![]() Realising the orb must be kept safe, the acorn creature summons four of it’s friends and they begin a journey down the tree in an attempt to keep their home safe. At the top of the tree is are a trio of glowing orbs, the source of the tree’s life force but as the spider creature tries to take the final orb, it falls eventually being found and hidden inside a tiny acorn shaped creature. The game starts as a malevolent spider creature makes it’s way up a magical tree, consuming the life force out of the tree itself as well as the multitude of small creatures it finds on it’s way. ![]() The game relies less on traditional point and click logic and relies instead on using the environment and the creatures that dwell there to proceed. If you’ve played either of the Samorost games, particularly Samorost 2, then you’ll have a good idea what you’re going to be playing with Botanicula beautiful artwork, lovely sounds and a much more abstract approach to a point and click game. Does Botanicula still fit into the point and click mold or is it more unique type of game? However, Amanita’s new game Botanicula owes more to the slightly more abstract Samorost games, the last of which came out in 2005. The tale of a small robot seeking his true love both looked and sounded great and the game was a really solid old school adventure title. ![]() Amanita Design showed that there was definitely still legs in the point ‘n click adventure genre when they released the charming Machinarium in 2009.
