Out at midnight: Botanicula is a surreal organic adventure from the maker of Machinarium
With PG First Play video
Machinarium maker Amanita Design will release the iPad edition of its bizarre nature adventure Botanicula on the UK and US App Stores tonight.
The game stars five nature trail objects - a stick, mushroom, feather, poppy head, and one of those funky Chinese lantern-looking flowers - on a quest to plant the last seed in a world overrun with evil spiders.
It's a point-and-click adventure, so you'll be solving puzzles, finding items, and exploring locations. Like in Machinarium, though, there isn't a word of dialogue in this game, so you'll have to work things out from body language and animations.
Botanicula will cost £2.99 / $4.99, and will surface on iPad in the UK and US at around midnight. Amanita tells us that an Android edition is also in the works.
