Preorder this charming point & click exploration game on GOG.com, save 10%, and get access to a cornucopia of awesome goodies for just $8.99!

Rarely you find a group of people with imagination and drive to surprise and amaze gamers quite like Jaromír Plachý and Amanita Design. These guys are indie devs that grabbed attention of gamers worldwide with eerie flash point-and-click [url=http://amanita-design.net/samorost-1/" target="_blank]Samorost[/url], followed by Samorost 2 which won Best Web Browser Game in 2007, and their follow-up, the multiple award-winning [url=http://www.gog.com/news/release_machinarium" target="_blank]Machinarium[/url], their first full-length adventure and recent release on GOG.com.

Botanicula is point-and-click exploration game about five little friends: Mr. Twig, Mr. Lantern, Mr. Poppy Head, Mrs. Mushroom, and Mr. Feather. They all set out for a journey to save last seed from their home tree, which is infested by nasty parasites. The non-traditional storyline encourages you to explore, experience the new sights, meet strange tree creatures and listen to the music, rather than simply powering through the game and finding a solution. The original soundtrack and sound effects are created by Czech alternative band DVA and already won the game the Excellence in Audio award at IGF a few weeks ago. To add to the perfect game image, stylized graphics of Botanicula are mesmerizing and radiant, as you can easily see in the video.

Botanicula is a game of great atmosphere, funny animations, delightful music and playfulness. You can enjoy it for only $8.99 (that’s 10% off the original price!) in preorder, which ends on 19 April at 10.59 GMT.
9 dollars for this wonderful looking game? It's either really short or bargain of the century. The trailer is sublime. It makes me smile. The fact that this is made by Amanita Design just seals the deal. Sold!
What does "soundtrack demo" exactly mean?

Lokuas: I need to stop buying, and start playing! :sigh: ok, I'll buy this...
I hear ya, bro.. I've purchased enough games to last a few generations, but still haven't even touched many of them..
Yes :D
from those screens, that might be the most beautiful game i have ever seen! wow!
If John Walker over at Rock, Paper, Shotgun likes it, it's got to be amazing. Can't wait to play this!
Botanicula definitely belongs on GOG :)
Game looks great. What more, my sisters liked Machinarium so i am sure they will love this game.
Flash?
I'll totally pick this one up. Thanks!

Kunovski: wonderful! but I'll go check what does the collector's edition contain ;)
I have no idea what the collectors edition contains but I'd be interested in that. I know the disc version of Machinarium Collectors Edition contained FLAC copy of the soundtrack and I so love FLAC so I might just hold off and see what the developers have put into the collectors edition. Sorry GOG.

Pre-ordered.
Here's hoping that Samorost 2 will eventually become available for purchase here.

This uncertainty is the one thing holding me back from buying.
As far as I understood from the conference it does NOT seem to be the OST (which Amanita sells seperately for their older games and maybe plans to do the same for this game)
I wished a gog member could elucidate.

I'm not sure (haven't preordered yet) but I guess it's kind of self-explanatory: it's a demo of the soundtrack, probably containing 4-5 tracks from the X there are in total
Pre-ordered!
