Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons in 3 bits

Tristan and Oliver pair up, side-by-side, for their first ever in-person recording to venture deep into the land of giants in Starbreeze Studios’ Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, as they break it down into these three bits:

Two Perspectives - How the two characters react to the world differently and the implications it has on puzzle design

Your Other Half - The mechanics of controlling two characters at once and the resulting, physical character building as the narrative unfolds

Show Not Tell - The wordless worldbuilding leveraging land and soundscapes
