Phonopolis Demo - Now Available on Steam!

Feb 11

Hello everyone,

We are excited to announce that a playable demo of Phonopolis is now available on Steam!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/4109130/Phonopolis_Demo/

This demo will give you a taste of 5 scenes that take place shortly after the game's introduction. You'll ease in with an exploration sequence of the Workers' Quarter and then move through a selection of various levels.

"Protected by his headphones, Felix, the game's protagonist, has broken free from the loudspeakers’ control and finds himself in the streets of the cardboard city of Phonopolis. Explore the Workers’ Quarter with him and tune in to a story about a city ruled by the Leader’s commands."

We're very much looking forward to hearing your precious feedback, so please share your thoughts with us wherever you prefer! We'll be keeping an eye on the forums, reviews on the demo page, social media and all the associated community blogposts here on Steam.

Where can I play?

Windows, macOS and Steam Deck are all supported.

Can I use a gamepad?

The game is now fully playable using a mouse (or touchpad), Xbox/PlayStation controllers, as well as Steam Deck.

What languages are supported?

The demo only includes English and Czech texts, with English voiceover. Subtitles and interface in the full game will be localized into many more languages including French, Spanish, Arabic, Turkish, Ukrainian, Japanese or Chinese. Please refer to the game's main store page for the full list.

Will my progress carry over to the full game?

Since the demo doesn't start where the full game will, your progress will not carry over.

Enjoy!

Machinarium - Technical Update

Dec 16, 2025

Machinarium for Windows has just been updated to version 5706-A. This update includes:

Default renderer switched to OpenGL: We found it performs better and runs faster than the DirectX 12 renderer we introduced earlier this year, both on Windows PCs and on Steam Deck.
Several audio fixes, including removing crackles and improving volume balance.

If you prefer to run the DirectX 12 version, or even the older DirectX 9 version, you can easily select it at launch!

Machinarium - Technical Update (DirectX 12)

Mar 25, 2025

Hi everyone!

We’re pleased to announce that the Windows version of Machinarium has just received a technical update on Steam:

DirectX 12 support – This helps ensure compatibility with current and future devices.
Engine optimizations
Updated mouse controls - The game now behaves as expected when you switch the function of Left and Right mouse buttons in Windows; cursor speed matches your settings in Windows

Compatibility

In case of the unlikely event that you can’t run the new DirectX 12 version, don’t worry! An older DirectX 9 executable is also part of this installation. You'll be asked which of the versions should be used when you launch the game on Steam.

Gamepad Support

At this time, the game should work fine with PlayStation, Xbox, and generic controllers. If you experience any issues with gamepad controls, please ensure that Steam Input is disabled for this game.

Thank you for your continued support!

Machinarium Turns 15 Years Old

Oct 16, 2024

Machinarium, our first full-length game originally released in 2009, turns 15 years old today!

The success of Machinarium has allowed us to remain a fully independent studio, continue making games we love, and even grow a little to have more teams working on multiple projects at once. Nowadays, we are developing four games, including the cardboard-built Phonopolis, and we look forward to sharing more with you when the time is right!

If you’ve been thinking of picking up something Amanita, now might be the perfect time. Our early Christmas merch sale[merch.amanita-design.net] starts today and runs until November 6 to make sure all gifts are delivered in time, wherever you are. The sale, of course, includes the adorable Josef and Berta plushies or the Machinarium soundtrack by Tomáš Dvořák (aka Floex) on vinyl ːjosefːːmuchomurkaːːbertaː

We are forever grateful for the support you've shown us over the many years.

Thank you!

Machinarium Joins The First Ever IGF Celebration Days on Steam

Jul 11, 2024

The Independent Games Festival has been around for over 20 years and now, for the first time ever, comes a Steam event dedicated not only to this year’s IGF winners and nominees but also to some of the greatest indie games that succeeded at the festival in the years before. Until 20 July, you can grab dozens of awesome games at a discount and even try a few demos, such as the beautifully stylish Nirvana Noir by Feral Cat Den or 11bit’s latest title, The Alters. Machinarium was awarded for 'Excellence in Visual Art' back in 2009.

You'll find it all on the special sale page: https://store.steampowered.com/sale/IGF_CelebrationDays

We’ve been lucky to succeed at IGF five times with Samorost 2, Machinarium, Botanicula, CHUCHEL, and most recently, Phonopolis. Of course - with the obvious exception of Phonopolis that we're currently working on - all of these games and their DLCs are also on sale with up to 85% discount!

Enjoy the event and have a great summer,

Phonopolis - a new adventure from Amanita Design!

May 19, 2022

We’re excited to introduce Phonopolis - a new hand-crafted adventure set in a dystopian city made of cardboard where everybody obeys the oppressive Leader's orders - except for one young man… Enjoy the first teaser trailer! It’s still going to take us a generous amount of time to finish the game - please don’t expect it to come out within the next 12 months - but we’re so glad to finally be able to share the first bits and pieces with you.

You can now add Phonopolis to your Steam wishlist. You'll also find a collection of new screenshots on its Steam page; and on its News hub, there's a post where you can read more about the game's story, inspirations, and creative process. And it's also the place where we'll be sharing further updates ːsamorost_spiritː

Happy Game from Amanita Design is OUT NOW!

Oct 29, 2021

The latest Amanita Design game has just landed on Steam!

It’s Happy Game, our darkest, creepiest, and most twisted adventure so far, coming from the team behind Botanicula and CHUCHEL.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1206060/Happy_Game/

Happy Game is an absurd horror adventure game designed by Jaromír Plachý, who previously brought you the family-friendly games Botanicula and CHUCHEL. This time, however, Jaromír decided to make something a little less cheerful, and the result of his team’s work is a psychedelic journey through a little boy’s three horrible nightmares, each with its own style, creatures and puzzles.

Get in the proper mood with the very happy launch trailer:

Once again, we’re very happy to have worked with our favorite Czech music duo DVA, who created all of the spooky sounds and music for Happy Game. The original soundtrack is also available to purchase on Steam and is coming later to streaming services as well.

Please note: Happy Game is not a happy game.

Machinarium - Summary of recent updates

May 31, 2021

As you’ve probably noticed, Machinarium for both Windows and Mac received several updates over the past few weeks, with the last one dropping just a few minutes ago. On both systems, we’ve made several tweaks in regards to controller support and behavior, so you should now have an easier time playing Machinarium using more types of controllers.

The new Mac update (enabling the Apple Metal API) also ensures compatibility with the most recent macOS devices and operating system versions. If you’re on an older Mac machine (manufactured before 2012 and/or running macOS 10.11 or older) and are having trouble running the latest version, please right-click on Machinarium in your Steam Library, select Properties > Betas and select the „legacy“ branch to download a version compatible with older Mac devices.

On a side note, we've recently uploaded our soundtracks on YouTube and put them together into one convenient playlist. That, of course, includes Machinarium ːjosefː ːbertaː

Happy Game Is Amanita Design's New Psychedelic Horror

Dec 16, 2020

We're very happy to announce Happy Game, the upcoming adventure from the creators of CHUCHEL and Botanicula, and our first actual horror game is coming to Steam and Nintendo Switch next year in spring. You can now add Happy Game to your Steam wishlist. ːchuchelsmileː

Happy Game is a psychedelic horror adventure that departs significantly from Amanita’s charming, family-friendly style. This time, players will find themselves playing as a little boy who experiences a terrible nightmare, passing through three unique worlds filled with playful tasks and puzzles. He won’t be all alone on this trip, though - there are many smiley faces to meet, adorable bunnies to slice with a guillotine greet, or an elusive football to chase. The game is directed by Czech artist, animator, and designer Jaromír Plachý, whose teams previously created Botanicula (2012) and CHUCHEL (2018).

Stay happy.
