Browser Game Pick: Gretel and Hansel (Makopudding)
Gretel and Hansel is a short point and click adventure loosely based in the world of Hansel and Gretel. Gretel overhears their parents discussing some 'money-saving ideas', and decides to embark on a pebble-collecting mission as per the story.
There's some pretty dark humour to be found here (I sincerely hope I'm not the only one who accidently found the 'Kain' achievement) and unlike most point-and-clicker, you can actually die. Finding the 10 pebbles over the 4 different areas isn't too taxing, but it's definitely worth playing for the watercolour art - every little bit from the backgrounds to the character models was hand painted and scanned in. Lovely stuff.
Play it over on Newgrounds.

Shouldn't deaths be punishment, not something you are supposed to collect?
