Osada is an "interactive music video" from the creators of Machinarium.

I'm not much of a gamer but Machinarium was totally perfect and one of the very few games I actually played all the way through. This certainly is not a game but incredible fun nonetheless and incredibly clever use of loops.

awesome.

I actually found this to be more of a game than I was expecting. There were a couple parts where it was frustratingly opaque what I was supposed to do next (which I've found to be a fault in their games as well, even though I love them otherwise). And I was kind of bummed that there's no conclusion (it just loops back to the start). Some lovely characters though— I especially loved the belching indian animation in one of the early scenes.

I actually liked that. When you first play the game the musicians are just these mysterious guys around the campfire, but the second time through you have some impressions of them from the rest of the game. Subtle and awesome.

At the risk of being "that guy"...a bunch of Native Americans sitting around getting drunk? Really?

Yeah not the most politically correct game out there. But hey, they're European, right?

otherwise very fantastic. the shivering face was my favorite.

This made me feel...off. Hope I don't have any weird dreams tonight...

It reminded me of Little Big Planet.
