A gnomish adventure of cosmic proportions.



<span class="bold">Samorost 3</span>, an adorable puzzle/adventure of rewarding experimentation atop strange worlds, is now available DRM-free on GOG.com for Windows and Mac.

You've saved your home planet. You've rescued your dog from alien kidnappers. Now adventure knocks at your miniature door once again, as a magic flute of mysterious origins falls from the sky and into your curious hands.

In the past, we've entrusted Amanita Design with our endearing journeys through Machinarium's aluminum metropolis and Botanicula's microscopic ecosystem and never failed to emerge emotionally refreshed. But it all started with Samorost, a unique blend of fantastic imagery and whimsical sound design that immediately invoked a lighthearted familiarity. In the vastly expanded universe of Samorost 3, the structured randomness of Amanita's signature cause-and-effect gameplay mechanic is once again at the core of the Gnome's interactions with the bizarre worlds and their even more eccentric inhabitants. Will you be able to find out just where this peculiar flute came from? What dangers, mysteries, and friendships await as you explore these intriguing, unfamiliar planets? All the answers are just one click away. Or several, if you are lucky.



Interact with <span class="bold">Samorost 3</span>'s vividly imagined worlds and creatures while searching for the owner of a magic flute, DRM-free on GOG.com. Can't get enough of the intoxicating visuals and tunes? Click at the <span class="bold">Cosmic Edition</span> and see how the artbook and soundtrack respond. But if you are not ready to commit just yet, you can always grab these wonderful goodies <span class="bold">later</span>.

budejovice: Looks nice. I will definitely wait until the devs have revealed whatever tricks they plan to play on GOG customers.

Tarhiel: What are you talking about?
Wishlisted in my case.
I'd say it's a reference to the Botanicula debacle, where Amanita took pre-orders on GOG for the game, then on release day ran a "Botanicula Debut" Humble Bundle where you could buy the game, plus extra stuff not available on GOG (such as the full soundtrack) for a pay-what-you-want price.

Many people were extremely upset, particularly about the fact that pre-ordering had got them *less* than people who paid a fraction of the price.

With Samorost 2 ist was not much better. Humble sold the game (DRM-free) at much lower price on release afair.

I see know, thanks for clarifying - totally forgot about it.
Well, in that case I can understand budejovice´s remark, although I will buy their game here sooner or later.

Hope Amanita have learned from their mistake.

I have samorost 2

i dont know samorost that well, i still need to finish samorost 2

so the 17.99 is a bit much for now, if they only had released a playable demo like annas quest did, so we can see how it plays and how the new graphic look, there are videos, but best experience is playing a game yourself, not watching a game on a video.

Jul 3, 2015 annas quest was 19.99 and on sales at 17.99 i bought it cause there was a small demo, i played it and i liked it.

braveland was known cause i played a bigfish demo long time ago, so i bought the game at release, also bought 2 and 3 later at release.

All the classic games i own on retail (wont work ofcourse on win 7) were also instabuys when i saw them here.
All games that i knew or had been playing a demo of, so demos, are good for sales.
If there could be a playable demo of samorost 3, i could play it and evaluate and maybe buy the game at lis price, but 99% of the publishers wont release demos (they believe it 'damages' possible sales of a game)

Anyway if nelly cootalot : the fowl fleet could be here chances would be very big i bought that one at list price (played a demo)
19.99 is listprice at steam, on sale now at 16.99... and thats a nice price: 16.99 cause i know the game (demo)
So let the playable game demos flow....

I will buy it here as well, eventually and discounted. Also note MarkoH01's post - I would have forgiven the Botanicula shenanigans had they not done something similarly anti-GOG with Samorost 2.

Seems to be £1 more expensive on both Steam and Humble, so maybe they're trying to make things up to GOG's customer base.

Having just bought 7 point & clicks in the insomnia sale I won't be buying this for a while though.

This looks pretty impressive.

Nice addition GOG, even if it doesn't get much attention at the moment, according to this thread. Love the art style.

Serious question:
Why isn't Samorost 1 offered as a bonus with either Samorost 2 or 3?

P.S. I know it is available for free on the web.

Poor Samorost 3. Getting released right in the middle of a sale. That can't be so great. If the first two are anything to go by, this one should rock.

Cool. :) I'm definitely up for another lovely Amanita game.

I just "made" my own Samorost 1 by downloading the single free flash files and putting them all together.

Especially because they said that this should be much bigger than the first two. Stll a bit too expensive for my taste. I know they are doing good flash games - maybe the best - but still ...
