  <description>The player interacts with the world with simple mouse clicks directing a small, white-clad humanoid with a little cap and brown boots (called simply "gnome" by Dvorsky). The object of the game is to avert a collision of the gnome's home planet and a large incoming spaceship. The name means "driftwood" in the Czech language.</description>

      <body>This is not a puzzle game that will require hours of your time to put the most intrinsic clues together; this is a game that requires only one thing: common sense. This game is actually fairly easy and most puzzles can be solved within in a minute or less. What some may forget is that if you were able to breeze through the game really quickly, you would never truly appreciate the amazing art style.


The art style is what really blew me away. The mix of animation and real pictures of wood or human faces is amazing. This is a game for everyone to enjoy.

      <body>Samorost uses a very creative art style: the graphics are composed primarily of pictures of unique (usually detailed pictures of small environments such as close-ups of wood). It also has distinctive music and sounds, adding up to a very memorable atmosphere. Playing it, it often brings you to appreciate the visual beauty of things you wouldn't otherwise have given much attention to.

Unfortunately, although I love the atmosphere, I found the game frustrating: it's a point and click adventure game, and often about finding the right thing to click on next. A lot of people like that genre of game, but it really isn't for me. I don't find it fun go hunt around the screen for clickable objects.

That said, at the very least, it's worth playing through once (even if it has to be with a walkthrough) just for the atmosphere.</body>
