Obviously not content with just selling those lovely things that we call games, Amazon has set up a division of its company that will focus on creating interactive titles for the masses.

The online retailer's new branch is called Amazon Game Studios, and it's just released its debut title: Living Classics. This "moving object" game features characters and environments from classic books like Alice in Wonderland, The Wizard of Oz, and King Arthur.

If the video below isn't clear, your job in this Facebook game is to work your way through each scene finding and clicking on moving objects. You can use the popular social network to visit your buddies and share the rewards that you earn through play.

Amazon has said that Living Classics will be the first of many titles from its new gaming wing, but it didn't reveal whether any of them will make it off of Facebook and onto other platforms.
