Brothers - A Tale of Two Sons

When their father falls gravely ill, two brothers set out to find the Water of Life. You guide them through a fairy-tale world, relying on their different strengths to help them overcome obstacles. In the single-player mode, each brother is controlled separately on the same controller: one with the left stick and trigger, the other with the right. Coordinate their movements and actions to solve puzzles, traverse hazards, and make progress together. The journey unfolds across varied environments, with the brothers' invented language, gestures, and interactions conveying the story without understandable dialogue. The focused adventure combines exploration, puzzles, and light action.

Guide two brothers seeking a cure for their ailing father, controlling both at once to explore and solve cooperative puzzles.
