Ah, The Life and Suffering of Sir Brante — a game that promises you a rich, medieval narrative experience and delivers... well, mostly suffering. If you’ve ever wanted to experience what it feels like to make morally agonizing choices, get emotionally attached to characters, only to see them crushed by the weight of fate, then this game will have you saying, "Wow, I didn't think life could be this depressing!" You start as Sir Brante, a poor soul who never had a say in his own destiny. First of all, the game makes you feel like the least important Brante in the Brante family, where even your grandma’s knitting seems more consequential than your existence. From childhood, every decision matters — but spoiler alert: most of them matter in the sense that they’ll haunt you forever, no matter what you do. Remember that time you tried to make a friend in the playground? Yeah, turns out they betray you later. Or when you thought your choices could prevent your brother from becoming a hot-headed lunatic? Surprise! You were wrong. In fact, you’ll learn very quickly that the true moral of this story is that no matter how hard you try, life will constantly find new and creative ways to kick you down. But the real charm of The Life and Suffering of Sir Brante is how it makes the Renaissance era feel like a very, very bad day on loop. You think you're making progress, climbing the societal ladder, getting close to fulfilling your grand purpose, but then the game decides, “Nope! Here’s a plague, a political coup, and a personal betrayal all at once. Good luck!” The graphics and sound design are beautiful, of course, because there’s nothing quite like somber music and detailed parchment-style art to remind you of the futility of life. But don’t let the pretty art fool you — behind those lovely visuals lies a relentless barrage of existential dread. In conclusion, The Life and Suffering of Sir Brante is an amazing game for anyone who enjoys making impossible choices, feeling miserable about them, and questioning whether or not they've just wasted hours of their life on a character whose only guarantee is more suffering. 10/10 would recommend for a rainy day when you feel like embracing your inner medieval philosopher.

This is the poor man's version of sealed artifact 0-08. You shape a man's life from birth to death and decide many people's fate via decisions at critical moments. While the game gives you visibility of short term impacts on decisions, the long term impact of the collective decisions are not clear and therefore make your decisions carefully. The game has great replay value as there are many different branches of how the story proceeds. The chapter 4 alone has more than 15 possible outcomes. The option to restart from selected chapter comes handy. Achievements in the game require you to go through most of the different branches and therefore not easy to complete. First run will take about 10 - 15 hours and subsequent runs will be much faster as most of the text have been read. The game runs perfectly on steam deck.

One of the best story-book games I've played. Fascinating gameworld, interesting choices and enough branching content to justify a replay or two.

Feb. 2024

One of the best written "choose your own adventure" style game where choices actually matter. Rarely have I found a game so stirring. You most likely will end your first play-through devastated by the consequences of your actions but still ask for more.

I lived my life the way I deemed right. By the end of my journey, the Brante family was utterly dishonored, the economy was in shambles and what was once considered a lawful, orderly society was now utter anarchy. 10/10
