Um, I think I'll pass on this game. It's either a HOG or a IHOG, isn't it?

I'm so looking forward to this one! The graphics look scrumptious, and the clips I've seen on Amanita's website have made me laugh out loud.

But it seems that the soundtrack in gog's version is just a "demo" (like 3-5 tracks). Hoping that Lace Mamba will publish a some kind of collector's edition that has the full ost in FLAC.

Just pre-ordered Botanicula from GOG for $8.99. It's the "Collector's Edition" with demo sound track, wallpapers, photos etc. Supposed to be available for download April 19th - can't wait! I, too, hope they release the entire soundtrack.
