Samorost 2
Back in 2003, Czech-born Jakub Dvorsky released his art school thesis project titled Samorost as a free online flash adventure game. Little did he expect that the game would soon become so popular, it would crash his friend’s server where it was hosted. Blending surreal Monty Python-esque visuals with a hauntingly compelling soundtrack, Samorost told the story of a space gnome attempting to save the asteroid he lived on from imminent collision with an approaching space-rock. The simple yet remarkably fun game involved guiding the gnome through a highly imaginative world by interacting with mechanical contraptions and vibrant life-forms spread across the space-rock environment.
Samorost 2 is the eagerly awaited next installment in the series from Jakub and his small team at Amanita Design. The sequel takes you back to the enchanting world of the space gnome, and begins dramatically with aliens landing in his backyard one evening, stealing fruits from his tree and then abducting his faithful doggie companion after he tries to alert his master. Awoken by the commotion outside, the stunned gnome soon realizes what has transpired and promptly hops into his spaceship (still in his white pajamas and nightcap) to pursue the aliens back to their home planet. From there on, it’s up to you to guide him through the alien world, rescue his beloved dog and return home safely.
