SamuelWize WallpapersThe Museum Between Worlds — a playable live wallpaper in six paintings
An impossible museum outside reality, hung with six enormous paintings. Each one is a whole fading world where Wisp left a light behind, and SamuelWize steps through the frames to bring them home. There is no combat — movement is the entire game — and every painting he finishes permanently brings the gallery back to life. For Windows 10 & 11, multi-monitor ready.

Six worlds, hung on a wall, behind your icons
The Museum Between Worlds is a hand-built pixel world that runs as a true animated wallpaper behind your desktop icons. Left alone it auto-cycles in attract mode, touring all six paintings on its own. Press Ctrl+Alt+P and you take the controls — and there is nothing to fight. It's a traversal-first exploration platformer, so movement is the whole game: balancing, swinging, climbing ladders and walls, hanging and shimmying along ledges, riding steam lifts and living platforms, and sliding across true low-friction ice. "I carry light into dark places. I leave it there. I move on." — that's Wisp. SamuelWize is the one who follows to carry it home. Original soundtrack, photo mode with grade filters, and photosensitivity-graded scenes with a photosensitive-safe toggle. It's the first pack built on the new engine.
What hangs in the gallery
Japanese Garden
A moonlit garden — the first frame he steps into, and the first light to carry home.
Haunted Lighthouse
A storm-lashed lighthouse, its lamp still turning over a world that is fading out.
Snow Village
A frozen village. Another light left behind, another painting waiting to be finished.
Desert Ruins
Sun-bleached ruins — step through the frame and the ruins are the whole world.
Alien Jungle
A bioluminescent jungle, glowing on quietly. The fifth world, and the fifth light.
Victorian Skyline
Victorian rooftops, and the last frame. Finish it and the gallery is whole: six lights, carried home.
Not a picture. A world.
No combat. Movement is the game.
Balancing, swinging, climbing ladders and walls, hanging and shimmying along ledges, riding steam lifts and living platforms, and sliding on true low-friction ice. Nothing to fight — everywhere to go.
