Few other puzzle games became popular as off-springs from success of Notpron, Ebony (or rather E.B.O.N.Y) is one of them. While the basic concept is very similar to Notpron, Ebony has it’s own narrative, and slightly different approach to some of the canons of puzzle game. You still have to solve puzzles to reach the next level of the game, but from early on, you have to forget of the puzzle games you played so far.
Some early riddles are very simple, but after few you will have to come up with solution while checking the page source or find the answer somewhere else, outside of the Ebony website.

I recently read an article pointing out how Google and Facebook killed browser games, but while author made some valid points, he missed on few key elements.
