Really? The Great Sneeze Causes Chaos?
Imagine a sneeze powerful enough to send an art exhibition into disarray. That's the premise behind The Great Sneeze, a whimsical new Android game developed by Studio Monstrum. 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 tasked with rectifying a chaotic situation. Initially, they're helping Mr. Dietzke, the curator, with final preparations. However, a sudden sneeze sets off a chain reaction, causing paintings to shift and the exhibition to crumble.
The most dramatic casualty is Friedrich's iconic Wanderer above the Sea of Fog, which embarks on an unexpected tour through other artworks. The trio must then chase down this wandering figure, tackle a series of clever puzzles, and restore order to the exhibition before its official opening. This game blends humor, absurdity, and charm into a delightful point-and-click adventure. Curious? Take a peek below.
The Visuals Are Amazing!
Given that The Great Sneeze revolves around Friedrich's masterpieces, it serves as a captivating introduction to his art. The game's visuals beautifully emulate the ambiance of a real art museum while maintaining a playful tone. The puzzles within the game are simple yet engaging, requiring players to pay close attention to the details within Friedrich's paintings and enjoy the humorous exchanges between Kaspar, David, and Friederike.
The Great Sneeze has been crafted by Studio Monstrum with assistance from major German museums, drawing on resources from esteemed institutions such as the Hamburger Kunsthalle, Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden, and Staatliche Museen zu Berlin.
