I like flash games. They're free, don't take up too much time and frequently more imaginative then commercial video games. Such is the case with Gretel and Hansel, a point and click adventure based on.... well, you know. This version seems to have a slight feminist bent to it, as you control a slingshot-wielding Gretel while your brother is a bit of a twat. (I sure hope Gretel is actually the girl, or that's not going to make any sense).
As you can see, the graphics are rendered in moody watercolours. That combined with the music gives the whole thing a wonderfully dark old-school feel, like Banjo Kazooie crossed with Braid. Check out episode 01 on Newgrounds.
