"Amanita Design, the Czech studio best known for
Machinarium and the
Samorost trilogy, is currently offering up to 85% off all its games, with
money from all sales going to humanitarian aid in Ukraine.
"From March 26 to April 2, we're donating 100% of the proceeds from all our
games and DLC to People in Need to support humanitarian relief in Ukraine,"
writes Amanita in a Steam announcement. "Your contribution will help provide
food, warmth, home repairs, and essential care to families and individuals
suffering under the ongoing Russian aggression."
The deal includes heavy discounts on both
Machinarium and the
Samorost
series. The original
Samorost, which launched as a browser game in 2003, is
actually free to download, while
Samorost 2 is currently available for
$1.50/£1.28,
Samorost 3, the biggest and arguably best game in the trilogy,
is reduced 85% to £2.54/$3. As for
Machinarium, which remains Amanita's most
famous and celebrated game, that's available for £5/$6.
In my opinion, though, the highlights here are the games Amanita developed in
the latter half of its existence, all of which are wilder and weirder than
either
Samorost or
Machinarium. 2012's
Botanicula is a marvellous comedy
adventure about microscopic organisms, and remains one of the funniest games
I've ever played. 2020's
Creaks, meanwhile, is a spooky, atmospheric
adventure with incredible art that saw the developer diverge from its point 'n'
click roots to a slightly mechanically broader puzzle-platformer. That's down
to £5/$6."
These are all excellent games.
Share and enjoy,
