I don’t remember learning modules being this good when I was a munchkin: Samorost creators Amanita have put together a lovely game for the BBC, designed for 11 year olds. Questionaut is point and click, very pretty, and is tripping up adults left and right (that’s what happens when you get far removed from your junior high school years and the concepts contained within, I guess). It’s short and worth taking for a spin for the lovely environment alone, even if finding 20% of 140 is a bit below your intellectual level.

Ah, Samorost. So beautiful! So woefully underappreciated by the gaming public at large. Maybe machinarium, the Samorost team’s latest outing, will fare better. It’s a “full-scale” adventure game for the PC, and should be out later this year. More info is coming “sooner or later”, so for now, pass the day away gazing at these gorgeous screenshots.
