the download should start immediately (no german is required for demo).

Its from the maker of Samorost 1 and 2. In other words its awesome. I already played around with it and its highly recommended. awesome art, nice atmosphere. very gobliinesque.

you can also preorder the game from the official website for a mere 11€ or so (i already did :9~ ):

Thanks! I've just finished it, wonderful and as cute as I expected. ;)

Is the game going to be without any texts/dialogues? It isn't stated anything and I want to preorder it but I don't know German (in case that's the language)

i think there is no real dialogue. judging from the conversations in the demo conversations are made up of short little speech bubbles in which characters or actions are presented as a comic) so no. no language is needed at all i believe for this game (no english, no german, no whatever)

download the demo and see for yourself. i think you'll like it

Thanks tastebud. I already played the demo and as I imagined it's great. Let's hope no dialogues will appear since I just ordered it :)

The demo was short but the game seems great. Although it really bugs me that you can't choose the resolution. It isn't anywhere near fullscreen on my monitor.

Does the demo look like it's from the very beginning of the game? I had already preordered it anyway, so I don't really want to spoil the experience otherwise.

And yeah, I'm pretty sure all the previews I had read (at least three, including AG's) stated there would be no dialogues.

I liked it, the robot is very cute :D
Its easy to see some similarities with Samorost, particularly in some puzzles and in the melancholic mood.

Really enjoyed the demo, Machinarium is definitly a buy.

At least it looks like it starts from the beginning. :)

Yesterday I forgot to look at the walkthrough that comes with the demo (next to the hint symbol). Love it! And they make you work for it too, shooting spiders first. :D

It does look very cool. Kinda reminds me of that claymation game's puzzles.

Update: No DRM! Demo was awesome.
