Samorost dev’s new game is called Chuchel

Samorost, Machinarium, and Botanicula – all these cute-looking, hand-drawn adventure games came from the team at Amanita Design, Czech-based game studio. While the players have been enjoying Samorost 3, released earlier this year, the developers moved on to another project, called Chuchel, which they are now teasing. The game is due out in 2017, but other than this, not much information can be deduced from the two teaser videos. Anyway, Chuchel looks like it is going to be a bit darker and more psychedelic than Amanita’s previus works.

If previous games by Amanita Designs are to be any indicator, Chuchel will likely be a point-and-click adventure game with extraordinary world, inventive puzzles, beautiful audiovisuals and characters who communicate with each other using non-verbal grunts or strange, emotional language. This concept worked just fine in the Samorost series and other games, so we expect it will be equally successful in Chuchel. And if the developers want to shift the game’s atmosphere toward something more ominous, all the better for it.
