    For a game that relies heavily on its storytelling, my brother lives in a canyon fails to engage players. The acting and plot simply aren’t there, and this tale of brotherly love simply lacks the punch of the better walking simulators on the market today.

    My brother lives in a canyon is a short but interesting game. It relies entirely on it’s voice acting and story as it is a pure walking simMy brother lives in a canyon is a short but interesting game. It relies entirely on it’s voice acting and story as it is a pure walking sim and luckily those are pretty good. You start off basically walking in a canyon on your way to meet your brother and you just continue walking as you listen to the brother’s conversations. I had sort of guessed the twist of the story but even so it didn’t unfold exactly as I had imagined so I was still a little surprised. The voice acting was good for what it was. It felt like a natural conversation between people, not so polished but that worked for it. I felt the end came on a little suddenly as it just ends abruptly. Some more detail could have been added to that but at the same time my imagination can also fill in the blanks. The graphics were an interesting style. Kind of like a grainy cell shading quality to them. It was different that’s for sure and while it wasn’t a technical marvel it set it apart from other games. The music was a nice peaceful tune that didn’t force itself into the foreground.

    I played my brother lives in a canyon on Linux. It never crashed on me and I didn’t notice any bugs. The game has a V-Sync toggle and a low graphics option along picking your resolution. The performance was technically all over the place but it wasn’t a big issue. The frame rates would jump all the way from the 40’s to 144 and everywhere in between despite not much going on but thankfully due to the nature of the game it didn’t feel laggy at all. There is no save option in game but it is very short so this isn’t as big deal. Alt-tab doesn’t work.

    I would say that this was a solid game. It had good voice acting and a good story. The graphics won’t wow you but were pretty in their own way. The game ends abruptly and could use more detail but it is made by one person. I finished the game in 11 minutes. I paid $6.51 CAD for it and felt that was a fair price. The strengths of the game will make me take notice of the developer because the story was worth the shortcomings.
