Ever wondered what chaos a single sneeze could cause? In The Great Sneeze, a new Android game by Studio Monstrum, a sneeze does just that—turning an art gallery into a whirlwind of disorder. Set right 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 fixing the mess.
Really? The Great Sneeze Causes Chaos?
While a sneeze might seem trivial, in The Great Sneeze, it's the catalyst for chaos. As the trio assists Mr. Dietzke, the curator, with the final touches, a sneeze sends the exhibition into disarray. Paintings shift, and the meticulously arranged display crumbles. The highlight—or perhaps the lowlight—is when Friedrich's iconic Wanderer above the Sea of Fog embarks on an unintended tour through other artworks. The friends must then navigate through clever puzzles to chase down the wandering figure and restore order before the exhibition opens to the public.
This point-and-click adventure is both funny and absurd, yet charmingly engaging. Dive into the world of The Great Sneeze with the teaser below.
The Visuals Are Amazing!
Given that The Great Sneeze revolves around Friedrich's art, it serves as an excellent introduction to his work. The game's visuals beautifully mimic the ambiance of a real art museum while maintaining a playful tone. The puzzles are simple yet engaging, focusing on the details within Friedrich's paintings and the humorous exchanges between the protagonists.
Developed by Studio Monstrum with the backing of major German museums, the game leverages data from prestigious institutions like the Hamburger Kunsthalle, Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden, and Staatliche Museen zu Berlin. This collaboration ensures an authentic and enriching experience.
