About Braid

Overview

Manipulate the flow of time and explore the paradox of human existence in the lush, painterly world of Braid.

From your house in the city, leaving on a quest to rescue the Princess, you’ll journey through a series of worlds and solve many puzzles. In each world, you have a different power to affect the way time behaves, including the ability to rewind, create parallel realities, and utilize time dilation.

There is no filler in this game; every puzzle shows you something new and interesting about the game world.

Braid treats your time and attention as precious.

Features

• Untraditional platforming: You can never die and never lose, but challenge is always present and focused on solving puzzles, rather than forcing you to play and replay tricky jumps.
• Puzzle-rich environment: Travel through a series of worlds searching for puzzle pieces and solving puzzles by manipulating time: rewinding, creating parallel universes and setting up pockets of dilated time. The gameplay is always fresh and new and the puzzles inspire new ways of thinking.
• Aesthetic design: A painterly art style and lush, organic soundtrack complement the unique gameplay.
• Non-linear story: A nonlinear fiction links the various worlds and provides real-world metaphors for your time manipulations; act out real-world themes at your own pace, exploring playful ‘what if’ universes.
• Forgiving gameplay: The game doesn’t force you to solve puzzles in order to proceed. If you can’t figure something out, just play onward and return to that puzzle later.
