Three hearts, one infinite canvas, together we illuminate a starry night.
Dear Van Gogh is an interactive journey through the life, art, and inner world of Vincent van Gogh. Travel inside his paintings to witness his earliest uncertainties, his Paris awakening, and the fragile beauty of his final years. Discover and feel the weight of a life lived, and the invisible hands that held it together.
From the award-winning creators of Journey, join a global community and play through an unforgettable experience of empathy, connection, and art.
A Story Most People Have Never Heard
Everyone knows the legend of Van Gogh. Few know the full story.
At the heart of Van Gogh’s life was a decades-long exchange of letters with his brother, Theo, filled with doubt, wonder, and unfailing devotion that made Van Gogh’s art possible in the first place. Now you can discover that bond firsthand. Guided by Johanna, Theo’s wife and the quiet force who carried Vincent’s legacy forward, you will piece together the story behind the paintings and discover that what we call genius was also, and always, an act of love.
Dear Van Gogh is their story, as much as his.
Art You Can Walk Through
Explore beautiful, playable environments made from Van Gogh's best known paintings, from sunlit fields in the Netherlands to the glowing night skies that only he could imagine. Each and every landscape is a work of art in motion, rendered in his bold, expressive brushstroke style and alive with the emotion he poured into every canvas.
Paint the World with Others
Just as Van Gogh was never truly alone in his creative journey, neither are you. Use Sky’s signature brushstroke mechanic to collaborate with other players, bringing color and light back to the world together. Because some things are simply more beautiful when shared.
Return to the Real World, Evolved
At the end of the experience, pause and look back at what you experienced. You’re welcome to reflect on and share what you observed and what moved you. Dear Van Gogh in Sky is more than just a game, it is an invitation to see one of history’s greatest artists in a new light, and question everything you thought you knew about the story behind the art.

I have absolutely no idea what to do at the beginning, because it's not like what others have in videos. They have an introduction sequence and explain the controls, but for me the person is just standing at the altar with literally nothing else. I found out I can make him sit down if I quit the game and re-enter immediately, and after a few minutes of waiting I can zoom with two fingers pinching... but other than that I can do absolutely nothing. I'm only giving this game 5 stars because it really does look amazing, just a shame that I personally can't experience it. Hopefully it gets fixed soon somehow.
Bugs

I love the game but please do something with the bugs. Can’t move the camera, the spirits can’t be lighten up or we can’t even see them. Krills bugging too, but we can live with that. But wouldn’t be angry if it would we fixed. The candles next to the benches can’t be lighten up. We can’t do the sit next to a stranger daily mission. Put voice chat in the game. Some words can’t show our message for example so far in hungarian (eddig). This new season at the valley is not clean at all. Make the game more enjoyable. I’ve been playing since the game came out, I’m loving it and i’ve met so many nice people. Made friendships. The bugs just need to be fixed, and we need more content. That’s all. Please!
Best mobile game ever

I really liked Journey and Abzu but this games advances the core mechanics to a whole new level. The social aspects of this game is incredibly good, the gameplay is fun and relaxing which is a relief after a long day of work. You can make so many friends in game, but it’s really addictive. Yeah yeah, crashes and server room changes happens frequently, but as a boy U can basically make a HAREM cause the population of the players are mostly girls. 10/10
My opinion on the game

This is one of the games that I played for a long time. The game is truly beautiful, all the realms,and it is so nice to interact with people from all around the world. They even have a translator in it. The outfits and hairstyles are really creative and cool too! Sadly I feel like the game has lost its purpose after some time, and now it’s all about saving up for cosmetics which are truly expensive. There is also more and more that one has to spend real money on. Basically everything truly nice costs real money and what you can buy for „free“ (after a lot of saving), is noticeably plainer.
