What do you think?

First of all, I love the visual cutscenes and narrative elements so much. The characters are so lovable, even the ones who have a quick appearance. The story was really interesting and intense, I love Jeremy character and the coop mechanics with him. The overall animations are so cool as well.

I got the true ending at my first try, found some easter eggs around and checked the extras, seems that the backstory is very gloomy and I gonna try to find more secrets on my next plays. I'd love to see more future updates and chapters honestly.

I can see how much effort you've put into this, congrats buddy. You have a truly potential for games and storytelling, looking forward for what you come up with next <3

The Legend Has Released!

Okay so I stumbled accross this game completely by accident, and I don't know why but something caught my attention, so I decided to give it a shot. First of all, I applaud you for all the efforts you've put into it, the animations, the gameplay and the story are great. Now, here's my problem, I've barely played any of the game because I'm stuck in the first QTE sequence (the one with the eagle), even if I spam the shift key like crazy, it's completely impossible to fill the bar in time. I don't know if it's just a problem with my computer or if it's supposed to be really hard. But it just came out as extremely frustrating, mainly because I can't see the rest of the game, which is something I'm looking forward to

I only got 3 endings and found out about the 2 secret levels and beated both of their bosses, did all the visions minigames and even got to see the continuation of the true ending.

Please Please Please Please Please Please Please Please Please Please Please Please, tell me there´s something I missed aside from some extra easter eggs cuz OH MAN, I had a quick but joyful experience with this game. And tbh, it´s really hard for me to inmerse in a narrative, you did a great job at encapsulating the feelings you wanted to bring and also made quite a bunch of gameplay details added on top!

Is this like a chapter 1 kind of thing? Cuz I feel I would require more info or perhaps i´m missing something else?

I tried playing through the game. I have to say I cheated a bit and started the last level from the menu, since finishing the swamp level felt impossible. When I press Shift repetitively, I get some Windows prompt which deactivates the game window (often causing the character to fall on spikes). I have Windows 10, I don't know if it's some kind of a local thing.

The story is very heavy but has great moments, and I really love the visual storytelling in the cutscenes! Also, kudos for arranging voice acting for everything! Adds so much to the immersion.

Nice animations too, I was surprised by the rat's attack, lol.

Along the way you'll encounter fearsome foes and bosses, and meet a few friendly allies who will guide you through when time needs it the most.

Briar is a classic 2D-Platformer packed with plenty of hand-drawn animations! Enjoy an unique blend of slow- and fast-paced gameplay, with an large-scale interactive visual novel side to it. There's even fully voiced characters!

Run, jump, and wall-climb through three levels while uncovering many dark secrets hidden throughout the game... including Multiple endings!

This is first and foremost a passion project, built and refined throughout the past years. I learnt a bunch of new things and got help from many talented people while on this journey (you may see it reflected in the game as you more forward)!

In this update I'm finally fixing Briar's vest, his old vest looked more like a red coat :V

Developer Note 03

a placeholder for the Title screen's music was a song from "I Am Alive"

(I played the Demo a lot and really liked the music in that game :3)

Developer Note 02

to keep Briar from moving while crouched, I put code where all movement is stopped when you hold the down key, it worked. . . however, if you hold the down key while jumping Briar will Glide 0w0

(its been fixed in the upcoming version)

Developer Note 01

The invincible Fins that swim around in the swamp was originally gonna be this ugly fish, but I made a few changes.

Big Announcement

and a cast of all new characters

they'll also be a few returning characters

After quite a few games are done, I might get back to work on a sequel, but this game will be darker, and a pretty traumatic experience for Briar

Yet another update, in the previous update when you get to the hawk scene, you have to press shift 30 times and every 0.15 seconds the bar gets subtracted by 1, now you just press shift 15 times and every 1.00 it'll subtract 1 from the bar

Yay! the update is here! the glitch I had to fix was if you tried to go the other path that leads to 2 more endings you would get thrown out of the map, this will be the final update I hope :3
