Amanita Design, a Czech indie developer, is well-known for their various point-and-click adventure games that incorporate a unique and immersive art style, quirky characters and puzzles, and strongly atmospheric music.

It has long been a staple of my various relaxing VGM playlists.

Have a great day!
