If you haven't seen Small Forest Story yet, it definitely deserves to be played through once for the holidays. And while it won't present much of a challenge for you, the pixel graphics are exquisite and the characters are adorably cute—especially the little bunny dance.
The load times can be a bit long, but persevere and you will be rewarded with a delightful holiday point-and-click experience. It reminded me of those tiny little books I used to have as a child, and how each of them contained a tiny little story commensurate with my own tiny little self. Too cute. Click.
The interactive piece was created by Watanabe of Watarigraphic, where "various, happy contents are plenty here." =D
Update: Apparently the interactive piece was only a temporary offering from the artist for the holidays, as it has been taken offline and I could not locate a new link to it anywhere on the site. I did locate illustration stills of the art work that was used in Small Forest Story, here.
I have preserved the game by mirroring it here until a time when the artist again offers it on the Crimson-surge website.

Um... I can't seem to find the game. All the links lead to the same list of games made by Tonypa and none of them are 'Small Forest Story'.

Looks fun, I think I'll play with my wife tonight when we celebrate Solstice! But wondering, I hear no music or sound effects? Are there any that you have heard?

It's pretty quiet up until the end scene, at which time there is a tiny little xmas tune that plays as a reward for finishing.

Cute, Jay! One of the only games I've ever beat without hints, sadly. Or I'm impatient!

Haha that was very cute. There's music at the end, but not during the game. I was waiting for that banana to start Peanut-Butter Jelly Timing :D

Hehe. A nice, cute, albeit short, game for the Xmas season. Nice find as always, Jay. I even checked out that password thing.

I love the inaccurate translations. "next, do you challenge?" and "congratulations all items have become complete!" It's so damn cute!
Posted by: Grace | December 21, 2005 9:20 PM
So what is up with the password thing?

Nice if a little small :) I had to switch back to 1024x768 (wondering why they don't make these movies resizable like flash is so good at)...
Next! :P

The game is back online. I came across this while looking through lists of "Best of (whatever year's) Games."
Very sweet, small, and perfect.
