Botanicula
Botanicula is a point-and-click adventure game developed by Amanita Design, the studio behind Machinarium and Samorost. The game follows small plant creatures on a journey through a fantastical tree inhabited by various whimsical organisms and environments.

The game is designed for casual and family audiences looking for a relaxing, artistic experience.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find public information confirming whether Amanita Design has released a native Apple Silicon build of Botanicula. The bundle ID suggests this is a macOS version, but search results did not surface details about its current architecture or distribution status. Botanicula is a mature, well-regarded indie game from an established studio, so there is a reasonable chance a native build may have been released without prominent publicity. We recommend contacting Amanita Design directly via their website to ask whether a native Apple Silicon version is available, or check your installed copy using Apple System Profiler (Applications → Utilities → System Information, then select your app and check Architecture). If you discover the current build is Intel-only and no native version is available, keep in mind that it will stop working entirely when macOS 28 removes Rosetta 2 in September 2028. In the meantime, the game continues to run under Rosetta 2, so you can still enjoy it on your current Mac.
