Storyline
Thorn, a retired warrior plagued by nightmares, stumbles on an opportunity for redemption after finding clues to his daughter's disappearance from long ago. With the company of his disabled foster son, Phid, it will be up to the player to decide how far Thorn will go, not only to rescue his daughter but also to fulfill his ambitions. The story of Bravery carries a strong message on the role of parental figures and the consequences of their choices in a troubled world. This message is informed by the developers' personal life experiences, and the game aims to impart these real, resonant feelings with competence and depth. Thorn is a competent warrior in a world where people like him perish all the time. Under your control, Thorn will have the capacity to kill and survive from the word go, but you should expect to find Thorn’s fragility starkly reflected in your own series of likely defeats.Read more
