The adventure game with aliens and surreal landscapes, Samorost 2, is currently free, for Windows — 100% free to keep — in a limited-time Epic Store’s giveaway offer! Don’t miss out, as Samorost 2 normally costs US$4.99!
Samorost 2, also written as Samorost2, is an independent point-and-click adventure game focused on environmental puzzles that follows the Gnome from Samorost (2003) on a new journey through surreal landscapes, this time to rescue his kidnapped dog from thieving extraterrestrials. The game was developed by Amanita Design and initially released on December 8, 2005.
Responding to requests from fans of the dreamy visuals of the first Samorost, a small Flash game by the same studio, this sequel presents environments that combine futuristic elements with natural imagery. There is no active inventory, and all puzzles are solved by interacting directly with objects on the screen.
Published by Amanita Design and available for Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android, and Flash, Samorost 2 received generally positive reviews, praised for its visuals and streamlined gameplay, and earned several awards. In 2016, a direct sequel, Samorost 3, was released on multiple platforms.

Gameplay
Samorost 2 continues the adventures of the white-clad gnome first seen in Samorost, now on a quest to rescue his dog, who has been kidnapped by a gang of gray, eye-stalked aliens planning to use the animal as an energy source. The player interacts with the world through a simple point-and-click interface, progressing through sequential screens and solving a series of puzzles that form the game’s narrative.
Puzzle solutions mainly consist of clicking the correct elements in the right order. There is no inventory or dialogue system; completing a puzzle immediately transports the character to the next screen. Some challenges require precise timing or carrying items across multiple screens.
The game is notable for its surreal, organic environments that mix natural and technological elements, often using manipulated photographs of small objects to make them appear massive. It also features creative character designs and a unique musical atmosphere, further enhancing immersion.
Compared to the first game, Samorost 2 introduces more complex actions, allowing the player to interact with and alter the gnome’s environment in more direct ways. The worlds explored in this title focus more on exaggerated natural elements rather than the derelict machines that characterized its predecessor.
