Our Expert Score

91/100

Shapik: The Moon Quest is a visual masterpiece that feels like a playable storybook. It’s a point-and-click adventure in the style of Amanita Design's work (like Samorost or Machinarium), relying entirely on visual storytelling and atmospheric sound design rather than dialogue. You play as a small hero exploring a world after a nuclear catastrophe, trying to find your way to the moon.

The hand-drawn art is breathtaking, with every frame looking like a painting. The puzzles are integrated naturally into the environment—you might need to help a strange creature or fix a piece of makeshift machinery to progress. It’s a short experience, but every minute is packed with wonder and detail. If you're looking for a relaxing, high-art game that you can finish in one sitting, Shapik is a perfect choice. It’s a poignant and beautiful journey that stays with you.
