Shhh…
Who is that over there in the dark?
Watching every step, eyes bright like a spark.
Shhh…
Is it my enemy or my friend?
It is hard to tell, but I won’t be afraid.
Hello everyone,
In this update, we want to tell you all about the characters that you saw in our trailer and which you will meet on your adventure. The forest hides many secrets, and one of them is its inhabitants. What are they like, what can we expect from them, and how did they get there in the first place? Well, let’s find out!
All of our creatures either have their origins in, or are inspired by, Nordic legends and tales. We are a Swedish studio, and all of us grew up on these stories told by our parents and grandparents. Bramble is a small tribute to these tales, a little glimpse into our childhood. It’s also our way of sharing these stories with the rest of the world.
Here are three creatures that you met in our trailer, in a bit more detail.
Näcken - he is a male spirit living in the water. Depending on which part of Nordics you are, his story is slightly different. One thing that’s in common is that he plays enchanted songs on his violin to lure you in. Be careful of his melody. Although it sounds sweet, the end will be bitter.
Lemus - this creator is a figment of our imagination in the studio. Although not directly lifted from Nordic legends, it was inspired by a John Bauer painting, specifically this one here! Don't worry, this creature is not a threat to you. He is one of the few friendly faces you will meet in this dangerous world.
Rumpnissar - they are little residents of the forest. They're tiny, cute, and you don’t need to be afraid of them. If you can, take good care of them too.
These are just some of the inhabitants of this wild enchanted forest. There are many more that you will meet on your way. But remember - not everything and everyone in Bramble is your friend.
Regards,
Your Dimfrost Team
