Humor-filled indie adventure game created by the makers of Machinarium.
Like the previous games from Amanita Design, in Botanicula the player controls a protagonist (or multiple protagonists) while exploring the environment, solving puzzles and collecting items that are required for the obstacles that come in their way. The player is able to interact with other creatures and find easter eggs that are present in the lush environment. Like Machinarium, the game has no spoken or written dialogue.

- Makes you want to play outside.
Botanicula feels like playing outside. It’s an epic adventure where some really small friends try to save a tree from evil dark spider-lings. It’s the old tale of life versus death, but it’s deadly cute. Touched my heart. It can even be educational: it can teach the value of using drugs to enhance your creativity. ๐
Conclusion: It’s fun, beautiful, well thought, challenging, and with a great soundtrack. A great visual, musical and cognitive experience.
