Bramble: The Mountain King sees players take on the role of a young boy who together with his big sister, is lost in a magical forest. On their journey, they will meet and interact with gnomes, trolls, and other creatures inspired by Nordic folk-lore.

The environments and unique creatures are inspired by the nature, fables and fairy tales of the Nordics.

A shy boy and his adventurous, older sister sneak out from their home at night and wander deep into a nearby forest. As they explore an old ancient ruin, the ground suddenly collapses, and they tumble down through a sinkhole to the lost and magical world of Bramble.

Together, they explore Bramble, and befriend curious and strange spirits. However, not all of the creatures they meet are friendly. The siblings are taken by surprise as a huge troll traps them. The troll abducts the sister, leaving the younger brother lost in despair.

Without his older sister and role model, the shy boy is lost. He needs to find strength inside of him in order to face all the horror and monsters ahead of him. When he embarks on this journey to reunite with his sister, he also unravels a dark curse that has sickened the world. He soon realizes that something dangerous is lurking in the shadows below the mountains.

Throughout the game you will embark on a journey through the dark world of Bramble where you will encounter “David vs Goliath” bosses and explore and traverse Nordic nature. You will meet interesting creatures and experience a unique world filled with Nordic fables and fairy tales.
