Studio Behind Machinarium Launches Experimental Music Video


Machinarium developer Amanita Design's strange interactive music video Osada is now available for your point-and-click pleasure.

drop $2 to download an offline version. [http://amanita-design.net/]

Osada is essentially a series of music tracks that can be toyed with by clicking on the odd visual cues that take place. It's by no means a challenging experience, but Osada feels more like a point-and-click game as opposed to a video.

I'm not quite sure I understand what in the world was happening while I was playing other than the fact that I was clicking on things and in turn the music changed. I guess that makes sense since the game designer at Amanita, Jakub Dvorsky, described it the music accompanying the experience as "Czech psychedelic country." If you want to see one of the projects Amanita has been working on [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/108777-Machinarium-Dev-Keeps-Art-Games-Flowing-With-Three-New-Titles] since Machinarium, Osada is certainly worth glancing at.

Err yeah...

Reminds of those weird Russian cartoons I used to watch as a kid that made little sense.

There's some great stuff here, but I just have the guys in sombreros from the first bit playing over and over. Left the one 2nd from the left turned off, but other than that.

This is even weirder than early 90's adventure games.

It's amazing how it still has the Amanita Design style (in fact, the MTV style and lack of storyline almost make it work better).

Amanita never cease to make me smile.
Their visuals in this and the Samorost series remind me of the cartoon visuals in Monty Python.
