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.

you know, i’ve played sky for more than a year each day.. but i could see the regression in seasons ideas, the absolute lack of different daily quests which became my worst daily! routine :( i was so full of it i took a break (a year break), i never regretted the IAPs i bought but prices are always too high for us kids and teens who are not even earn money yet.. the most of free season items are indeed ugly and unwearable. i returned back to the game but i don’t feel like buying another pass any time soon :/ and i would rather save seasonal candles to convert them to normal ones. we understand that you as a game company want your players to spend more time in game but mind you that all of us have life besides playing games and the candle farming time MUST be REDUCED to minimum, if we want to spend more time socialising and spending time with others, and not stressing out over farming every day…
Hidden Forest
JeffreyBroun
I have feeling that you wanna Kill the game and shut down all freedom how it was beforeIn Hidden Forest there was a place about the skies which was favorite of mine and other players , and now you start to create invisible sailings and floors , I could go more up like I could before and I saw someone was running there in invisible floor. Why you killing the game? Being the freedom back and stop create invisible borders above the sky
I'm disappointed
dartt.sss
As a veteran of this game, I’m very disappointed in what Sky has turned into. This game used to be filled with sincerity, humanity, care, and comfort. Now it’s just being milked for money and nothing more. It’s not normal that almost 90% of event items—things that were made with heart and soul—end up being locked behind paywalls. The latest update is exactly like that. Sandals in a virtual game cost the same as real sandals in the real world! Why can’t I buy those same items in a virtual game with the virtual currency that already exists here? Why spend 5 hours a day farming only to realize you can’t buy anything with it? It hurts to see what the game I once loved so much has become.
Suggestion about adding coloring quests
Я Лія
Dear reader,I would like to suggest adding a fun and relaxing activity to your game that is a coloring quest. A coloring quest could involve finding and completing a series of black and white illustrations scattered throughout your game world. Once a player finds an illustration, they can color it in. Incorporating a coloring quest into your game can be attractive to those who enjoy coloring books.Best regards, a Sky player
