Max: The Curse of Brotherhood on Nintendo Switch (dematerialized)
€ 2.99 – Nintendo
Max & The Curse of Brotherhood is a unique and original adventure game, distinguished by its originality both in its concept and in its gameplay. The game offers a singular central mechanics: the player must manipulate a “magic felt” to draw elements that will help him overcome obstacles and solve the puzzles. The story follows Max, a young boy who, after a terrible accident, must rebuild the broken fragments of his brother Milo with the help of his drawings. This drawing mechanic is not simply a gadget, but is intrinsically linked to the progression and the narration of the game. The atmosphere is dark and melancholy, evoking themes of loss, redemption and guilt, all presented with a particular, a little offbeat aesthetic, which reinforces the singular atmosphere of the adventure.
The high quality of the game lies in its ingenuity. The puzzles are creative and well designed, encouraging experimentation and improvisation. The narration, centered on family relationships and reconstruction, is touching and offers a deeper point than what the visual aspect can suggest. The game is intuitive and accessible even for players who are not used to adventure games, the difficulty progressing so as to maintain constant interest.
Solo game, 2.8 GB, French inclusive, PEGI 12. Demo available.
