Just Adventure has posted a new review of Amanita Design's point-and-click adventure, Botanicula. The game focuses on five unique characters on a mission to save the last seed of their home tree from infestation by evil parasites. To succeed players will have to rely on each of the five character's skills as they travel through the game's more than 150 locations.

From the review:

Throughout your exploration, you’ll interact with other creatures that live on the tree. Most of the time, the only purpose to interact with these creatures is to collect their ‘cards’. The card system is like a scoring system for the game, although I didn’t realize that until I had completed the journey. To collect the cards, you’ll often have to click on multiple creatures on the same screen. Sometimes you’ll click in a certain order. Other times you’ll click in a certain time frame. It’s often unclear. For example, when you click on one creature, it starts singing. The singing draws some more similar creatures, which you also have to click on. They join in on the song; bringing more creatures. Eventually you’ll receive a creature card from this interaction, as long as you can get all creatures singing at once.
