Really? The Great Sneeze Causes Chaos?
Imagine a sneeze so powerful it can turn an entire art exhibition into a whirlwind of chaos. That's the premise behind The Great Sneeze, a new point-and-click adventure game by Studio Monstrum, available on Android. Set just before the grand opening of a Caspar David Friedrich exhibition, the game follows three friends—Kaspar, David, and Friederike—as they navigate the aftermath of this unexpected event.
Initially, the trio is helping Mr. Dietzke, the curator, with the final preparations. But then, a sneeze sends everything into disarray. Paintings shift, and the meticulously arranged exhibition crumbles. The most dramatic casualty is Friedrich's iconic Wanderer above the Sea of Fog, which embarks on an unintended journey through the gallery. The friends must chase down the wandering figure, solve clever puzzles, and restore order before the doors open to the public.
This game blends humor, absurdity, and charm into a delightful point-and-click experience. For a glimpse into the chaos, check out the teaser below.
The Visuals Are Amazing!
Given that The Great Sneeze revolves around Friedrich's art, it serves as an engaging introduction to his work. The game's visuals successfully capture the essence of a real art museum while maintaining a playful atmosphere. 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 support from prominent German museums, the game leverages data from institutions like the Hamburger Kunsthalle, Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden, and Staatliche Museen zu Berlin. This collaboration ensures an authentic and enriching experience.
You can download The Great Sneeze for free from the Google Play Store and dive into this whimsical adventure.
