Cyberpunk 2077's parent-company owned GOG is doing us a solid once again, this time by giving away a point-and-click adventure game for free. That’s right, totally free. Oozing with charm in a way many games attempt to emulate but never quite capture, this is one of those deals you shouldn’t miss out on.
What is this stunning adventure game, I hear you ask? It’s Samorost 1, a “short cosmic adventure” you’ll be mesmerised by, thanks to its unique aesthetic and intriguing soundtrack. It was originally released in 2003, but was remastered and re-released in 2021, giving this beloved cult classic a much-needed refresh for contemporary audiences. Despite that remaster, though, the game hasn’t lost any of its original whimsy.

This isn’t the first time GOG has been so good to gamers; its summer sales are renowned for delivering “ludicrous savings”. What is more, the Cyberpunk 2077 publisher parent-company owned site keeps us busy with heavily price-dropped and/or free games all year round, resulting in it being praised for being a goldmine of entertainment.
Samorost 1, while not as impactful as AAA games, still left such an impression upon gamers that two more titles were released, creating a gnome-filled trilogy that sees you traversing woodland-inspired locations. But, like with any epic adventuring saga, there’s no point starting anywhere else save the beginning; GOG understands this, and now you will too. When a game is free, is there any reason not to download it?
“Samorost 1 is a very short, but a pretty unique adventure game. The puzzles aren't difficult, but their solutions aren't always obvious and even after playing the game a few times I wasn't immediately sure how to solve some of them,” said one fan. Another also posted, saying, “It's awesome, super cute, funny, short-lived and since it’s free there's no reason not to try it. Most refreshing gaming experience I had in years, honestly.”
