Botanicula is yet another interesting point n click from Amanita Design, behind Samorost and Machinarium. Following a group of 5 different bugs and creatures from the forest, they band together to stop what seems to be the evil. Big spiders? Not sure, but it's bad and it must be stopped. Separated into 5 different levels (and a 6th final level), there is a big variation in what the world looks like with various creatures to meet and puzzles to solve. Much like the dev's previous games, you move around a lot only to come back later to an area you already had been in to progress - either because you needed to active or collect something. Once again, this game offers a unique art design and a fitting soundtrack. It is obvious at this point that this and its voice-less storytelling are the strongest parts in the games from Amanita. I can definitely recommend this game if you want to play more of the catalogue that the studio has to offer!

A truly beautiful and wonderfully unique game I played it in one sitting. It had this ability to tell a story with vibrant visuals and sounds that was breathtaking. U could immediately tell what was bad in the game by the discordant Erie tone that played at the introduction of Evil. Now I’m gonna eye up the other games by Amantia Design.
A good game. As I have said with similar ones, I was just unable to love this one. I came here after playing Machinarium and Samorost, and I was expecting a similar game. Botanicula is a similar game, but... different enough for me to not love it. I can recommend it because I see that the game is polished, entertaining and challenging. I can see its value even when I was unable to love it.
I don't know what I needed but it was exactly whatever this is
love this game
Beautiful, adorable little puzzle game.
Holy shit. This game was a journey. It genuinely put a big smile on my face. I'm gonna go add the soundtrack to my playlist right now!
i guess i'm really not the target audience
This game is charming in every way.
