Ever thought a sneeze could wreak havoc in an art gallery? That's exactly what happens in "The Great Sneeze," a new and intriguing point-and-click game for Android developed by Studio Monstrum. This game takes a classic gameplay formula and injects it with a storyline brimming with chaos, all triggered by a single, monumental sneeze.
Really? The Great Sneeze Causes Chaos?
It might sound far-fetched, but in "The Great Sneeze," a sneeze is the catalyst for total mayhem at an art exhibition. The scene is set just before the grand opening of a Caspar David Friedrich exhibition, where three friends, Kaspar, David, and Friederike, are tasked with the final preparations under the guidance of curator Mr. Dietzke. Suddenly, a sneeze sends everything into disarray, with paintings shifting and the exhibition falling apart. The most dramatic incident involves Friedrich's iconic "Wanderer above the Sea of Fog," which embarks on an unexpected journey through other artworks. The trio must then chase down the wandering figure, solve clever puzzles, and restore order before the exhibition opens to the public.
This game is a delightful blend of humor, absurdity, and charm, making it a must-try for fans of point-and-click adventures. Check out the teaser below to get a glimpse of the fun that awaits.
The Visuals Are Amazing!
Given that "The Great Sneeze" revolves around Friedrich's art, it serves as an excellent introduction to his work. The game's visuals successfully capture the ambiance of a real art museum while maintaining a playful tone. The puzzles are simple yet engaging, focusing on the details within Friedrich's paintings and the humorous interactions among the three protagonists.
Developed by Studio Monstrum with the support of major German museums, the game benefits from data sourced from prestigious institutions such as the Hamburger Kunsthalle, Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden, and Staatliche Museen zu Berlin. This collaboration ensures an authentic and enriching experience for players.
