We described Botanicula in our 2012 review as "the result of Monkey Island and Terry Gilliam falling into a vegan's blender: A gorgeous-looking mix of point-and-clicking surrealism, whipped together out of nature, discovery and adorable humour." And yup, that about nails it: It's weird, funny, heartwarming, and—this is why we're talking about it right now—free for the week on the Epic Games Store... Read more.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/3496875/20dd9ed7ce41b1d9963786909cbd53508f8e92be.png The Independent Games Festival has been around for over 20 years and now, for the first time ever, comes a Steam event dedicated not only to this year’s IGF winners and nominees but also to some of the greatest indie games that succeeded at the festival in the years before. Until 20 July, you can grab dozens of awesome games at a discount and even try a few demos, such as the beautifully stylish Nirvana Noir by Feral Cat Den or 11bit’s latest title, The Alters. Botanicula was awarded for 'Excellence in Audio' back in 2012.

A few months ago, our beloved duo DVA recorded a very special at-the-campfire performance of some of your favorite Botanicula tunes. You may have seen the concert during this year's edition of Save & Sound festival here on Steam, but in case you missed it, you can finally watch it in its entirety on YouTube. And it's never a bad idea to play it again... Enjoy and juchu! ːmrfeatherː ːmrlanternː ːmrpoppyheadː ːmrsmushroomː ːmrtwigː

It’s been a while since we posted something in the Botanicula news channel, so I’m really glad to be back with some good news. Yes, 7 years after its initial release in 2012, Botanicula is finally getting a full-screen HD treatment, which basically means it’s going to look much better on your recent high-resolution displays, even if it’s a nice and shiny 4K monitor. It even takes up less space on your hard drive, juchu! The game still runs in the same engine, so you don
