Samorost 1 cover4/25/2023 ![]() It can also mean in Czech (and other Slavic languages) "something that grows by itself"- "Sam" means "one's self" and "Rost" is the root for "To grow". Phenomenally beautiful, exquisitely animated, and constantly delightful and joyous, this is a lovely thing. Samorost in Czech means a root or piece of wood which resembles a creature but it is also a term for a person who doesn't care about the rest of the world. Samorost is where it all began for Amanita Design, and this return to the series, following their huge raise in reputation and awareness with Machinarium and Botanicula, is a stunning labour of love. Now, when still another newbie comes in proclaiming this great little game they've just discovered, we can point to our calendar saying, not only do we KNOW about Samarost, we celebrate it monthly on the 18th. So some forum regular, can't remember who, unfortunately, got the brilliant idea to inaugurate Samarost Day. Sometimes we would play dumb, and sometimes we would openly attack the newbies, saying of course we knew about it. And I do mean everyone! Newbies came in here all the time asking has anyone here played this great game - not just occasionally, but so often that the regulars would groan. Once upon a time there was this neat little browser game made by Amanita, that everyone liked. Originally started as a joke, it has become a never ending running gag. The 18th day of each month is Samorost Day on the popular forum. The game was created by Jakub Dvorsky in 2003, while he still was a student at the Academy of Arts, Architecture, and Design - Department of Graphic Design and Visual Communication in Prague. Samorost appears in the book 1001 Video Games You Must Play Before You Die by General Editor Tony Mott.
