About Little Brother Jim
Paul's little brother Jim passed away a year ago today. Now Paul goes for a walk up to the hill where they spent their last night, watching the fireworks around the city. On the way there, he stops by some randomly placed magical mailboxes filled with notes from his gone brother Jim, from the other side. Jim loved a jeep parking video game in his life but got stuck at its final level.
Little Brother Jim alternates between the jeep parking game, and Paul's journey up to the hill. Note that the jeep parking levels can be challenging to some, but they are skippable after each few fails. On the other hand, if you want to focus more on the parking levels, and spend less on exploration bits, you can skip reading the notes and that will make it take a short while on the exploration levels.
However it's suggested that you to take your time and inspect every detail of the game since it has been made with a lot of attention on each so you'll see things are connected while they seem not to be so.

Alright. [i]Little Brother Jim[/i] is done and dusted. This is an interesting game from Tonguc’s catalogue that offers a different approach to his recognizable style. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3171977671 Why? Because while the story is told with excellent pacing via the walking simulator parts of the game (which he is known for); at the beginning of the game and used as interludes, the game is also a parking simulator, where a bear drives a car through an obstacle course until it finds the parking spot in each level, presented in four sets of eleven courses with the fourty-fifth course being the game’s finale. Which is pretty funny in concept, but the walking simulator part of the game almost immediately tells you why the parking simulator part is there, and ties everything together immaculately. As you progress through the sets of eleven parking courses, new wrinkles are added, such as deer crossing and needing to bunny hop your car over an obstacle. And, the artistic design here is very lighthearted and fun. The walking simulator part is trademark Tonguc work, and is arguably the most beautiful game he’s produced (at least of the one’s I’ve played…13 found this helpful
The best experience I had with Tonguç Bodur games on christmas.8 found this helpful
I thought this would be a simple little parking game, but it turned out to be a surprisingly emotional story about grief, memory, and connection... I especially love the music and the environments, they add so much warmth to the experience. I love this.2 found this helpful
