Ever thought a simple sneeze could unleash chaos? Well, in *The Great Sneeze*, a new Android game by Studio Monstrum, it does just that. This point-and-click adventure takes the classic formula and infuses it with a whimsical storyline set in an art gallery, just before the grand opening of a Caspar David Friedrich exhibition. The plot kicks off with an epic sneeze that sends everything into disarray, turning the carefully curated exhibition into a hilarious mess.
Really? The Great Sneeze Causes Chaos?
In *The Great Sneeze*, a sneeze may seem trivial, but it's the catalyst for turning the art world upside down. Follow the adventures of three friends, Kaspar, David, and Friederike, who are tasked with fixing the chaos. Initially, they're assisting Mr. Dietzke, the curator, with final touches. But then, a sneeze triggers a domino effect: paintings shift, and the exhibition crumbles. The climax? Friedrich's iconic *Wanderer above the Sea of Fog* embarks on a journey through other artworks. The trio's mission? Chase down the wandering figure, solve ingenious puzzles, and restore order before the gallery opens its doors. It's a delightful mix of humor, absurdity, and charm in a point-and-click puzzle format. Check out the teaser below.
The Visuals Are Amazing!
