Creaks is Samorost Dev's Next Game
Hello!
I am excited to announce that our next game 'Creaks' is coming to Steam next year!

Creaks is being developed by one of Amanita’s new teams, headed by Czech designer and artist Radim Jurda. The music (for both the teaser and the game) was done by Scottish composer and multi-instrumentalist Joe Acheson aka Hidden Orchestra.
Follow Creaks on Steam so you don't miss any of the upcoming details!
Guess what - Amanita Design's official Discord server grand opening is... today!🎈
Come and chat with fellow mushroom pickers, get the latest news, TOP SECRET sneak peeks and speculate about 'Machinarium 2'! (even though we're not working on it)

Amanita Design Open Up in #DevQuest
Learn a thing or two about the developers of Samorost 3 in the first episode of #DevQuest hosted by our friend Adriaan de Jongh!
#DevQuest is a brilliantly crafted documentary series highlighting indie developers from all over the world. We're super delighted to be a part of this and we highly recommend you to watch the other episodes starring Compulsion Games, KO_OP Mode or Night School Studio!
...there's also a tiny sneak peek at one of our upcoming games :samorost_mouse:
CHUCHEL, the new game from the creators of Machinarium, Botanicula and Samorost, is now available on Steam for Windows PC and Mac!
Just like any Amanita game before, CHUCHEL immediately strikes you with its distinctive visual style and sheer playfulness, however, CHUCHEL is not a game of complex backgrounds and extraordinarily complicated puzzles – this time it is all about humor, laughs and cherries.
Why cherries? Because that’s what Chuchel, the game’s eponymous hairy hero, craves the most. In order to reclaim the precious red fruit, he needs the players’ help to overcome various challenges ranging from logical puzzles to robot battles to escaping swarms of berserk Pac-Men. Each level is built upon Jaromir Plachy’s trademark style of animation and fittingly witty music from the IGF Award winning Czech band Dva. With dozens of hilarious gags, bizarre characters and a heart-warming little story, CHUCHEL has all the resources to cheer you up!

Have fun!

Listen to 'Young Chuchels' by DVA!
DVA - Young Chuchels
Cherries on Air (CHUCHEL Soundtrack)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkWvZ6Bpx7M
From the band who charmed the world the fantastic Botanicula soundtrack comes another album full of catchy melodies and bold rhythms. Young Chuchels is a banging track heavily influenced by hip-hop - a genre you wouldn't expect from an Amanita Design production. We've been banging our heads to this for 3 days straight.
'Cherries on Air' with 44 minutes of original music by DVA will be available on Steam from March 7th as downloadable content along with a digital art book and a special CHUCHEL Sans font!

'What is Chuchel?' Explained!
It's time to answer one of the deepest questions of all time - what the actual heck is Chuchel?!
Czech & Weird
You guys already know we like to give our games some odd names and sometimes we even mix in a bit of Czech, our native language. For example 'Samorost' is a beautiful word for an object or a person that was formed entirely by the effects of natural influences. Such as this wooden animal.
Chuchel is also a word coming from the Czech language. We use it to describe a 'ball of hair and dust'. You know, that soft kind of mess which appears in your house when you don't clean it properly. The less cleaning you do, the more chuchels you've got - that's how it works. This thing below is a prime example of chuchel found at Jakub Dvorsky's household. Magnificent, isn't it?
By the way, Kekel, Chuchel's pet buddy/rival, also got his name from a Czech word for 'something terribly disgusting'. Seriously.
There's even a village called Chuchel. Rumors say it's got the highest consumption of cherries per capita in the entire world. Interesting. Reportedly it only has about 50 inhabitants, which seems appropriate for such a sacred place. Pilgrimage, anyone?
Quick maths!
Anyway, our Chuchel is by no means disgusting. He's rather cute, cheerful, although a tad bit annoying and simple. His strong personality has two sources of inspiration - one of them is Jaromir Plachy, the creator of Chuchel himself, the other would be Jaromir's dog Anca. While Jaromir sees himself as a slightly bothersome person (only sometimes), Anca is an incredibly nice and naive being. Combine these two personalities and you'll get the most fabulous Chuchel out there.
Get ready to experience Chuchel's hilarious tantrums on your own - the game arrives to Windows PC & Mac on March 7!!
Add it to your wishlist now and get notified as soon as it's available :mrfeather:
