Quoting: RejkeThank you very much!
never heard of Zak and Wiki game :) But we were a bit inspired by Nintendo games :)
We've added sleep in bed features to our to-do list! :D
As for secrets - don't worry! One is very, very well hidden....
Do you want a hint?
this is a tiny spoiler! ;)
Thanks for the hint!

I might need one of those old-fashioned Nintendo hotlines to call for help if you guys hide the secrets so well

I wishlisted this a while back and have been looking forward to try it. This does not disappoint! I played through the demo three times. For fun, and to find all the secrets. But I guess I have to try once more as I seem to be stuck on 6/8 :(

For some reason the puzzles reminds me of Zak and Wiki (the Wii game) did you take any inspiration from that or is my mind just playing tricks as usual?

Looking forward to the full version. Good luck with the release!

(Feature request: Please let me take a quick nap in the main menu bed!)

Quoting: muzzolI think all games from Amanita are linux native: Samorost, Machinarium...
I'm not sure if the old builds are still available somewhere but at least Samorost 2 got an update a couple of years ago and isn't native any longer.

Quoting: t3gI’m more surprised that some of you are playing games in 2022 with a 580. I had one years ago but graduated to a 5700 and currently on a 6900XT.

I do game on a ultrawide though so maybe that’s why I appreciate the extra power.

Quoting: LinuxerIf my memory serves correct, this game was some time ago utilized even as eSport title. Something else than just running and shooting for a change.
eSports chan be surprisingly wholesome.

Quoting: raptor85A refrigerator uses far more than that alone,
Just FIY.

I have a (10 year old) 367 litre / 80 gallon fridge measured at 18W average.

Also keep in mind that a smaller household (one or two people) will probably have an appliance half that size.

Quoting: LanzI live... again! Cultic is fantastic. It really measures up well to its obvious inspiration, Blood.
Thank you so much for mentioning Cultic, I loved Blood but somehow missed this one!

There's even a demo to try!

Quoting: slaapliedjeRandom conversation yesterday started me on the path of 'why is it called the Amazon anyway, did the conquistadors find a bunch of warrior women in the Jungle when they first traveled there?' Still don't know the answer...
You made me curious, went to to Wikipedia... and that's pretty much what happened: Spanish conquistadors were attacked by female warriors while exploring the river.
