Can you explain the game?

Cool, thanks! I've still got Samorost 3 from Steam I never played but maybe I will check this out too.

How do you play it? I went on the website and tried to, but I was just clicking on characters and they'd move a little and make noise. Is there actual gameplay, or is it a game where you just discover what everyone can do when you click on them? Please explain.

You find the right place to click. At the very beginning of the game, you need to wait like 5-10 seconds and then click on the gray cap top portion of the blue pipe to get started.

If you get stuck stuck, you can look through (part of) this walkthrough to help you get to the next part.

Hey Josh and Yeshua,
so you have to figure out where to click or what combination of things to click on to move the interactive story along. This is a point and click/interactive fiction game type.

This genre of game tends to be more solitary of an activity usually, less popular than rpgs, fighting, and adventure games, and people who like solving puzzles or riddles tend to like them. Not everyone is aware that this is an actual genre because they've only seen fast paced games. Point and click are generally slow paced games.
