Ever thought a sneeze could cause chaos in an art gallery? That's the premise of The Great Sneeze, a new point-and-click adventure game on Android developed by Studio Monstrum. This game takes a whimsical approach to the usual genre formula by introducing a storyline where a single, powerful sneeze disrupts an entire art exhibition.
Really? The Great Sneeze Causes Chaos?
In The Great Sneeze, what might seem like a trivial sneeze turns an art exhibition upside down. Set just before the grand opening of a Caspar David Friedrich exhibition, the game follows three friends, Kaspar, David, and Friederike, who are tasked with fixing the ensuing chaos. Initially, they're assisting Mr. Dietzke, the curator, with final preparations when a sneeze sends everything into disarray. Paintings shift, and the carefully arranged exhibition crumbles.
The most dramatic moment comes when Friedrich's iconic Wanderer above the Sea of Fog embarks on an unexpected journey through other artworks. The trio must chase down the wandering figure, solve clever puzzles, and restore the exhibition before the doors open to the public. It's a humorous, absurd, and charming point-and-click puzzler that you can preview below.
The Visuals Are Amazing!
Given that The Great Sneeze revolves around Friedrich's work, it serves as an engaging introduction to his paintings. The game's visuals successfully capture the ambiance of a real art museum while maintaining a playful tone. The puzzles are simple and lighthearted, focusing on the details within Friedrich's artworks and the humorous interactions among the three main characters.
The Great Sneeze was developed by Studio Monstrum with support from major German museums. The developers utilized data from institutions such as the Hamburger Kunsthalle, Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden, and Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, ensuring an authentic experience.
You can download The Great Sneeze for free from the Google Play Store and dive into this unique adventure.
