Amanita said the game “doesn’t rely as much on complicated puzzles as it does on the main character, humor, animation, and sounds.” That’s part of the reason that the studio went with such a bright, pared-down art style for Chuchel - the idea is for you to focus on Chuchel and the creatures around him, rather than getting lost in detailed backgrounds. “Connecting these features gives you the perfect Chuchel.” Amanita DesignĬhuchel’s chase for his beloved cherry is the main thrust of the game, and although it plays out in point-and-click fashion, players probably won’t spend much time hunting for pixels. “While Jaromir can be a bit annoying, the dog is always nice and naive,” said Amanita.
The studio also cited another source of inspiration: Jaromir Plachy, who is handling design, art and animation on Chuchel, and his dog, Anca. “Chuchel was inspired by an archetype known from comedy movies - he gets angry very easily, acts silly all the time and it’s fun to watch him do pretty much anything,” Amanita told Polygon in an email interview. Much of the game’s humor comes from Chuchel’s demeanor and personality, which you might compare to the attitude of a small child who’s consumed way too much sugar. While the adorable robot at the center of Machinarium made you want to root for him, none of Amanita’s games have focused on a character as much as Chuchel does. And he happens to be obsessed with a cherry that’s almost as big as he is - a cherry that Chuchel’s villain keeps stealing from the poor little guy.
The title refers to the main character, a literal black fuzzball of energy with orange lips and an orange tuque in the shape of a Hershey’s Kiss.
CHUCHEL 2 TRAILER HOW TO
Amanita Designįirst things first: Chuchel is a Czech word for a “ball of hair and dust,” Amanita told Polygon, and in case you’re wondering how to pronounce it properly, it’s something like KHOO-khel. Comedy, says Amanita, is what Chuchel is all about. Although it’s still an adventure game, it has a look, tone and design that has little in common with the studio’s previous work.
CHUCHEL 2 TRAILER SERIES
The Czech indie studio is renowned for gorgeous, intricately detailed titles like Machinarium, the Samorost series and Botanicula, the first two of which focus on brain-melting puzzles.īut Amanita is going in a different direction with its next project, Chuchel. From the classic point-and-click titles of yesteryear to the modern dialogue-driven experiences made by Telltale Games, adventure games have been making people laugh more consistently than any other genre.Īmanita Design has built a name for itself making traditional point-and-click adventure games - but not the kinds of ones that make you laugh.
Happy adventuring to you.If comedy has any true home in video games, it’s in graphic adventure games. There's a new demo available there on Steam at the moment as well. You can find Happy Game over on Steam where it will launch later this year. Then again, Happy Game feels just like the right game to accompany you during the rainy days of grey autumn, and we hope you won’t mind the extra waiting too much." "Unfortunately, we were unable to make it happen in spring as we initially announced, but in order to deliver the best possible Happy Game, we’re going to need these extra few months to add some more blood and fine-tune the screeches. Happy Game was originally announced for release this spring, but Amanita have made a delay announcement alongside the new trailer. Lots of messed up stuff in there, but for my money the angler fish like smiley monster is probably the worst, luring you in to its grabby hands and bloody mouth with the promise of a cuddly stuffed bunny.
It sure is a sickly-sweet color palette for bloody smily faces and guillotines.
