Kotaku: Samorost

Juvenile Timewaster of the Day: Questionaut

Maggie Greene — Sun, 16 Mar 2008 13:00:07 MDT

I don't remember learning modules being this good when I was a munchkin: Samorost creators Amanita have put together a lovely game for the BBC, designed for 11 year olds. Questionaut is point and click, very pretty, and is tripping up adults left and right (that's what happens when you get far removed from your junior high school years and the concepts contained within, I guess). It's short and worth taking for a spin for the lovely environment alone, even if finding 20% of 140 is a bit below your intellectual level.

Machinarium, From The Makers of Samorost

Ah, Samorost. So beautiful! So woefully underappreciated by the gaming public at large. Maybe machinarium, the Samorost team's latest outing, will fare better. It's a "full-scale" adventure game for the PC, and should be out later this year. More info is coming "sooner or later", so for now, pass the day away gazing at these gorgeous screenshots.

Samorost 2 Out

If you haven't seen or played Samorost, you've missed out. A one-man project, Samorost is a web game: ethereal, weird, completely gorgeous and just a bit compelling. Part Myst, part Le Petit Prince, it takes some self-control to play as the story unfolds at its own pace, not yours. But it's worth it.

Now: Samorost 2. This time, there's also a "full game" version to purchase. Beautiful!
