Samorost 1 is a charming point-and-click adventure developed by Amanita Design. Originally released in 2003, this short but imaginative game follows a small gnome-like character who must save his home asteroid from a looming cosmic collision. Players explore beautifully hand-crafted environments filled with surreal landscapes, strange machinery, and quirky alien creatures. The gameplay focuses on observation and clever interaction rather than dialogue or complex controls.
There is no written text, making it accessible to players worldwide. The atmospheric soundtrack and detailed visuals create a relaxing yet mysterious experience. Though brief, the game offers creative puzzles that require logical thinking and experimentation. Its artistic style later inspired other Amanita Design titles like Machinarium. Samorost 1 remains a classic indie adventure and a memorable introduction to the studio’s unique storytelling approach.
