The Epic Games Store has started giving away a free game. Yes, it's another weekly freebie, but this time you can grab a comedy adventure game Chuchel, created by Amanita Design studio, which is already known for famous games: Machinarium, Samorost and Botanicula. The gaming reward is waiting for you during the week. By the way, about the latter - we could get it for free last week. Seems like EGS decided to make us happy with the work of this interesting indie studio.

What's nice - this giveaway is available for PC users, Android users worldwide and iPhones, but only in EU countries.


What is Chuchel and why is this giveaway interesting?

Chuchel game is a point-and-click adventure where we play as a funny furry creature named Chuchel. Our hairy friend is obsessed with getting a precious cherry, which is constantly stolen by some giant hand descending from the sky. In his adventures, Chuchel will constantly face an antagonist - Kekel, who also wants to taste this berry.

The whole game is divided into 30 hilarious scenes, each of them is a funny puzzle. There are no complex dialogues here, as characters communicate through funny sounds and pantomimes, and all adventure game from the creators of Machinarium is based on visuals and freaky images of the heroes.

Ratings and reviews: what players and critics think​

Chuchel is not just another stupid freebie in Epic Games, but really a quality project that has earned good reviews from both players and publications and critics. On Metacritic, the game has a score of 81 out of 100, and on Steam the average rating is 83%.

Special style and music that will be remembered​

If you have already played Botanicula, which was given away last week, then you know that Amanita Design differs in the style of drawing and genres of games they make. In Chuchel, developers decided to go the minimalist way, as many scenes take place on a simple white background, and all attention goes to the many puzzles.

How free game Chuchel differs from Botanicula?

If you managed to add Botanicula to your library last week (the giveaway ended on April 24 GMT), then you will probably be interested in comparing two projects from the same studio.

Unlike Botanicula and Samorost, in Chuchel game the emphasis is on witty jokes, one main character and his comic adventures. Botanicula is more like a relaxing fairy tale with an ecological subtext.

Both games are unique and have their own features, but in Chuchel they are more minimalistic and cartoonish. The musical accompaniment in both puzzles was created by the Czech studio DVA, so the sound atmosphere will be somewhat similar.


Conclusion

If you like unusual indie games with a unique style and atmosphere, then Chuchel is a good option and you will enjoy it while it available for free. Add another masterpiece from the creators of Machinarium to your collection absolutely free!

Remember that the Chuchel giveaway ends on May 1, so it's better not to delay promotion and grab the game right now.
