This is the most atmospheric game I have ever played. Astute readers of my blog will recall that this was one of my favorite games of 2007, and to be honest, it’s probably one of my favorite games of all time. And it’s absolutely free over at Nifflas’ site. You should play everything this guy has made, but Knytt Stories was the first game from Nifflas that I feel gets it so right it borders on wrong (even when compared to the original Knytt, on which this expansion game is based). I’ve never felt so relaxed and tense at the same time. Even now, six months after I first played the game, the music calms me down and the gameplay cheers me up.

Also, there’s a level editor, and people have made some wonderful things using this very simple but very potent game. Here’s what I’m talking about.
