BRAMBLE HORROR GAME SIMULATOR

This is similar to if you travel to a different state and hear about their Boy Who Cried Wolf or BigFoot sightings, but done in a far more creative way. Each village or area you progress towards has a legend within it. This is mostly prevalent by the bosses you encounter throughout. Bramble is filled with moments of utter terror that begin nearly thirty minutes into your play through, and never look back or give you much time to breathe after that. I assumed with the vibrant colors and the certitude that I was playing as a kid in fairytale that at most I would think the game was just a little scary, but nothing to keep my lamp on at night.įortunately for all of us, I was wrong. Sure, the rating on the box and the horrifying trailer could tell me that I’d be in for a true horror game, but I couldn’t help but go into it a little hesitant. Where this game differs is the sheer brutality throughout. You’ll find yourself in a dark Nordic world similar in appearance to games like Fable or Lost in Random, and reminiscent in gameplay and overall concepts to a game like Little Nightmares 2. You play as Olle in this 3-4 hour experience, attempting to find your recently abducted sister. I even found myself asking the question, “Is this even allowed in an M-rated game?” Just when you start to think surely you have seen it all, this game delivers a few more gut punches to leave you gasping in disbelief. However, this game quickly turns dark and only gets darker from there.

As stated before, the game starts with an immense fairytale feel. For us horror fans, Bramble is the gift that keeps giving. Initially released in April of 2023 across all major platforms, the game is now available on Xbox Game Pass.

What starts as a pleasant walking simulator between a brother and his older sister, swiftly turns into the most eerie version of a Hansel and Gretel story that you’ll ever come across.
