Sometimes it is difficult to take everything in when you are presented with this gorgeous, stunning mix of reality and artwork. Paying attention to everything happening on screen is vital to making progress, even if it is as minor as bugs making noises or the way a signpost is facing. You do it by clicking, deducing.Īlmost instantly, you’ll find yourself in a strange, surreal world with Samorost, where common combines with odd, solving somewhat leisurely puzzles that occasionally require a bit of extra thinking and clicking. And so you’ll travel to this asteroid, which is full of life and machinery and isn’t just some hunk of rock hurling its way towards death and destruction, and try to change its path. The story for the premiere entry in the series is that an asteroid is on a direct course to crash into the gnome’s home planet, and he will do whatever it takes to not let that happen. It’s fairly short, depending on how good of a clicker and puzzle solver you are, and it’s more about interacting with the environment than controlling the space gnome directly. That’s why I headed over to the developer’s website, where you can play the first Samorost for free in your browser. Suffice to say, I like Amanita Design’s games, as weird as they are, and I want to eventually play them all. I played Samorost 2 way back in the day (circa 2010, when I was moving out of my studio apartment), and only just realized with the latest news that I never touched the first in the series, though I did bang my head against a wall for hours in Machinarium, less in Botanicula. I mean, to be honest, I haven’t really thought about the Samorost series in a good long while. Samorost 3 is the latest release from this company and have recently announced the planning of their latest creation, Chuchel, which will be released some time in 2017.The surprising news the other day was that Samorost 3 is on its way, launching on PC and Mac on March 24, 2016. Throughout the game you’ll be able to unlock 123 creature cards that can be found while exploring the 15o plus locations.Īmanita Design was first brought into the limelight with their popular browser game, Samorost, released back in 2003. The protagonists are 5 little creatures who are trying to plant a light side and protect it from the evil parasites that inhabit the tree. Probably the strongest creature of the bunch.īotanicula is the award-winning game by Amanita Design and was released for Windows, OS X and Linux in 2012.
