BrAd: A game about spelling

BrAd is just a student—lost in a world where words fail him and misfortune reigns. Struggling with literacy and burdened by a heavy heart, he embarks on a surreal quest to confront the Māori god of death and misfortune, the source of a spreading sadness infecting the world.

Fight through hand-crafted maps, face relentless enemies and towering bosses, and uncover the meaning behind BrAd’s pain. This is more than just a game—it’s a fight to reclaim hope from the grip of despair.
