Two Brothers is an Action Adventure game that features a classic Gameboy aesthetic.
You play the role of Roy and Bivare guarder, two scientists who are researching the origins of life.
While researching, Roy is met with a terrible fate, and has a near death experience. While Roy is on the other side of death, he visits an afterlife filled with beautiful 16 bit colors. Now that he has experienced this visual glory, he becomes obsessed with bringing the colors from the afterlife in to his mono chromatic world.
*Explore a vast non-linear world and story with multiple endings, and deep side quests!
*Take the game world from black and white 8bit to full color 16bit!
What makes Two Brothers unique:
Two Brothers takes a long hard look at death in video games... when the player is killed in combat or triggers a deadly trap, instead of being greeted a familiar GAMEOVER screen, the player finds himself in what we call the ""Afterlife Hub"".
This realm of the dead is a colorful and mysterious place where the player can explore, find clues, and interact with characters who have passed on in the games story... sometimes even bringing some of them back from the dead.
When the player wants to return to gameplay, they can jump from the edge of the heavens and get back in to the action and exploration!
This mechanic is vital to the gameplay, as sometimes interacting with the dead is just as important as interacting with the living... this feature often requires the player intentionally ending their session in a game over, just to cross over to the other side.

They had a Kickstarter last year and it was successful in September 2012, raising $16k after seeking $6k and I think this looks incredible, really unique and it's tickling my nostalgia buds something fierce  Just released on GamersGate and Greenlit for Steam last month but nothing on the main storefront yet. Not "rls" either but I'm hoping for one soon ^_^ (don't you judge me  )

Has anyone gotten the TiNYiSO one to work? I've grabbed two different copies of it now and both times it throws a CRC error during install.

Well the one on Usenet is broken, downloaded it twice to be sure, same goes with the one on KAT. I'm grabbing a single-RAR release from some shitty filehost now and I'll test that one too.

Use this:
http://innounp.sourceforge.net/
I'm pretty sure it is Inno packer and if the file is really damaged the unpacker will show it.
UPD: just a suggestion I don't have nor the game nor scene release.

(Albeit I did it via the Universal Extractor program but it's the same only with drag & drop instead of command line arguments. :P )
The game is just a single 550 MB exe anyway so the installer isn't really needed.
(Though I unpack everything this way, if needed the script file will show if any registry entries or additional folders need to be created.) |
Yeah, same here. Too bad some installer are cheeky shareware crap that always has some shitty protection and updates almost every week so any extractors are useless because nobody (people who wrote first version of unpackers) will be keeping up with that crap. Perfect tactic.

alt+enter?
The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don’t always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don’t always spoil the good things and make them unimportant.

Man, no offence to the developers or anything.. but this REALLY wasn't tested before it was released  There's a *lot* of pathing issues, not to mention game-skipping issues where you can actually be caught/trapped outside of the game. I've also encountered a bug that has trapped me on the other side of the East Bridge. I saw a Bay south of the bridge but wanted to explore first, so I took the EAST entrance on the bridge and the game said "I need to speak to Prof Ulu in the North, first" before dumping me on the WEST bank and it won't let me go back.
This needs a lot more QA before it's ready for release, if you ask me :\

Die, walk off the edge of the "floating continent" rather than talking to the old man and being sent back, got stuck in "the Northern Plains" with nothing to do, nowhere to go, just a small plains area and then open blackness surrounding it. I'm done, the game is far far far from finished and needs some MAJOR QA testing. It looks like it will be a really good game but I'm going to wait until I have some money and pick it up when everything has been tidied and fixed -- oh and RUN BUTTON, game definitely needs one
