“This game is a work of art and this studios work got better and more intricate with time.”
“Adorable little point & click game that takes me back to when I used to play flash games on Newgrounds.com as a kid. I remember this game being far more challenging back then! The whimsical animations drawn over…”
“It's a cute 15 minute classic puzzle game. There's some strange logic, but it was the first game released by the esteemed Amanita Games team, and their cutesy influence is definitely felt in Samorost. It's hard not to…”

“Lovely little bite-sized morsel of a game starring a funny little space gnome and several animals with human eyes that asks for only 15 minutes of your time. I never played the original but it definitely brought me…”
“I like how this game focuses on the puzzles rather than a plot or story. The puzzle design is pretty logical and you can figure out how to progress pretty intuitively. There's no moon logic in this game. The atmosphere…”

“A tiny glimpse of what was to come, Samarost 1 feels like the charming beginning of something special. With less than 15 minutes of gameplay, it’s more of a little taste than a full adventure. Samarost 2 and 3 take the…”

“Lovely point and click adventure game! Machinarium brought me to this game, and I can definitely see the same charm here. I really enjoyed the art style and the silly, dreamlike world”
— a player, Steam review · 0 hrs played“Cute little game It's extremely, extremely, extremely short. How short? Roughly 10 minutes is all that'll take to complete it. A simple, straightforward mini puzzle game. The art is really unique and fitting. The game has no text/spoken dialogue- therefore anyone can play it…”
