The Brittle Epoch

This game diverges from traditional gaming as it make you witness the exploration of Flutter and Juniper, two girls navigating an abandoned snow-covered world. There is no quests or actions to do but more a journey through a narrative artwork and storytelling. I like the graphic style; a mix of creepy, dystopian and melancholic ambience. Technically, the project was made with Unreal Engine which make stunning scenes but be sure to adjusting your graphic settings or your GPU may not appreciate the journey.

Bryn Oh's latest title is a remarkable achievement in art and storytelling, an immersive experience that remains faithful to the original story and long-term art project. Visually, it’s a treat, meticulously crafted and captivating. Bryn Oh's style and artistic talents shine through in every detail. The story telling is where this title truly excels. It takes players on a poignant journey. The emotional depth and intensity of the narrative are genuinely heart-wrenching and have a lasting impact. To me, what sets this version of The Brittle Epoch apart is its ability to provide deeper insights and explanations. Both new and seasoned Bryn Oh admirers will find the storytelling more accessible and engrossing, allowing players to connect with the characters and their struggles on a profound level. Looking forward to more from Bryn Oh.

The Brittle Epoch Positives: + Artistic + The outside looks mostly nice + Atmospheric + Ok sounds and music + The voiceover is okay + Its free Negatives: - You're encouraged to watch 3 long uninteresting and weird videos on youtube before you begin to play (and its bugged and choppy as well) - The storys (all beginning with flutter and juniper...) are not interesting at all, and lasts a long time - Some parts just look bad (dated graphics, low resolution textures, wrong size ratio etc) - Invisible walls - You can just walk thru alot of buildings and object - Bugs - If you want to hear the stories, you must stand mostly still, or else the story stops and you have to start all over again - No subtitles - Not a lot to see or do - Not well optimized (you need a really good pc to run this smoothly) - Very short length (even with the long stories) Maybe I just didnt get this sequel, but I liked Lobby Cam more, and that wasn't a masterpiece either. It feels like this game is overtold, and the videos you can just skip. They didnt add anything significant to the narrative. I was mostly bored by the stories. It would have been much better if there were no stories at all. Instead maybe there should have been some letters you can find and read. Leave you wondering what its really all about. Mysteries are way better than being overtold to death. Or as they say: some things are better left unsaid. Less is more. Total Score: 3.5/10

I loved this. This is a gorgeous immersive artwork right down to the smallest details. I'm a fan of Bryn Oh's work and her stories are so rich and thought-provoking that it's a wonderful experience to see The Brittle Epoch brought to life in this format. Whether enjoying the narrative, pondering The Singularity, or just standing and watching the snow fall- this is a gorgeous and important work accessible on many levels.
