Recently winning the Spike TV Video Game Award (VGA) for Best Independent Game, thatgamecompany’s Flower has proven that the gaming communities, both casual and hardcore, are open to new forms of narrative.
Flower is a downloadable game for the Playstation 3 that allows the player to enter the dreamworld of a flower, breezing through vast fields and beautiful worlds. The game has no fail condition or death; rather than focusing on puzzles or enemies, the developers wanted to focus on the emotional experience of the visuals and movement within the game world.
Flower is available for download on the Playstation network.
