I featured a demake, then a humorous game and now i've got an artsy game for today.

Coma is an atmospheric exploration with light plataforming game, that concerns a boy with a bird that tells him his sister has been locked down in the basement by his dad. With the bird, they must find a way to open the basement, but turns out not all is as it looks like....

The game controls pretty basic as you only use the left and right keyboard arrows to move and the up arrow to jump. The bird is the one that carries the items. There are no enemies here. It's all about exploring a beautiful hand-drawn world and interacting with other NPCs by clicking in their dialogues, all acompanied by beautiful or dark atmospheric music depending on your surroundings. Have I mentioned the atmosphere? That's because the game does a good job at it.

This game is quite short and you can complete it in a single day once you know what to do. The enjoyment also depends on wheter you like art games like this or get bored quickly if there isn't much to do. I myself really loved this the first time I played it. I found the game quite charming in the scenery, mystery, music and overall asthetics and the ending is quite beautiful, although I should warn that it may be one of those you need to give your own interpretation. 

Those interested should go right here. As a last warning, the creator annoyingly included some facebook and twitter icons on the title screen and some parts to apparently follow him for his upcoming Ipad game and it seems they've been there since 2012.
