It's $8.99 if you pre-order on GOG.com! Be still my heart. And here's John Walker's tepid review from Rock,Paper,Shotgun.  Gil.

Um, I think I'll pass on this game. It's either a HOG or a IHOG, isn't it?

I'm so looking forward to this one! The graphics look scrumptious, and the clips I've seen on Amanita's website have made me laugh out loud.

Just pre-ordered Botanicula from GOG for $8.99. It's the "Collector's Edition" with demo sound track, wallpapers, photos etc. Supposed to be available for download April 19th - can't wait! I, too, hope they release the entire soundtrack.

The Enigmatic T replied to someone in the forums about that. If I'm remembering right, he said that the entire soundtrack comes with the game if you get it from the developer. Maybe GOG has the game with a short soundtrack as part of the deal for making it DRM free? Since it's unimportant to me in comparison to the game, I'm happy with the deal from GOG. Everyone should go look at their Spring Conference Video (you can skip about half of it if you're not interested in The Witcher 2). If these guys keep this level of dedication to their standards and to gamers, all I can say is Long Live GOG! It's certainly a refreshing contrast to the news about the Worst Company in America. Gil. Love the hat, T.

Kotaku has a very funny and highly appreciative review of Botanicula My favorite quote: "Botanicula is so adorable that it can only be controlled by picking up a puppy and moving its puppy paws on your computer's trackpad." Gil.

John Walker at Rock, Paper, Shotgun says it will be out in an hour. Did he just write that?  It is so totally weird when John Walker likes something. Stop crying, Drac, it will get here. Those five little whatevers are probably having to get past one of those big fuzzy doohickies to reach us. Gil.
