It’s important to talk about how parts of the tree are interacting, and the significance of why each protagonist might work best for the problem at hand. The protagonists each offer different approaches to problems, allowing the player to experiment with how each protagonist interacts with the predicament at hand. Five hero protagonist then join together in a mission to safely deliver the seed to its proper destination.Īt this point, the game becomes an environment for children to click and solve puzzles, as well as tinker and click on objects, sometimes multiple times, and the objects will portray varying different symbiotic processes such as bees coming to pollinate flowers after clicking on tiny branches a few times causing the branches to grow a bit, then sprout into flowers. The game proceeds to the next segment where a parasite is seen killing the seeds that the tree that blooms in the opening scene, one of the seeds however falls and escapes, landing below in the micro-ecosystem of the tree’s branches. If in a one-on-one environment, like a parent or older sibling, then taking the time to point to each scene and talk about each process until a complete or near-complete understanding is reached.

This video is worth watching a few times in a row with children, and then ask them what they think is going on or what processes are happening here. In the pre-fix video to the game, there’s a scene where players witness a time-lapse graphic of a seed falling from a tree, then falls into a hole in the ground, where the seed then sprouts, and blooms into a new tree.

Botanicula is an engaging Point-and-Click game, full of beautiful graphics and whimsical soundtracks. I’ve played every game by Amanita and I’m eagerly awaiting Creaks.Botanicula offers a way to teach children 10 and older in explaining ecosystems, symbiotic relations, and the dangers of parasites. This game (and Samorost 3) are my favorite games of all time and I highly recommend them if you are looking for a great game with hours of play time. I can’t get over how well done this game is!!! It’s THAT GOOD. It took me all day to complete the game and it was so much fun the entire time. It’s so unique, imaginative, beautiful, creative, and I could go on and on. It’s unlike any game I’ve ever seen or played. It boggles my mind that those developers, whose heads popped out of the jack-in-the-box, came up with the ideas in this game. I can’t even describe in words how well this game is made. The characters are endless, each unique and with their own special sounds, are the cutest of any game I’ve played, of course, after the characters in Samorost 3 - by the same developer.
