Humble Bundle Weekly Sale - Amanita Design and Friends

This week we go to the land of point-and-click!

Adventure point-and-click games has a special place in my heart. In my childhood I played games like King's Quest and Torin's Passage (Sierra Entertainment R.I.P) and because of that the genre is dear. But today you don't see a lot of them in the main stream. So thank goodness for indie!

In the bundle we have four marvels of mind.

First of there is Samorost 2 from Amanita Design - Sequel to the browser based Samorost 1, you lead a little space gnome in search of his dog that got kidnapped by aliens. This game is good for anyone and the style of animation gives me a slight reminder of the style Terry Gillliam used in the Flying Circus. Prepare for a challenge and a journey through strange and amazing environments.

Second on also comes from , the winner of Independent Game Festival's (IGF) Excellence in Visual Art Awards 2009, Machinarium. The game is about a little robot that goes through a ramshackle machine city on a quest to save his friends from bullies. A beautiful game of puzzle and art. If you like games like Myst, this is for you.





Next we move into the really unique. Using a set built out of cardboard and a camera combined with CG, State of play Games brings you Lume. This game has some serious work behind it and I'm just stunned by how it looks. Amazing. But the game is about you helping your grandfather to get the lights back on by solving puzzles (also out of paper) and maybe see what lies behind the blackout.





Lastly we come to the surreal. Windosill, from Vectorpark, Inc, is a simple puzzle game with very strange and almost dream-like environments. Your task is to open a door so that the little blue truck can go into the next room. Click, drag and experiment to find the cube to open the door. It's a playful and funny game that, even though its strangeness, will give you a smile.






Enjoy!
