Ever wondered how a simple sneeze could lead to total chaos? In The Great Sneeze, a new Android game by Studio Monstrum, it's not just a possibility—it's the premise! This point-and-click adventure takes you on a wild ride through an art gallery just before the grand opening of a Caspar David Friedrich exhibition. The game introduces us to three friends, Kaspar, David, and Friederike, who are tasked with the monumental job of fixing the chaos caused by an incredibly powerful sneeze.
Imagine this: one moment, you're assisting Mr. Dietzke, the curator, with the final touches. The next, a sneeze sends everything into disarray. Paintings are knocked out of place, and the carefully curated exhibition becomes a jumbled mess. The crowning disaster? Friedrich's iconic Wanderer above the Sea of Fog embarks on an unexpected tour through the gallery. Your mission? Chase down the wandering figure, solve a series of clever puzzles, and restore the exhibition to its former glory before the doors swing open to the public.
This game isn’t just about fixing a mess; it's a delightful blend of humor, absurdity, and charm. The puzzles are lighthearted yet engaging, urging players to pay close attention to the details within Friedrich’s paintings. The interactions between Kaspar, David, and Friederike add a playful touch to the experience, making it a joy to navigate through the chaos.
Visually, The Great Sneeze is a treat. The game brilliantly captures the essence of an art museum, paying homage to Friedrich's work while maintaining a playful atmosphere. Developed with the support of major German museums such as the Hamburger Kunsthalle, Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden, and Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, the game offers an engaging introduction to Friedrich's art.
