About the Game

Ars et Anima invites you to step across the threshold of the Italian Renaissance. Taking on the role of Fra Angelico (Il Beato Angelico), the celebrated friar and painter, you receive a commission of immense prestige from Cosimo de' Medici himself: to bring a timeless masterpiece to life. But time is ticking, and art demands sacrifice.

The adventure takes place within the evocative walls of the historic convent known today as the famous San Marco Museum in Florence. To complete your work, you must explore its sacred halls and gain the support of your fellow friars. As guardians of knowledge, they will not part with their precious materials easily: they will test your culture through riddles and quizzes in Ancient Latin to ensure you are truly worthy of representing their faith and their art.

Test Your Knowledge

Every correct answer brings you closer to completing the painting. Face an intellectual challenge built upon four core pillars:

  • Ancient Latin: Translations, vocabulary, and ancient maxims.

  • Core Knowledge: General and historical culture questions.

  • Culture & Learning: Put your thirst for knowledge to the test.

  • Comprehension & Memory: Remember the details to avoid wasting resources.

An Intimate and Contemplative Experience

Ars et Anima offers a sanctuary from modern frenzy. Immerse yourself in the calm, serene atmosphere of the San Marco convent, beautifully recreated in a realistic 3D indie art style. An adventure with a serious, historical, and deeply reflective tone.

Challenge Your Mind (Replayability)

The art of perfection requires practice. Retread the corridors of the convent to sharpen your skills:

  • Multiple difficulty levels to test even the most experienced Latinists.

  • Score system to beat your personal high scores.

  • Gradual progression of your real-world linguistic and historical knowledge.

Key Features

  • Educational Quizzes in Ancient Latin: Learn while playing and rediscover the roots of the language.
