From Amanita Design, the developers responsible for the delightfully picturesque Samorost games, comes a brief peek at their upcoming adventure game, Machinarium.
Due sometime during the first half of 2009, the game stars a robot tasked with defending his town from the Black Cap Brotherhood, while rescuing his significant other. The video (and the screenshots we’ve seen before) don’t really reveal much, but the puzzles seem quirky, and the run-down locales look fantastic.
I’m a huge fan of pixel-hunt adventures, having been weaned on titles like Woodruff and the Schnibble, from Sierra’s glory days. Be sure to check out the rest of Amanita’s games, if this video tickles your fancy.
