early games of Amanita Design

what is it

Amanita Design is a Czech indie game developer studio. Their signature style is wordless storytelling, absurd details, melancholy humor, and worlds that feel discovered rather than explained; natural and artificial at the same time.

why it inspires me

For me, the atmosphere they create with visuals and sounds (notably without any words) provokes awe and fascination with the world around. They design and put you into an environment in which you are organically forced to experience certain feelings, and I believe they do this very successfully. Not only do I respect the mastery of feeling design itself, but I also deeply value these θαυμάζω! moments, which are the main driving force behind my life in general.
