I've seen this precisely one month ago. Note, however, that the machine still seems to require one human operator.

What's this Samorost you speak of?

Surely, you are not speaking about this hotel in Czechoslovakia! I thought it was a secret gem known to a select few...

Today's event: "Samorost Day".

Apparently, the mods warn you not to ask what it's about. I didn't listen, though; although whether or not Jat gave me the correct definition is questionable.
