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)!

Me When there's no more Gluten Free Oreos ^

Finished making all the frames in this new cutscene finally! I still need to do a lot of editing for the lip synching but it's getting so close to completion

Oh Dear D:

Whew! this new Cutscene might get over 2000 Frames :O

Sometimes you just need a Hug, But don't squeeze too tightly )>w<(

This new cutscene in the upcoming update is very emotional for poor Briar, but! for GJ I wanted to make a silly alternate version ^w^

Aww Tiny Briar looks so Cute!

Really Excited with how the Updates coming so far! The final level will be extended having you and Jeremy work together to progress further :3

Awwww

I really like how this frame turned out while I was working on a cutscene

So Cute!
