In Brave Bear, you are a teddy bear. In the tradition of Toy Story, you can walk and communicate with all of the other toys and devices in the house. The game is short and simple. You are walking around the house. In each room, there is a dark phantom (each representing things like insecurity and depression) that you must defeat in order to continue on your way. Some of the phantoms you can defeat on your own because you’re a brave bear. Others are going to require you to make friends and get help from the other toys in the house.
It’s a cute game, ideal for it you’re looking for something that you can play quickly. There are puzzles and puzzles are traditionally my downfall but, for once, I was able to solve most of them on my own. And if you do find yourself stuck, there’s a walk-through. It’s a simple game but who doesn’t like a brave bear?
