Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons is an emotional third person puzzle adventure of two brothers on a journey to help their father, who has fallen ill.
Players will guide the two brothers on an epic fairy tale filled with discovery, loss, adventure, and mystery. With no option for failure the brothers must rely on each other using their individual skills to protect one another and overcome the obstacles ahead in this unforgettable journey.
Whilst the original game made its debut in 2013, the Remake (which released in 2024) acts as a faithful upgrade to the original story. The remake introduces new character models, landscapes and updates to the performance and gameplay, as well as having re-recorded the soundtrack with a live orchestra.
The game is presented from a third-person view overlooking the two brothers. Players can choose to brave the adventure solo, or play on local co-op. Whilst playing solo, the brothers are moved independently by two thumbsticks on the controller. The controller triggers also cause the respective brother to interact with the game world, such as talking to a non-player character or grabbing onto a ledge or object.
Players choosing to play together, on local couch co-op, will each control a brother independently.
Death and grief are omnipresent themes throughout the brothers’ journey, as are themes of struggle, suicide and wellbeing.
Key Features:
- Control both brothers on this journey independently
