Description
Botanicula is a point'n'click exploration game created by Jaromír Plachý and Amanita Design. It’s about a group of five friends -- little tree creatures who set out on a journey to save the last seed from their home tree, which is infested by evil parasites. The gameplay is about exploration, solving little funny puzzles, meeting strange tree creatures, and paying attention to the music as it provides you with useful clues and hints. The whole game takes place on one huge and strange tree that is inhabited by bizarre and freaky creatures.

This is not an ordinary game. It is far from it. Everything about it is curiously unique and very surreal, and that alone makes it worth checking out. It's just not possible to be bored in this game, as every new location brings something new and intriguing. The exploration elements are made with incredible polish and attention to detail, and the same applies to the musical score, sound effects, and, most importantly, the visuals. The synergy of those elements create a beautiful and memorable adventure that is enthralling beyond measure.
  • Visually stunning and emotionally touching game that is as unique and bizarre as it is fun.
  • Highly interactive environment that encourages experimentation and exploration.
  • Stylized soundtrack and sound effects, created by Czech alternative band DVA, are beautifully synchronized with what is happening on the screen.
  • Special Botanicula language.

Short but lovely

Superb sounds and art make this game an unforgettable experience. I played this game with childish joy. If you like point and click games at all and have a few dollars to spare, you should buy this game. Botanicula is much easier than Machinarium but children might have difficulties with completing the puzzles without help. The only downside is that you will play through the game in maybe 2-3 hours.

Who needs language?

Botanicula stands out as a game with a strong narrative - a narrative told solely from character movement, sound and music. Five forest buddies on a quest to save a tree, a bunch of evil parasite creatures and a tree full of strange, quirky denizens. For such a simple setting, Botanicula evokes a lot of emotions. It'll have you chuckling away like a child in no time.

Good but VERY short

Botanicula is quirky, creative, has some good puzzles that are not overly difficult and a great artistic style that is often charming. As a game it is fun but remarkably short. I finished it without hints in about 5 hours of total play.

Essence of unexpected

Botanicula balances on the edge of game and interactive introduction of psychedelic funny world. And it does not maater at all. It is amazing to have just a few options to click and look forward every of them because probably something surprising and funny is going to happen. I was laughing loudly all those few hours of exploring... and another few hours again watching my friends doing the same.
