Questionaut is a new point and click adventure by the developers of Machinarium and the Samorost series. True to it's name, players can expect to be quizzed on matters such as physics, mathematics and even general knowledge. The game consists of eight short stages in total. (BBC link)

This is as great as we'd expect it to be, coming from Amanita Design. What I really want is a "How-to" on their graphics style. It obviously consists of photo snippets, hand-drawn pictures with black outlines and computer-drawn shapes without outlines, and still it has such a consistent look!

I wonder if this really qualifies as a good educational game. It seemed that most questions could more or less easily be answered by kids, but then again other questions seemed to be quite a bit more difficult.
The puzzles were also pretty simple, which is to be expected, of course. I only didn't quite know what was to be done in stage 6. I managed it, but I couldn't figure it out :)

But well, even if this is aimed towards kids, the presentation is of course great none the less. Sweet drawings, catchy music and some nicely charming little characters :)

THIS IS SO AWESOME! I love every bit of it! The characters were so charming!

Magnificent job guys!

Yes, a brilliant game with stunning artwork, though I must admit both the questions and the adventure bits were a tad on the easy side. Still, great idea!

Wow, really well done, love the presentation. I'm wondering if these questions are too easy for the 10-11 year olds it's aimed at though :/

Don't like how they try to give straight answers to non-trivial questions.

Also, the words ending with "f" don't always have "ves" at the end in plural... Right?

But yes, the visual design is charming and I liked to play it.

great game, once again. I just love the look of the game, music too.
