The Life and Suffering of Sir Brante is a narrative-driven text-based RPG set in a ruthless medieval realm that comes to life on the pages of the protagonist's journal.

Key features


At the turn of time
Every imperial citizen's life is predetermined by their estate. The deities known as the Twin Gods have bestowed this truth to the world, dividing mortals into Lots. The nobles lead and rule over others, while the clergy guides people on the one true path, and the lowborn suffer, toiling away for the glory of the Empire. You may accept your fate without question, but it is also in your power to change the cosmic order that governs all.
Your choice is not an illusion
Divided into chapters, the game keeps track of the player's deeds, the skills they acquired, as well as other overlapping circumstances that shape a unique plotline for each playthrough. Every decision has its consequences and you will be held accountable throughout the entire journey. To protect your family and loved ones, to impose the rule of the Emperor and make a fortune, or to try and change the world as you see fit... Make your choice, but beware of the follies of pride and ambition.
Fight for your life
One man is anything but omnipotent in this realm yet under your guidance, Sir Brante may become a person who can endure every trial fate throws at him and rewrite the very laws that govern his world! Develop and train your character, leveling up such traits as determination, sensitivity, and endurance. All of the hero's skills, starting with those acquired in infancy, will affect his personality, worldview, and relationships, ultimately unlocking new talents and possible storylines.
Find your own path
Numerous branching paths that affect the unfolding story will make every playthrough a unique experience: become a noble judge, learn the ways of the inquisition, plot a revolution as a member of a secret society, or embrace an entirely different purpose. Be brave and fate itself shall bend to your will!
There and hereafter
Resurrection system allows the character to keep his experience upon death, letting the player reevaluate past steps and make adjustments to their strategy going forward. Take control not only of your life but also your demise, then put everything at stake in this cycle of death and rebirth!

The Life and Suffering of Sir Brante — Chapter 1&2 is a narrative-focused role-playing experience that places personal decisions, social pressure, and long-term consequences ahead of conventional combat. Developed by Sever and Schisma Games and published by 101XP, this free introductory release covers the early stages of Sir Brante's life and establishes the rules, conflicts, and moral questions that define the complete game. Presented largely through the pages of Brante's journal, it combines interactive fiction with RPG progression, strategy, and simulation elements to create an experience centered on shaping one person's destiny within an unforgiving society. The story unfolds in the Blessed Arknian Empire, where social inequality is considered part of the natural and divine order. The Twin Gods have divided humanity into predetermined Lots, assigning different responsibilities and privileges to nobles, members of the clergy, and ordinary people. Nobles possess political authority, priests provide spiritual direction, and the lowborn are expected to work and suffer for the Empire. This system creates a compelling foundation because Brante is not simply confronting corrupt indiv…

The Life and Suffering of Sir Brante Chapter 1 and 2 is a free story focused RPG where we follow Sir Brante from childhood and through the early parts of his life. We grow up in the Blessed Arknian Empire, a harsh world where our social class is decided at birth and everyone is expected to accept the life they have been given. From the beginning, the game makes it very clear that our choices can have serious consequences. The story is easily the best part for us. The world is brutal and unfair, but that is what makes it interesting. Being born into a lower class means dealing with rules and treatment that can feel genuinely horrible, while nobles and clergy have much more freedom. It makes even small decisions feel important because we are constantly thinking about what kind of person we want Brante to become. The choice system is also really good. We are not just picking dialogue options that change one conversation and then disappear. Our decisions can affect Brante's skills, relationships, events and future opportunities, so choices can come back much later. The game keeps track of what we have done, which makes different playthroughs feel meaningfully different. The RPG syst…

Honestly pretty overrated game that want you to minmax and not play some role. Didnt liked it then, but now sequel is slopped by AI, so easily not recommend wasting your time + purulent pimples for devs and whole family + casting rabid dogs in their anuses
