We just had to go with the cherry red color - it actually looks like an LP-shaped cherry candy. Chuchel would eat that, but you probably shouldn't. Just playing it is sweet too, though! If you enjoyed CHUCHEL's music, check out the record in our store: 'Cherries on Air' LP You can listen to the album in full on DVA's Bandcamp.

It's a lovely indie games festival taking place in Kyoto. We've been there with Samorost 3 a couple of years ago and now we came back with CHUCHEL. As you would imagine, it was tons of fun to meet with fellow devs, fans and newcomers. However there was one particularly amazing moment. Watching parents play CHUCHEL with their children is always as heartwarming as it gets. So at this year's BitSummit there was this little kid who was a bit... careless about the game at first. Almost critical. But his |
