If you do get stuck there is a hint book which is delightful.

The game has many puzzles to solve but none are so hard as to leave you struggling for hours or so easy that you wonder why they are there. It starts with the space gnome discovering a flute outside of his home and then setting off to a mixture of planets, moons and asteroids to learn about the flute’s origin and ultimately setting right many wrongs caused by one power crazy individual with a robotic three-headed dragon. The story is told beautifully through the expressions of the characters, soundtrack and delightful book that the gnome finds. Not least of all because stickman figures are my limit! It certainly made me appreciate the imagination and creation of the game so much more.

I was incredibly fortunate to be given the Cosmic Edition of Samorost 3 which is available on Steam and this includes a 170-page digital artbook which shows the developmental drawings of planets, landscapes and characters. The scenes are detailed with delightful characters, my favourite having to be the giant anteater-like creature of the final world. The graphics of Samorost 3 are beautiful. Who wouldn’t be delighted by a space gnome with a dog who travels alien worlds in a spaceship with a magical flute?! It is a game that from its description alone promises so very much and then delivers everything I could have wanted. I realise that I’m a little behind the times with this game having been released in 2016 but with their more recent release of Creaks (which I shall be playing next) I was drawn into Samorost. I thought I’d do a post about the point and click puzzle adventure game, Samorost 3, by Amanita Design.
