Coming back to the first Samorost game and Amanita's first work, it's now dawning upon me that the first Samorost has this aesthetic of the early internet, with these low fidelity photos juxtaposed across these roughly hand-drawn and distinctly odd backgrounds. I'll still prefer their fully realized ambient and voiceless works in the future of course (really looking forward to playing Botanicula someday), but it's interesting peering back upon this as an early relic of the flash games era.

Amanita Design has expanded upon their ideas much more in the later years, but as is, this is a very distinct, strange, and yet oddly comforting and familiar point and click adventure game.
