Daniel Benmergui, creator of the impressive Flash-based game I Wish I Were The Moon, has released the equally creative Today I Die, a gorgeous little adventure with a fascinating gameplay twist.

In Today I Die, players must manipulate the game's characters and a few lines of ever present text to progress. Benmergui is able to tell a superb little story with less than 25 words, offering players a memorable experience and by way of a clever mechanic. There's also a lovely little soundtrack, courtesy of Hernan Rozenwasser.

If you have a few minutes to spare, I'd highly recommend it. If you find any difficulty getting started, I'd recommend toying around with the jellyfish.

And if you enjoy yourself, you may want to experiment with Benmergui's other games—and maybe offer a donation to fund his next game while you're at it.
