Developer Seedborne announced Caution Wet Paint, a comedy game where players watch a freshly painted brick wall dry in real time over 2 to 5 hours, then touch it when they think it is dry. Touching too early means restarting. The game releases on PC via Steam on July 15 (July 16 in Japan).
Seedborne announced Caution Wet Paint on June 11, a game that reduces interaction to a single choice: touch the wall when you believe the paint is dry. The screen shows only a freshly painted brick wall, a clock, and ambient sounds. Drying takes between two and five hours. If the player touches before the paint cures, the game resets to the painting phase. The developer, known for Charmcraft Idle and The Enigma Lounge, also plans to release The Last (Hotdog) Stand on June 25. Caution Wet Paint arrives on Steam on July 15, with a July 16 release in Japan due to time zone differences.
