Gianluca, aka “The Huge,” contacted us all the way from Milan, Italy to share a beautiful piece he completed after playing “Flower.” He writes:

“Anyway the clouds, the wind and the whole atmosphere belong to me so much. One year before your releasedthe game I wrote an instrumental song called La nebbia, after flowr was released I wrote some lyrics inspired by the sense of freedom I felt in the game that, on the other hand, reminded of my teenage years.”

Listen to his song, “Flower,” here.

Stephen, aka The Game Locker, sent us this video, which is part review, part fandome. Either way, it’s a very thoughtful and personal look at “Flower.” Enjoy!
