Quick Look: Botanicula

@Srah said:

Nice work guys. Definitely the best QL of the year (so far).

Completely agree!

This looks delightful!

this reminds me of Monty Python's Flying Circus' animated shorts.

I'm a wizard, and that shit's fucked up.

I love the look of this

I can not tell you how happy this Quick Look made me.  
 
And then I look at the comments and my good vibes went away. Thanks, Internet. 

This is a fantastic quick look. Vinny should play it with his kid in a few months and do all the voices! Basically not change a thing, just replace Patrick with his son.

I just can't stop smiling :D

I love you Vinny

Got a card for it

This game looks gorgeous! Though honestly I preferred Machinarium's art style :P

Fantastic Quick Look! The guys did great!

I'm tripping so hard while watching this and I'm completely sober.

This game looks GREAT.

I am having trouble seeing the game here, but by Christ, this looks incredible!

Watching this..I don't know whether to be horrified like Patrick or smiling away like Vinny.

So is the whole game actually a bad trip from those mushroom spores?

Shenanigans!

Can't believe nobody referenced Monty Python.

Mushrooms in Swords and Sworcery also. About as close as I've gotten to wild mushrooms for some years.

Morels are happening right now I hear, I'd actually like to try those someday.

:)

This game makes me smile so much when I play it.

I am all for this.

Could never see myself playing this, I know I would get stuck on some puzzle and it would drive me nuts, but I would love to see a mini-ER of this game.

Dear Patrick and Vinny.

Please do an endurance run of Botanicula.

(i understand that doing endurance runs are time consuming, but how long is botanicula? It seemed like you were almost done playing when the quicklook ended )

@blerete:

I would pay money to see this...oh wait I'm already paying money. Well guess what, I still would pay for it. Again.

My god. Vinnie has proper gone into kids mode. I think he has been playing with baby for so long he has lost himself.

This game is so ridiculously charming, I guess you can compare it to Rayman Origins in that it can make a smug asshole like me smile and do "oohs" and "aahs" like a baby.

But unlike Rayman Origins it also looks ridiculously boring.

Never played an adventure game?

Wow, this reminds me so much of the Swedish point-and-click games I used to play as a kid, like Pettsson & Findus and the Moomin games. They all had those weird cartoon creatures that appear and do random shit and sound funny when you click on stuff in the environment.

too weard for me

The longer this Quick Look goes the weirder it gets.

I got a card for that.

Wow, this looks absolutely amazing! I must pick up the Humble Bundle ASAP!

I adore weird quirky stuff like this!

I want it!

GOD DAMN VINNY!!!! WHY ARE U SO AMAZING. That was so entertaining, ur narration and the swiftness of which u move. ur amazing

adorable!

Everytime I hear Vinny's voice in a QL I get fond memories of the P4 and DP endurance runs. I want to hear Vinny's voice for 30+ mins everyday god damn it! If that's so wrong then I don't want to be right!

I'm getting two vibes from this:

It reminds me of Ralph Steadman if he just smoked pot instead of having bad trips on acid.

And a bit of the art work used in Monty Python.

The most glorious of quicklooks, well done.

Vinny is the best thing about Botanicula.

I'm so glad I bought this game. So much bizarre happiness. Also, this quick look was great.

Even after watching this video, I don't know what this is but I want to play it. Hope it comes to PS3

I had no interest in the current HIB, especially since I already own three of the featured games (even though I'd totally buy Windosill a third time because it's such a lovely little thing - seriously, you should play that), but... welp... There goes yet another Humble reciept into my inbox thanks to this quick look... Giant Bomb, saving trees since 2012.

This is easily the single most entertaining Quick Look this year. The quality of the game itself is most of the reason, but Vinny's pure enjoyment and Patrick's bewilderment add a lot too.

Aaaaand... shenanigans.

This is the perfect game Vinny should use to introduce his son to video games. Vinny's narration turns it into an interactive story book.

I buy a lot of the humble bundles but I forgot to get this one. Went out and bought this right after I watched!

starring the bad thing from kirby's dreamland 3 apparently

Oh my god, so f'ing adorable. I can't not get this now.
