This minimalist approach has worked in the past for games like Ico and Journey, but here it has mixed results. Thankfully, it’s a story as pure as any folktale: the brothers’ father has fallen sick and they must retrieve the “water of life” to save him.
Dialogue is used sparingly – and even when present, it is in an incomprehensible, made-up language inspired by Fares’ native Lebonese. The tale at hand is simple, and simply told the story is revealed largely through the physical actions of the protagonists. Now, with the help of Swedish filmmaker Josef Fares, the company has created Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, a game that’s more akin in spirit to arthouse games than Starbreeze’s past work.Īs the title suggests, the core is the familial bond between two siblings. Starbreeze Studios is best known for its first-person action games like The Chronicles of Riddick and The Darkness.
