About Brukel

✦ AI summary

Explore an abandoned farmhouse using your smartphone camera to photograph objects and unlock your grandmother's poignant stories, as her memories progressively reveal the traumatic events of her youth. This intimate first-person narrative game blends photography-based exploration with authentic voice recordings to create an emotionally powerful journey through one woman's past.

You are trespassing in the abandoned childhood home of your 92-year-old grandmother. You have been fascinated by the stories about her youth years for most of your life, but last summer you finally decided to record her reminiscing so that you can share these stories with the online world. Now all you need are some pictures of the house and maybe some of the objects that are still in there. If only the owners would have replied to your phone calls...

Brukel is a first-person exploration game that is centered around the memories of Bie Verlinden, the grandmother of Belgian game designer Bob De Schutter. Players visit the abandoned Brukel farmhouse and use their smartphone camera to illustrate Bie's authentic stories. As time passes, the house takes players on an emotional journey through some of the traumatic events that Bie lived through.
The game’s primary mechanic is using a camera phone to take pictures of various items in the house. When you correctly identify and take a shot of an item, you hear Bie tell a story related to the object.
However, as the night goes on, the ghosts of Bie’s past emerge as her stories take a darker turn. Are you ready to experience the hardship that Bie lived through as a teenage girl?

Key features

  • An intense and emotional journey that accurately portrays the memories of a 92-year-old grandmother in her own voice (spoken in a Flemish dialect with English subtitles).
  • No combat, light puzzles and a smartphone camera that features digital zoom, exposure and focus range.
  • A short game that you can experience in about an hour.
  • For fans of Gone Home, Silent Hill and This War Of Mine.

9/10 Brukel is an exploration game reliving the memories of a grandmother told in her own voice. Haunting, beautiful, and extremely memorable. My takeaway: Brukel was a beautiful gameplay experience. It’s a first person exploration game where you traverse an old home of your grandmother in an abandoned home, all voiced by the woman herself as she retells stories. The gameplay itself was smooth and in my time playing it I encountered no bugs. The main mechanic is the player taking photos of objects followed by stories being told of the object. It left such a strong impression on me and was done in a way that was tactful, informative, and memorable. I’ve cried for this grandmother and her experience surviving through World War II. It took me ~2 hours to fully complete this title with all achievements. No cards. I only wish the artstyle and recorded voice was a little crisper. Some parts of the game were much more detailed than others but even with the lackluster art, the story was enough to keep me hooked from start to finish.

An emotionally strong and beautiful game. Like the creator's grandmother, mine too had similar stories from WWII that she narrated for me when I was younger. It was a privilege to be able to go through the stories of Bie in such animated manner. Thank you for this historical and socially important gem!
