Time Princess is turning four. To celebrate this milestone, developer IGG has decided to hold one of the game’s most impressive collaborations yet. Time Princess x Mauritshuis takes the much-loved dressing-up game to the Hague, Netherlands, and through the doors of the world-renowned Mauritshuis Museum, home to many of the most famous paintings on earth.
Currently on display in the magnificent 17th-century former residence of Johan Maurits, Prince of Nassau-Siegen, you’ll find such iconic masterpieces as Girl with the Pearl Earring, The Goldfinch, and The Anatomy Lesson of Dr Nicolaes Tulp.And you don’t even need to travel to find them. Some of these paintings will be on display in the game, along with numerous outfits and jewelry items inspired by them.
The developers at IGG assert they have poured their hearts into this collaboration, and they’ve certainly invested heavily in creative ambition and risk-taking. It takes courage to collaborate with an Old Master.
During the Time Princess x Mauritshuis collab event you’ll be able to see not just Girl with the Pearl Earring, but IGG’s own interpretation of the celebrated portrait complete with adjustments designed to capture the elegance and mystery of the eponymous subject.
Naturally, there’s also a new story chapter to enjoy. It’s called Her Invitation, and it sees you visiting the Mauritshuis Museum with your former time-traveling companion Alain, trying on outfits and immersing yourself in the art world.
We’ve always known that Time Princess is more than a simple dress-up game, cleverly incorporating a significant amount of historical and cultural education into its accessible gameplay. But this might be the franchise’s most ambitious undertaking yet.
