Don’t miss out on Botanicula, a whimsical insect adventure from Amanita Design, and grab it for free on the Epic Games Store until April 24.

We described Botanicula in our 2012 review as “the result of Monkey Island and Terry Gilliam falling into a vegan’s blender: A stunning blend of point-and-click surrealism made from nature, discovery, and charming humor.” It is undeniably unique, funny, and heartwarming.

Overview of the Game

The game features five quirky insect-like characters whose tree home is under threat from parasitic spiders. While this sounds dire, the gameplay is upbeat and lighthearted, focusing on solving puzzles and enjoying delightful surprises throughout.

As pointed out in our review, “Getting the right answer instantly is mundane; it’s the humor in failed attempts that makes the journey amusing.”

Availability

Botanicula is available for free this week, marking its first appearance as a free title on the Epic Games Store. If you’re interested in more from the Epic freebie lineup, you can check their list for updates.
