Looks very GameBoy-esque. I'm digging it. It will be out on

Quote:
About the Two Brothers:
Two Brothers is an Action Adventure game that features a classic Gameboy aesthetic.
You play the role of Roy and Bivare guarder, two scientists who are researching the origins of life.

While researching, Roy is met with a terrible fate, and has a near death experience. While Roy is on the other side of death, he visits an afterlife filled with beautiful 16 bit colors. Now that he has experienced this visual glory, he becomes obsessed with bringing the colors from the afterlife in to his mono chromatic world.

▪ Explore a vast non-linear world and story with multiple endings, and deep side quests!
▪ Take the game world from black and white 8bit to full color 16bit!
What makes Two Brothers unique:

Two Brothers takes a long hard look at death in video games... when the player is killed in combat or triggers a deadly trap, instead of being greeted a familiar GAMEOVER screen, the player finds himself in what we call the "Afterlife Hub".

This realm of the dead is a colorful and mysterious place where the player can explore, find clues, and interact with characters who have passed on in the games story... sometimes even bringing some of them back from the dead.

When the player wants to return to gameplay, they can jump from the edge of the heavens and get back in to the action and exploration!

This mechanic is vital to the gameplay, as sometimes interacting with the dead is just as important as interacting with the living... this feature often requires the player intentionally ending their session in a game over, just to cross over to the other side.

Fay mentioned this the other day, and the first thing I thought of was Final Fantasy Adventure and its remake Sword of Mana.

It unsettling to me how similar this game looks to those two games, down to the fact that one of the main characters looks almost like just a sprite redesign of the main character of Sword of Mana. Even the sounds and music are very similar.

Whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, I'm not sure.

I'm excited, sprite work is great and I love the monochrome style. I played Rad Raygun on XBL for its gameboy inspiration and as fun as it was, it was just lacking something. The similiarities Myoky mentioned does bother me a bit, but then I remember 3D Dot Game Heroes, which was an absolute copy of Zelda, but it wasn't a bad game! Besides, I read something where the devs mentioned the Zelda/Mana inspiration.
