Story:

The story begins with a boy named Naiee standing at the tombstone of his dead mother who drowned at sea while he was unable to save her. After the ghost of his mother comforts him, his older brother, Naia, calls him to help their ill father reach the village's doctor who, in turn, tells them the only way to save him is by collecting the water from the Tree of Life. The brothers embark on their journey through the village, hills and mountains while facing challenges such as the local bully, a farmer's aggressive dog, and deadly wolves. They help others along the way – reuniting a troll couple, saving a man attempting suicide, and aiding an inventor.

The brothers eventually encounter a savage group of tribesmen and save a young girl from being sacrificed. While assisting the brothers on their journey, the girl begins seducing Naia, much to Naiee's dismay, and tricks them into entering a cave. Once inside, she reveals herself as a monstrous spider creature who tries to eat the brothers, but they manage to thwart and kill her by pulling off her legs, but not before she mortally wounds Naia. Nearing the end of their journey, the brothers reach the Tree of Life; Naia insists that Naiee venture on to reach the top of the tree. Naiee collects the Water of Life but, as he returns to the bottom, he finds that Naia has already died from his wound. Unable to revive him using the water, Naiee buries and grieves for his older brother before returning to the village.

Upon reaching the shoreline, Naiee must face his inability to swim in order to get the waters to his dying father. His mother's spirit appears to comfort and motivate him and, with Naia's spiritual guidance, Naiee is able to force himself to swim to the village. He is able to give the doctor the water, and the father recovers from his illness overnight. A short time afterwards, Naiee and his father mourn at the tombstones of both the mother and Naia.

Player Comments:

This is actually the perfect game for mobile. The simple interface means you don't have to keep track of numerous on screen buttons. The autosave allows you to jump right back into the most recent puzzle. I ran into a couple bugs (had to play last chapter twice to see the end, for some reason), but I'm willing to forgive it. The game runs 3-4 hours.

What an excellent combination of storytelling and gameplay.. I was utterly astounded by the depth of this game. I am actually at a loss for words to describe the unique experience of playing it. I didn't have much issues with the performance or controls - seems to be a well-executed console port.

This game is absolutely freaking Awesome. The storyline is on point and the hand-eye coordination between both brothers is excellent for keeping you on your toes. The ending broke my heart but not every fairy tale has a happy ending. I first played this game 7 or 8 years ago with my husband. I was so addicted, it only took me 10 hours to complete the game. Strongly recommend everyone play this game!! I'm still wondering if there is going to be a second game or something!?!?

My personal settings recommendation : On Control - 'buttons' instead of 'touch and hold' That'd make this game extra smooth imo, hehe, other than that, just excellent. Oh yeah, if you've got stuck or there's an error, just restart the game, it'll fix itself when you come back and play it again.

This is by far the best game on Google play by far, I absolutely loved it!!!! Fantastic graphics,fantastic storyline,fantastic everything!!!! It has everything and alot I was surprised by. It truly is a must have!!!! I want more. I didnt want it to end it was so good and I'm not one for writing reviews but this was soooo incredibly good I had too. Love,love,loved it!!!!!!!!

Walkthrough:

Prologue

After the opening cutscene, the two brothers should work together to move the wheelbarrow along the path and onto a large wooden platform. Leave him here for now and go down the stone steps until you reach water. Follow the beach until you find a small pile of stones, then use them Take a Break.

Return up to your father. Have big brother move the large lever to transport the wooden platform across the gap. Move your father onto the next wooden platform. Both go over to the ladder, and have big brother hold out his hands so little brother can climb and jump up to the ladder. Little brother should then push the rope down, so big brother can climb up. Get both brothers to work the winch together to lift up the elevator. At the top, they need to work together to move the wheelbarrow towards the doctor's house.

Leave the house and go down the path to the bridge, but the boy here will not let you cross. Slide down towards the water, where you discover that little brother can't swim. Little brother must hold onto big brother as he swims along the river to the next small beach.

Climb up the vines, and the boy will block your path again. Go straight ahead and jump up the rock face using the small platforms. Run and jump up the grassy ledges, then jump up to the wall in front of you. Shimmy along to the left, then drop down into the village together.

Climb up over the grain silos, then up the rope netting and along some wooden platforms. Walk over the roofs and slide down to be trapped again by the boy. Have little brother sneak between the iron bars and use a winch to let a dog free, chasing the boy away. Go through the archway and turn left from where the boy is now trapped.

Go up the stairs and ahead to a bridge that is raised so you cannot cross it. Have little brother wake up the sleeping man, then have big brother show the map to him. Once the bridge is lowered, go across.

Chapter 1

Run forward along the path to see a girl playing with a basketball. Have little brother steal the ball, run back along the path and put it in the well Wishing Well.

Continue forward along the path. Push open a gate so you can continue over a bridge, then continue further until you reach a recently sown hay field. A vicious dog comes to guard the field. You need to have the brothers work together to get across the field - use one to distract the dog, then have the other quickly run and climb up to a ledge or hay bale. Repeat the process until you both reach the other side.

Slide down the rocky slope and cross a stream, then climb up the vines to reach a higher ledge. Run and jump over the platforms, then have big brother hold out his hands so little brother can climb and jump up to the ladder. Little brother should then push the rope down, so big brother can climb up. Jump up the rock face using the small platforms. Go up to the wooden platform and get little brother to free the bird from the cage.

Find a running wheel next to a raised bridge. Have little brother run constantly within the wheel and the bridge will lower. Big brother should now cross over, pick up a sheep, and bring it back towards the running wheel. Little brother can now get out of the wheel, so that big brother can put the sheep into the running wheel.

Have big brother go and pick up another sheep, then carry it over the bridge and down along the path to find a burnt-out campfire. Drop the sheep into the ashes Black Sheep. While you are here, have little brother pick up the white bunny and drop it into the ashes Bunny Buddies.

Now go back up and over the bridge. Follow the path beyond this, going around a narrow ledge to where you will meet a giant. Follow the giant and let him throw you up to a higher platform. Wait here so that the giant can lift you up to a ledge, then climb around the ledge and up to the next platform. When the giant forms a bridge for you, walk over him to the other side. Climb up a few times, then climb up the vines. Jump up, then shimmy left over the giant's arms.

Go forward to the edge of this platform, and the giant will throw you across the gap. Climb up the vines and around the ledge here, then climb up to stand on the ledge. Jump up, shimmy left and climb up again. Now go forward to the giant, who will jump down, carrying you with him.

Get big brother to swim across the water with little brother holding onto his back. Climb up the rocks and go through the narrow tunnel.

Chapter 2

Follow the path until you reach a gate. Send little brother through the bars of the gate to operate the crank, so that big brother can also come through to the other side. Follow the path until you reach a giant waterwheel. Grab onto this, then let go when you are over the stone platform below. Make your way over a series of stone platforms until you reach some large machinery.

Continue up the stairs to find a large rod. Pick this up, then gradually carry it back down the stairs so you can place it in the turning gear to block it. You can now cross over the water. Head down the next stairs to find a fork-shaped device. Push the bar to each of the 2 end points to extend the two halves of a bridge. Go around and cross this bridge, then continue along the path until you reach another giant waterwheel.

Have big brother hold out his hands so little brother can climb and jump up to the ladder. Little brother should then go up the next steps, then jump and hold onto the chain to stop the waterwheel. While it is stopped, big brother can climb up the waterwheel to rejoin little brother, who can safely drop from the chain.

Continue upwards, taking the path that leads over and away from the fountain and pool, and you will reach another bar that you need to push together. This will activate some moving suspended chains. Have each brother hold onto a chain to ride it to the next platform. Big brother can give little brother a boost up to climb the nearby ladder. Little brother then needs to turn the crank while big brother rides a chain to the next platform. Repeat this with a second crank and a second chain ride.

When big brother reaches the next platform, get little brother onto the ledge above him, and have him grab the high chain - now big brother can move the handle to swing up to the next ledge. Little brother then needs to turn one more crank while big brother rides another chain. At the next stop, big brother should move the handle to swing a chain so that little brother can catch it, then move the handle back so the brothers are reunited.

Climb up some stone ledges, then up some vines. Shimmy across and jump sideways over a gap, then drop down again. The door he is blocked, so climb up over it. Shimmy right and jump over the gap to reach the next ledge. Both grip onto the bars for a ride, then immediately run to the right as the bridge collapses. You will eventually reach a giant trapped in a cage.

The large lever doesn't work because there is a lock on the cage. Go over to the opposite gate, then have little brother slip between the bars. Sneak around the piles of bones and steal the key from the guard, then sneak back and use the key on the lock. Now big brother can pull the lever and the giant will escape. As soon as the guard arrives, have little brother squeeze through the bars into the cage, and have big brother return up to the lever. Pull the lever to open the door on the cage - when the guard gets inside, immediately release the lever and have little brother sneak out again, trapping the guard.

Climb up the chain provided by the giant. Follow her, then go down the stairs. Push the bar to the right forward position and wait for the giant to exit the platform. Now push the bar to the left forward position. Go up the next steps and over the platform, through the gate that is held open by the giant.

The guard will now return. Keep big brother next to the lever, and have little brother drop down and starting avoiding the guard. Lure the guard to run into each of the 3 chains that are holding the trapdoor shut. Now lure the guard over the trapdoor and have big brother pull the lever. Quickly get both brother down to step on the guard's hands to make him fall. Go over to the giant and he will lift you up so you can leave the cave. Head down the path.
