An 80 average that undersells it — ask the 137 people who rated it. An adventure game leaning hard into fantasy, comedy — more about the journey than the destination. Just you and the game. No lobbies, no teammates, no excuses.

About this game

Humor-filled indie adventure game created by the makers of Machinarium. Like the previous games from Amanita Design, in Botanicula the player controls a protagonist (or multiple protagonists) while exploring the environment, solving puzzles and collecting items that are required for the obstacles that come in their way. The player is able to interact with other creatures and find easter eggs that are present in the lush environment. Like Machinarium, the game has no spoken or written dialogue.

Botanicula follows the adventure of five botanical creatures (named Mr. Lantern, Mr. Twig, Mr. Poppy Head, Mr. Feather and Mrs. Mushroom) who are trying to save the last seed of their home tree from evil parasitic creatures that have infested their home.
