Amanita Design, the Czech studio greatest recognized for Machinarium and the Samorost trilogy, is at the moment providing as much as 85% off all its video games, with cash from all gross sales going to humanitarian support in Ukraine.
“From March 26 to April 2, we’re donating 100% of the proceeds from all our video games and DLC to Individuals in Must help humanitarian aid in Ukraine,” writes Amanita in a Steam announcement. “Your contribution will assist present meals, heat, dwelling repairs, and important care to households and people struggling underneath the continued Russian aggression.”
The deal consists of heavy reductions on each Machinarium and the Samorost sequence. The unique Samorost, which launched as a browser sport in 2003, is definitely free to obtain, whereas Samorost 2 is at the moment obtainable for $1.50/£1.28, Samorost 3, the most important and arguably greatest sport within the trilogy, is decreased 85% to £2.54/$3. As for Machinarium, which stays Amanita’s most well-known and celebrated sport, that is obtainable for £5/$6.
For my part, although, the highlights listed here are the video games Amanita developed within the latter half of its existence, all of that are wilder and weirder than both Samorost or Machinarium. 2012’s Botanicula is a marvellous comedy journey about microscopic organisms, and stays one of many funniest video games I’ve ever performed. 2020’s Creaks, in the meantime, is a spooky, atmospheric journey with unimaginable artwork that noticed the developer diverge from its level ‘n’ click on roots to a barely mechanically broader puzzle-platformer. That is all the way down to £5/$6.
Amanita’s present mission is Phonopolis, an journey sport with property all hand-made from cardboard, the place you play a dustman known as Felix who instantly finds himself on the forefront of a revolution in opposition to a dystopian regime. “Loosely impressed by the works of Karel Čapek and George Orwell, the story of Phonopolis explores themes of social manipulation and individualism, however retains the general expertise playful and light-hearted,” its Steam web page explains.
Every of Amanita’s video games is on sale individually, however you may as well purchase the complete Amanita bundle, which incorporates all the sport’s soundtracks, for simply over £25/$33. Not unhealthy for eight of the weirdest, most imaginative journey video games you may ever play. The deal runs till April 2.
