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.

Why buy on GOG.COM?
DRM FREE. No activation or online connection required to play.
This game lives from its very good sounds and soundtrack.
It is rather easy, and can be played through in something like 4 or 5 hours (which I did in a single session).
Just loved the atmosphere it created.
Nice little indie game. The sound design is original and well done. The story is simple with a touch of innocence like the characters we're playing that is keeping you smiling.
Took me less than 4 hours to finish it. I don't regret it.
As a lifelong gamer (and occasional game designer), Botanicula is one of those titles that keeps me coming back to the hobby. Overflowing with imagination and charm, it wordlessly tells a story while also leaving the unfolding of that story in your hands.
Centering on exploring, collecting, and click puzzles, the game also utilizes some neat physics (particularly elastic behaviours) and further requires you to use the members of your team effectively.
The artwork is gorgeous, the music and sound perfectly integrated with the environment, and the creativity of the tree ecosystem is wonderful. And while I finished it in one day, it is an experience whose pleasure lasts much longer.
just playing for the last couple of minutes and the game is without any doubt a masterpiece. The music just keeps you in the game, puzzles that aren't so hard, but still are different from what you've tried before. Thanks Amanita Design for creating such a wonderful game
I have never played an Amanita game before but after these I am definitely considering looking into their older game (Machinarium) and any future games by them.
Botanicula's creative and unique art style and atmosphere was simply amazing. The beginning had a calm, peaceful, even playful feeling which the music incorporated perfectly. As you dive deeper into the eventual dark world of Botanicula the music and characters change.
The puzzles varied from being rather simple to somewhat frustrating. The humor was off beat and a little quirky but I loved every minute of it. The game was rather short but the art work and the music will make me play it again and again.
