Little adventure by the developer Amanita Design, famous for Samorost, Machinarium and Chuchel . This time out, with little vignettes and an inventory made of cards, each card being a person or an object. You still have pictograms instead of words to convey information. I thought it might have been their first game because it's obviously less ambitious and because of the hand-drawn retro style that reminds of eastern european cartoons of the 20th century, but no, it was made long after Machinarium. You started with one character but an original feature was befriending certain characters which meant different interactions when using each character (not for everything). Cute little tunes that I liked. One of the best parts was the multiple solutions... which you can sort of gleam in the blurry pics of the achievements if you're stuck. The multiple solutions do make things easier. For one playthrough, it will take about an hour, but you could easily add another to check the many other interactions you didn't see.
Fun but short game. I unlocked all the achievements pretty easily in under two hours. Good replayability, I really appreciate the fast forward button for that reason, it lets you get creative and have fun with different choices. Beautifully designed, with an interesting drag-and-drop item (card) system. Plus for Czech dubbing (well, mumbling).
Much shorter than I expected, only took about half an hour to finish, but the design is really cool. I bought it at 80% off, so I think it was totally worth it.
