"Great Sneeze: Classic Art Puzzle Adventure Launched"

The Great Sneeze, a new game from Studio Monstrum, injects chaos into the classic point-and-click genre with an unexpected twist: a powerful sneeze that disrupts an entire art gallery. This isn't just any sneeze; it's the catalyst for a whirlwind of fun and puzzles in an art exhibition centered around the works of Caspar David Friedrich.

Really? The Great Sneeze Causes Chaos?

Yes, a sneeze! In The Great Sneeze, this seemingly mundane action turns the art world upside down right before the grand opening of a Friedrich exhibition. The game follows three friends—Kaspar, David, and Friederike—who find themselves in charge of cleaning up the mess. One moment they're assisting the curator, Mr. Dietzke, with final touches, and the next, a sneeze sends paintings flying and the exhibition into disarray. The highlight of the chaos is Friedrich's iconic "Wanderer above the Sea of Fog," which embarks on a journey through other artworks. The trio's mission? To chase down the wandering figure, solve clever puzzles, and restore order before the exhibition opens to the public. It's a delightful blend of humor, absurdity, and charm wrapped in a point-and-click adventure.

The Visuals Are Amazing!

Set amidst the backdrop of Friedrich’s masterpieces, The Great Sneeze offers an engaging introduction to his art. The game's visuals strike a perfect balance between the ambiance of a real art museum and the playfulness of a puzzle game. The puzzles themselves are lighthearted and simple, encouraging players to delve into the details of Friedrich’s paintings while enjoying the witty banter between the three protagonists.

Developed with the support of prominent German museums like the Hamburger Kunsthalle, Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden, and Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, The Great Sneeze brings a touch of authenticity to its art-centric chaos. You can dive into this unique adventure on the Google Play Store, where it's available to play for free.
