Bramble: The Mountain King Is Striking In New Trailer

Today’s Future Games Show gave us a new look at Bramble: The Mountain King, a visually arresting upcoming game from Dimfrost Studio. The young protagonist Olle is controlled by the players. He explores the misty Nordic fairytale world in the forbidding wilderness and all the dangerous and strange creatures that he encounters. The hope of saving his missing sister motivates Olle’s journey.

The studio is aiming to offer a compelling juxtaposition of beautiful natural environments and sudden, horrifying moments of danger – all reflected in high-quality visuals. That goal is clearly presented in the game’s footage, which has an attractive and lush art style that immediately captures the mood.

The studio describes a focus on “David vs. Goliath” bosses as you explore nature. As an illustration of the concept, the new trailer discusses the strange creature called the Näcken, perhaps inspired by the myth of the Nykr. In the game, the Näcken plays its magical violin from its watery home, and lures people to their deaths by drowning in the lake. He was once a normal man who was terribly bullied by those around him, who eventually snapped and killed everyone close to him – including the girl that he loved.

Based on the description explored in the trailer, it’s clear that Dimfrost is interested in exploring the backstories and foundational elements of each monster’s narratives as part of the unfolding game. The Näcken is just one of many strange creatures that players encounter in the game.

This footage shows the young explorer exploring creepy 3D environments. Sometimes, giant monsters lurk behind the scenes. Puzzle-solving and platforming are the main focus of gameplay.

Dimfrost Studio was previously well-known for creating A Writer and His Daughter 2017, a VR exploration video game.

Bramble: In 2022, the Mountain King and PC will arrive on consoles and PCs.
