Game Synopsis
«©NCSX»
The NDS version of Brave Story starts in an apartment building
where an 18-year old player-named character in a
brown hoodie is unpacking his belongings when a
neighbor barges in and starts a conversation. We
named our protagonist "Shiro" in kana. The character
name may also be entered in kanji if so desired. The
main character of the game lost his mother at an
early age and as a result of the trauma, lost his
childhood memories. Later that evening, Shiro walks
in on a gang of ruffians beating down a boy named
Mitsuru. After the trouncing, the sirens of an
ambulance may be heard when a glowing red sphere
drops at Shiro's feet. The beaten boy rouses himself
up and introduces Shiro to a mystical world known as
Vision where he is regressed to 13 years of age with
the same brown hoodie. Wide-eyed and wondering about
his new predicament, Shiro embarks on an adventure
through Vision and eventually teams up with Wataru
from the Brave Story novel where he finds himself in
a tale that hews closely to the source material. A
second team-up character named Mitsuru (from the
intro) is also selectable which allows the gamer to
play through an entirely new storyline.
At the outset of game play in Vision, Shiro stands in a cloudy
realm and the first action is to tap on the forest
clearing in the distance. After entering the area,
the protagonist finds himself in forest facing a
cavern. The stylus is used to poke a pink circular
cursor around the screen to select which areas to
visit and explore. When the cursor changes from
circle to asterisk shape, that indicates that a
location on the screen may be interacted with - be
it a door, a creature, or an object. A series of
icons lined across the bottom of the screen allow
Shiro to talk, inspect, use an item, save data, etc.
As the protagonist travels, the movement is viewed
from the side and as interaction sequences open up,
the view changes to full screen depictions of the
object, action, puzzle, or in-game sequence.
