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.
Seems interesting and as I love Machinarium, I'll probably buy this one. But... not here. I want Linux & Mac OS X versions, too, sorry...

Same here! I'll buy the Linux version from the developers website with full soundtrack for $10!

MasodikTiasma: You should mark this as "completed" on the Community wishlist. Just a reminder...
Not 'till the game ships. But I should probably switch the status to "in progress".

EDIT: Never mind. I can see one of the devs switched it to "completed". :P

Cool. Btw, I'm also petitioning for a Linux release on GOG! My girlfriend uses Ubuntu, and Amanita design games are pretty much the only games she appreciates. Help me in my endeavour to convert her to gaming!

Just buy it directly by Amanita Design, then you will get Versions for all three platforms including the complete Soundtrack (not only 3 tracks) for $10.

I would incline towards GT, it doesn't seem natural for me. ;)
Not sure that I like that situarion about OST... I would like to know if that helped the devs at all to get more sales on their site versus on digital downloads.

But still preordered it, mostly to support GoG.

definitely better to be on GOG and devs' website than just devs' website :)
19th of April, 11:24 GMT... Where is my Botanicula? ;-)
Wait another 30 minutes and you will find out :P

Same here. I hope GOG will eventually branch out to sell to Mac and Linux users in the future. Hopefully, it would be a profitable venture for them. I know I'd certainly welcome that news.
