Press reviews: “Turn-based games usually don’t hold my attention for very long, but I was glued to this game for a few hours.” Kotaku “I just all night binged on an educational game, what is happening. I'll tell you what is happening... art.” Extra Credits “ARTé is a rather neat distillation of profit-seeking that cuts out just about everything besides cutting deals. You’re a representative of the Medici, one of history’s most famous trading houses, and your job is simple: make that sweet cash.” Rock Paper Shotgun 

Notes: Classical artworks from famous Renaissance artists which may include nudity.
