Botanicula

Botanicula for PC and AND is a humorous adventure game which takes place in a fantasy world full of plants.

A famous animator, Jaromír Plachý, was responsible for the whole project, bringing a unique atmosphere and visual style to the game. The game features also a very pleasant soundtrack, composed by a Czech band, DVA.

The story focuses on five beings, living in the branches of a gigantic tree. Unfortunately, the tree is slowly dying because of a merciless attack of parasites.
