Watching Olle walk through a disgusting pile of guts with flies surrounding the rotting flesh just feels wrong, and this sequence eventually leads into the game's first battle. Seeing a giant severed animal head thrown to the floor upon entering a butcher's cave made me quickly realize the bleak realities of this world. However, it isn't long before Bramble's unpleasant elements counter these pleasing sceneries. Yet, the dark forests and beautiful meadows create a strong presentation that keeps this haunting world intriguing. I also can't shake the uncanny valley feeling when looking at Olle and Lillemor. What keeps Bramble interesting is its narrative, and Dimfrost strikes a delicate tone with its environmental storytelling that never truly leaves you at ease.
