THE ART WORLD IS ON WHEELS!
The Curator is a roguelite gallery-management simulation where you must satisfy hordes of art lovers in a traveling van. Use the unique synergies of your collection to turn a profit and survive the journey.
NIGHT IS FOR PLANNING, DAY IS FOR PROFIT
At night, organize and re-arrange artworks to unlock synergies. Artworks have "Preferences". Some hate abstract neighbors, others need specific conditions. Create the perfect layout to maximize appeal.
When the sun rises, watch the chaos unfold. Visitors flood your caravan, judging every choice you made. Keep an eye on suspicious visitors; they might offer rare upgrades. Upgrade your van to manipulate and satisfy the visitors.
CURATE. SELL. UPGRADE.
Start with a humble van and transform it into a mobile masterpiece. Use your earnings to expand your gallery, buying more slots and powerful upgrades to manipulate the city and satisfy even the harshest critics.
