In interviews with the author, he cites his obvious love of the great Lucas Arts adventures as well as the somewhat less well known Gobliiins games. I played them on the Atari ST and they are much more directly responsible for the play mechanic he uses in Somorost. Check them out on the Underdogs site.
There was a response to this thread where they thought this was spam, but of course it's not. It's simply a notice saying that the sequel to the best point and click flash game is out, on a forum that it hadn't been mentioned before.

looking forward to http://www.machinarium.com so much. absolutely love these games, can't believe there hasn't been more discussion about them on here - everyone should try the first two!
can anyone recommend similar (modern) games? i tried out gobliiins again recently and they were ok, but have dated quite badly

In games like this I invariably get stuck incredibly early on.

they remind me a bit of those flash 'you are locked in a room with a chair, now escape' games, but infinitely more fun

ok, the first one took like ten minutes, so let's try the next soon.

So you can get this as part of a 'humble bundle', along with machinarium and Samorost 2 (plus a couple of extras, as always, if you exceed the average price): http://www.humblebundle.com/
