The Great Sneeze: A Hilarious Art Gallery Adventure
Ever wondered how a simple sneeze could wreak havoc in an art gallery? Well, The Great Sneeze, the latest Android game from Studio Monstrum, explores this very scenario. Set just before the grand opening of a Caspar David Friedrich exhibition, the game introduces us to three friends—Kaspar, David, and Friederike—who find themselves in charge of rectifying a chaotic situation.
What starts as a routine day of final preparations with Mr. Dietzke, the curator, quickly spirals out of control due to an unexpectedly powerful sneeze. This sneeze causes paintings to shift and the entire exhibition to fall into disarray. The most dramatic casualty? Friedrich's iconic Wanderer above the Sea of Fog, which embarks on an unintended journey through other artworks.
The trio's mission is to chase down the wandering figure, solve a series of clever puzzles, and restore order to the exhibition before its official opening. The Great Sneeze combines humor, absurdity, and charm, making it a delightful point-and-click adventure. Check out the teaser below to get a glimpse of the fun.
The Visuals: A Tribute to Friedrich
Given that the game revolves around Friedrich's art, it serves as an excellent introduction to his work. The visuals successfully capture the ambiance of a real art museum while maintaining a playful tone. The puzzles in The Great Sneeze are simple yet engaging, requiring players to pay close attention to the details within Friedrich’s paintings and enjoy the humorous dynamics among the main characters.
Developed by Studio Monstrum with support from prominent German museums, including the Hamburger Kunsthalle, Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden, and Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, the game ensures authenticity and depth. If you're intrigued, you can dive into the adventure yourself by downloading The Great Sneeze for free on the Google Play Store.
