About NEVER HAPPENED

“If nobody notices, it’s art history.”

You are Vince Lang. Ten years of painting, and not one person ever stopped to look. Now you move fine art for a living.

One rule at this company: never leave a single scratch.

But hands slip. And the moment they do, you’re hundreds of millions of dollars in the hole. Which is why this company keeps a tradition, passed down for generations.

Paint over it. Make it never happened.

Three minutes until the inspector

The clock gives you 180 seconds. Take up the brush with shaking hands and fill in the torn canvas. For the first time in your life, your painting is needed—to make it never happened.

All you have is paint and your own skill

Mix your colors on the palette, read what’s left of the original with your own eyes, and retouch only what’s missing. Seeing the color is everything. The technique is the same as real restoration.

The inspector’s eye misses nothing

Your work is machine-scored against the original as a match rate (%). On top of the inspector’s merciless verdict, a heatmap lays bare exactly where you slipped. No excuses.

The evidence lines up, three across

After inspection, “original,” “just after the accident,” and “your restoration” sit side by side. A good fix begs to be shown off. A terrible one—you’ll want to show that off even more. Save the result as an image.

Compete with the world’s “restorers”

Battle players worldwide on the leaderboard by match rate. A Daily Challenge pits everyone against the same one-shot run with a set subject and time limit. Who covered it up best today?

Every masterpiece is real.

Over 40 works you’ve seen in textbooks—every one a high-resolution scan of the genuine, public-domain original. What you set your brush to is no replica, no copy—it’s art history itself.
