{# 000000}{!}Hey there!{/!}

It's me,{0.5} {!}{+tart}!{/!}

What you've just downloaded and begun playing{n}is known as{0.5} "{~}The Other Gallery That Time Forgot{/~}"

Or just the gallery for short

This is a short collection of non-interactive experiences that I and a handful of other people{n}have been working on for some time

The idea at the start was to make a small secondary example map for esoterica,{0.5} but then it sort of...

{~}expanded in scope a bit{/~}

I brought some more people in

And now esoterica is over when I'm releasing this

Now if your first thought when hearing this is

[TART left tartmad]

"Hey,{0.5} that sounds a{0.2} {~}{!}LOT{/!}{/~} like Aesthetica by Spooooky!"

[TART left tart]

Well,{0.5} it's a long story{n}{0.5}but basically it was convergent evolution again

({~}Why does this keep happening to me?{/~})

I contacted Spooooky about joining this project{n}a long while before Aesthetica came out

I'm really glad I did{n}{0.5}just so we could both situate ourselves a bit

If you have played Aesthetica,{0.5} don't worry

While this is similar,{0.5} I do think it stands as its own thing

{~}You'll see{/~}

Now,{0.5} before you play the gallery{n}there are a few things I'd like to mention

Firstly,{0.5} all of the pieces in the gallery{n}finish on their own

Once a piece is started{n}{0.5} there is nothing else you need to do

Which, by the way,{0.5} thanks to the{n}help of some {~}advanced technology{/~}

All the pieces are counted as cleared{n}the moment you enter them

So if you feel like you get the gist of a piece{n}{0.5} you can just leave early

Secondly,{0.5} at least so far{n}the gallery is custom skin friendly{n}{0.5} so don't worry about having to turn anything off

And lastly,{0.5} the gallery is not static!

There are still like 1-2 pieces being worked on{n}that will probably be added in an update semi-soon

If after playing the gallery{n}{0.5} you feel like making some Celeste art pieces yourself and adding them to the gallery...

{!}Contact me!{/!} We can talk about{n}adding your own piece to the gallery

Anyways,{0.5} without further ado

{~}Please enjoy the gallery as it exists now{/~}{#}
