About the story

The game’s narrative is a kind of philosophical parable on the misadventures of a seemingly insignificant little man set up against the background of the collapse of a worldwide empire brought down by the deepening social crisis.

Sir Brante is an excellent narrative-driven RPG delivering an engaging story in a richly detailed world. The game does stack the deck against you but hopefully, wise choices see you through it. Being played in the pages of a book paints a picture in your mind including some black and white landscapes too

The Life and Suffering of Sir Brante manages to perfectly combine RPG elements with the visual novel genre, creating an experience you'll want to relive again and again. The story is based on well-written characters and a sophisticated, gritty world. Minuses in the form of poor dubbing and the game's difficulty do spoil the overall feel, but the quality gameplay and thrilling narrative make this a worthy piece of gameplay that you can easily spend dozens of hours with.

Icarus-esque in its attempt to set a new standard in choices matter adventuring.

Worth Playing

The Life and Suffering of Sir Brante is one of the better games of its kind I have played in recent memory. The world-building and writing are enthralling, and the prospect of guiding your character from life to death is a fun and challenging exercise. I would have loved more interactivity, especially in dialogues, and some decisions seem predetermined and stacked against you a few too many times to truly feel open. In the end, that doesn't detract from the otherwise fun RPG adventure novel. If you're yearning for a good RPG adventure that is heavy on the reading side, I'd highly recommend The Life and Suffering of Sir Brante.
