Botanicula is a magical story about friendship, hope, and the fight against darkness in a breathtaking world of living nature. In the dense woods lies a danger, darkness leeching life from its denizens. Five friends, no bigger than bugs, go on a dangerous quest to rescue the last seed of the Tree of Life. They will meet friendly and hostile creatures, solve puzzles and reveal the magical secrets of this world. Huge thanks to Amanita Design for standing with Ukraine! You have repeatedly organized charitable initiatives to help our country in these difficult times. For those who are unaware, here’s what Amanita Design posted on their social media and Steam: [quote=Amanita Design] "From March 26 to April 2, we are donating 100% of the proceeds from all our games and DLC to People in Need to support humanitarian relief in Ukraine, where Russian forces continue their invasion, committing war crimes and atrocities against civilians. Your contribution will help provide food, warmth, home repairs, and essential care to families and individuals suffering under ongoing Russian aggression." As a Ukrainian, I am sincerely grateful for this initiative. I have purchased all of your games along with the DLC and encourage everyone who values quality indie projects and humanity to do the same. Ignore the review-bombing from Russians who complain about "politics in games" or even post hateful comments and threats simply because of your support for Ukraine. Your actions are a true testament to humanity and solidarity, and many players deeply appreciate them.

TLDR Family-friendly point-and-click adventure in a “botanical” setting, charming and unique aesthetics, although simple gameplay [18/20⭐, 5h🏅, 1/5💡] Context Botanicula is a family-friendly point-and-click adventure game, which follows a group of creatures trying to plant a new tree to inhabit after an invasion by parasitic creatures. Being an Amanita game you can expect an exquisite experience, even if very simple in gameplay this time. Writing The game takes place in a tree habitat that is being corrupted by some parasitic creatures. You play as a group of… botanically-inspired creatures as they try to reach the surface to plant a new tree. As they adventure to the bottom of the tree, they meet and help varied creatures, but there really isn’t much of a deeper plot. There is no voice acting and all dialogs with other creatures are all pictorial. Aesthetics This is the point where my writing skills just can’t make justice to Botanicula. Amanita excels at creating unique and artistic aesthetics that perfectly capture the game’s world, and this one is no exception. The visuals and the soundtrack are simple and cute without feeling childish. The game progresses essentially by interacting with other creatures, which always result in whimsical animations. Gameplay Technically, this plays as a point-and-click adventure: you interact with creatures, and collect and use items. At some points you can choose which of the playable characters should act. But don’t expect any remotely complex puzzles. The game is straightforward, and mostly about finding the right creature to interact. Even the extras, finding every creature and collect their cards, follow the same design, and toughest challenges amount to clicking in several hotspots with medium speed. But don’t get me wrong: that’s exactly how a game like Botanicula should play out, where you are mostly exploring the environment and the beautiful animations. You can’t die, there are no gameovers nor deadends. The game auto-saves automatically, but you can save at any place manually. Value It took me 3h to finish the game, which is split into 6 chapters, and then about extra 2h to get all the creature cards (they do not accumulate through runs). You can save the game at any point, although there are only 6 slots. Achievements are related to collecting those creature cards, which may not require an additional complete playthrough if you keep saves games at the right places.
