We are now accustomed to games with graphics and well-kept design that present scenes from animated or extremely realistic films. Then there are flash games, almost always with simple graphics, but sometimes the expression of artists who design and animate them in original and unique ways.
In this third article on the original experiments of the web, we see 10 free flash games that are characterized by their graphics, game dynamics, atmospheric music, with an interesting story and an artistic aspect.
All games are complete gaming experiences and not just demos or conceptual exercises, so I really recommend trying them one by one because, for everyone, at least one game is worth it.

In Way an explorer moves in a cave where he is stuck. The only way to get out of it is to take instructions from the playmate to whom, at the same time, you have to give directions, without chatting or talking but using signs.
