User Summary

Traditionally used to refer to any skill or mastery, the term 'art' now refers to the process or product of deliberately arranging elements in a way to affect the senses or emotions. It encompasses a diverse range of human activities, creations, and modes of expression including music, literature, painting, and other visual media.

An art game (arthouse game or less commonly auteur game) has come to be understood as describing a video game designed to emphasize art or whose structure is intended to produce some kind of reaction in its audience. They also typically go out of their way to have a unique, unconventional look, often standing out for aesthetic beauty or complexity in design.
