Free point-and-click adventure game
Samorost 1 is a mind-boggling adventure game with a surreal, silly and unnerving atmosphere. The sound effects produced by interacting with the world are pretty interesting and create a unique effect. If you’re a fan of indie games, you will definitely enjoy this title. The game is downloadable for free or you can contribute a donation to the developers.
Samorost 1 is hard to compare with anything we’ve experienced. It’s tempting to say that it’s a one-of-a-kind game. That said, if you’re looking for point-and-click adventure games created by indie developers, you can also try How We Know We’re Alive or Pirate Fox Detective: The Case of The Conspicuous Klawz Crew.
This remastered version of the 2003 flash game is improved in all facets, including music, sounds, gameplay and graphics. It was developed by Amanita Design, a Czech indie game development team, and founded by the Animator and artist Jakub Dvorsky. Samorost 1 is the first in a trilogy of games.
