Explore the forest in William and Sly

Some of the best games that one can play are the most peaceful. This is especially true of William and Sly, a gentle exploration game with very simple gameplay and endearing characters. Interestingly enough, it is made by the same person of the hectic Ether War. In his own words, he made it because “most of my flash games have been too complicated for my family to play.”

William and Sly is extremely easy to learn. You control with the cursor keys and shift: cursors move you and jump, and shift brings up help and the map. The game world is quite expansive, and the goal is to activate all of the runestones located across the forest. A daunting task, but the game is not difficult by any means. The vaguely painted graphics and peaceful music lend to the serenity of your surroundings, and help to craft a truly fantastic browser game.
