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.
