In the world of mobile gaming, a sneeze might not seem like a big deal, but in The Great Sneeze by Studio Monstrum, it's the catalyst for an uproarious adventure. This new Android game takes the traditional point-and-click genre and injects it with a dose of chaos set in an art gallery, all thanks to an incredibly powerful sneeze.
The game is set just before the grand opening of a Caspar David Friedrich exhibition. You play as three friends—Kaspar, David, and Friederike—who are tasked with managing the final preparations under the guidance of Mr. Dietzke, the curator. But when a sneeze disrupts the serene setting, it sets off a chain reaction that sends the entire exhibition into disarray. Paintings shift, and the carefully curated space falls apart.
The highlight of this chaos is Friedrich’s iconic Wanderer above the Sea of Fog, which embarks on an unexpected journey through the other artworks. Your mission? Chase down the wandering figure, solve a series of clever puzzles, and restore the exhibition to its former glory before the doors open to the public.
The Great Sneeze is a delightful blend of humor, absurdity, and charm, making it an engaging point-and-click puzzler. Take a sneak peek at the game in action below:
Given that The Great Sneeze revolves around Friedrich’s work, it serves as an engaging introduction to his paintings. The game’s visuals excellently capture the ambiance of a real art museum while maintaining a playful tone. The puzzles are simple yet lighthearted, designed to keep players engaged by focusing on the details within Friedrich’s artworks and the humorous interactions among the three main characters.
Developed by Studio Monstrum with the support of major German museums, the game leverages data from prestigious institutions such as the Hamburger Kunsthalle, Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden, and Staatliche Museen zu Berlin. This collaboration adds a layer of authenticity and educational value to the game.
You can dive into the fun and chaos of The Great Sneeze by downloading it for free from the Google Play Store.
