''[https://web.archive.org/web/20150905080716/http://thatgamecompany.com/games/flower/ Flower]'' is an independent game by [http://thatgamecompany.com/ thatgamecompany], creators of such works as ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20090221130746/http://thatgamecompany.com/games/flow/ fl0w]'' and ''[[Journey (
With the 'completion' of each dream, more flowers appear upon the windowsill, and the apartment grows ever less run-down while the view out of the window grows ever more picturesque. Actual game-play consists, for the most part, of guiding a single, wind-borne petal of the presently dreaming flower, awakening other flowers and adding a petal from each to your own, until you find yourself guiding a great, winding current of blossoms and petals (along with the occasional leaf) through the game's vast and varied landscapes while the ambient music [[Variable Mix|shifts and changes]] according to locations, movements, and events.
As the game's wordless story progresses, it takes on an increasingly subdued and eventually sinister tone, until the player finds themselves witness to a triumphant charge to bring back life to a once beautiful landscape and city.

However, if you finish Dream 5 without getting zapped, the level will just end abruptly without your petal dying, and you'll begin Dream 6 controlling the same petal (albeit without all the petals you collected in Dream 5 trailing it) until you reach the nearby goal.}}
