Samorost 1 for Mac

Free point-and-click adventure game

Samorost 1 is a free point-and-click adventure game by Amanita Design. Here, players will control a space gnome as it interacts with its surroundings. The goal of the game is to solve a series of puzzles and brain teasers, which are sequentially linked to form an adventure story.

Samorost 1 is a remaster of the original title released in 2003 and will take players back to the beginning of the Samorost series. Only now, it comes with a remastered sound, enhanced graphics, and new music by Floex.  Although, as the changes are mostly visuals, the gameplay will still be short. 

What is Samorost 1?

Samorost is a puzzle adventure game released in 2003. It comes with simple gameplay, where players interact with the world using a point-and-click interface. It stars a small, white-clad humanoid (gnome) with a little cap and brown boots. The first game gained popularity leading to the development and release of two sequels, Samorost 2 in 2005 and Samorost 3 in 2016. Android and iOS ports were also released.

Samorost 1 is only a remaster of the first Samorost and features the original bite-sized adventure of the gnome. The goal of the game is still the same. Players will still need to solve puzzles and brain teasers to form the adventure story. Solving the puzzles mainly consists of clicking on-screen elements in the correct order. Once done, the game will transport you to the next screen.

What the app brings to the game are newer and better visuals. The graphics are enhanced, making the planet where the gnome landed look more vivid. The sounds are also remastered and even features new music. However, there are no improvements in the gameplay. The game is still short and lacks helpful features, such as a reset button. Although enhanced, the graphics are still not on par with new games. 

Is the game good?

If you are a fan of the original Samorost, then Samorost 1 will be right up your alley. The game takes you back to the classic clicker game but with a new and better look and even a new soundtrack. However, the developers did not make any changes to the gameplay. It is still short and consists mainly of clicking around. Nevertheless, it brings a warm sense of nostalgia.
