![]() And the characters? Every last one a childlike delight - especially that Starbelly. ![]() Fitting, as the illustrator, Lisa Evans, *is* a children’s book illustrator! The hand-drawn environments were beyond magical, I felt like I could pull a swathe of moss up like a blanket and fall asleep in this ethereal world. Let’s talk about those aesthetics, as that’s probably what drew you to Growbot in the first place (I know that’s what sold me!) - they’re so enchantingly cozy, I felt like I was playing a children’s book the entire time. Determined to get to the bottom of things for the greater good, Nara goes in search of her friends, captain, and a way to communicate with Chrissy to determine why she’s suddenly seeking devastation. It would seem that Chrissy, the original growbot, has returned from parts unknown, causing problems for the station and its inhabitants. Everything was normal until, out of nowhere, the whole station began to shake, causing a station-wide blackout. ![]() Growbot has players taking on the role of Nara, a wee little growbot who has just moved to one of the space stations that protects their home planet so that she may begin her captaincy training. Although it’s a 2 – 3 hour experience at most, Growbot will delight anyone who feels called to this verdant world, richer for the experience. ![]() I’m a simple woman - I see anything that remotely looks like Machinarium, I’m an immediate fan.Īnd Growbot looks an awful lot like a saccharine sweet Machinarium.ĭeveloped by Wabisabi Play and published by Application Systems Heidelberg, Growbot is “an adventure about a robot saving her home from a dark crystalline force.”With an inventive biopunk space station setting filled to the brim with interesting plants, animals, aliens, and robots, Growbot captivates with its adorable charm and beautifully illustrated characters and scenes.
