When we first saw Growbot, we were utterly charmed. This lovely-looking point-and-click adventure game, developed by Wabisabi Play, has been drawn up by UK-based children's illustrator Lisa Evans — firefluff on Instagram — and features an adorable little robot called Nara who's trying to save her home from a dark force.

The robots in nature aesthetic, and the idea of saving your home from a corrupting force, reminds us heavily of Pixar's WALL-E but with a lot more nature and a little bit less pollution. Inspired by Lucasarts' point-and-clicks of the past (such as Loom) and is designed to scratch the itch of both veterans of the genre, while also encouraging newcomers into the fray.
