About This Game

A short walking narrative for people who enjoy relaxed exploration. In this experience you will walk the environment in first person listening to a narrative that is triggered in certain areas. It is less a game and more a short narrative artwork.

A group of children are brought by a singularity AI to their new home in an abandoned subdivision. This story follows two of the girls, Flutter and Juniper, who explore the houses during a winter storm, interpreting what they find within. This is a immersive short story (one hour) that is part two of a trilogy. Part one is seen through a machinima video. It is a chapter in a larger interconnected narrative I am creating.

The game seems to be non-functional. It turned into a slideshow, regardless of what operations I killed on my PC. It also has a 20 minute introduction video, which I guess is pretty interesting, BUT, routing players through to YouTube in the game is a sure way to problems. Not the least of which is that it makes your reasonably cool machinima video run very poorly. I wish I had more gameplay things to say about this but as I mentioned, I couldn't actually experience any of the game. For the DEV - My System Specs - 32gb DDR5 Ram, I9 processor, 3080TI GPU. https://youtu.be/vP0JGSeJ7SI

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.

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.

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.

Going into it, I wasn't certain what to expect.. after a few minutes of play through.. I want to give it my full undivided attention, wicked attention to detail and story rich. I will update this upon completion.

Visually stunning. The way the story is told is very creative. It left me wanting more. Explore a lot! There are a ton of small details.

I quite enjoyed this game. It has a weird charm about it. The environment and character designs are pretty good. The writing is also very well done. Ya could almost see the scenes playin out in ur head as the narrator does her thing. That said, I think the game could work if it was all animated. Would bring it up to the next level. The game does have some stutter issues. At some points the game chugged along a bit. Over all, I enjoyed the game. Managed to complete it. Not bad for the price. I'm down to see more from Bryn Oh.
