Imagine a game where there is no dialogue or text, no plot lore, or even directions and instructions. Sounds pretty lame right? Such a game is called "Flower". The game takes a totally different approach, by not focusing on game play, storyline, or multiplicity found in nearly all videogames created today, but instead emphasizes the simple, yet artistic hand-drawn graphics, the soothing music, and overall emotional and visual representation.
The game play is simple enough. You are the wind guiding a single pedal to gather the desired amount of other flying pedals. One of the few games ever to be made to create a soothing feeling, and emphasize the appreciation of the hand-drawn, often portrait-like visuals of the game. The game itself has won many awards, ranging from "2009's Best Indie Video Game" to "2009 Casual Game of the Year".
