Brothers: A Tale of two sons is a critically acclaimed adventure game. It has the story pattern that's filled with a lot of fantasy, and fictitious creatures. There are a lot of beautiful moments to describe even if we consider it as a story.

So here I tried to make it a gameplay fiction based this game. The game uses some kind of a distinctive language, which's just made for the game. All the character's talks in that language. So here in this fiction, I tried to write the dialogues in English and made some little changes in the dialogues to for the depth of the story.

You can find the game at the Steam Store

A little boat is shaking in the rain, This little kid is on it, he's crying and lending his hand to the water. Somone's drowning.

"Naiee Naiee..."

It's a woman's voice, A hand came top of the water. It's his mom, tears are coming out of him, due to his helplessness. He tries to pull her to the boat, but he couldn't. A thunder rumbles, his mother drowns.

Peculiar sunlight reflected in his eyes, it's a heavenly feel. He's at the top of a cliff, the river below him reflected the sunshine around there. There's a tombstone in front of him. He looked at it, his eyes are filling with tears. Suddenly he saw something strange on this Tombstone, something's coming out of it. The air around it formed a woman's shape, it's his mother. She walked towards him and touched him.

"Naiee Naiee".....

Now it's a boys voice calling him, but he's still looking at his mother. In the next second, she again vanished in the air. It made a sad expression on his face.

"Naiee Naiee..."

The voice again started calling, he looked back.

"Naia Naia....", he calls back. He identified it, it's his brother. Naiee looked at his brother from the top of the cliff, it's his brother and father. They are in front of their house. He ran down towards them from the cliff. His mind already detected that it's some sad news. He couldn't bear tragedy anymore. He still has regrets about being not capable of saving his mother.

He's panting while he reached in front of their house. Their father is groaning and his one hand is at his stomach, Naiee realised that he's very ill. He was shocked, the worst is happening again, all the past memories flashed in his mind.

"Naiee what are you thinking?, Come and hold him. We need to get him at the Villiage Doctor."
His brother said, he's holding their father on the shoulders.

Naiee came out of his thoughts. He looked at them and walked towards them to hold his father.

"No No... We can't hold him and take him towards the Doctor like this. Take that Wheelbarrow, we need to put him on it. Holding on the father's shoulders they put him on the wheelbarrow. He laid on it, he's still in the pain. The whole scenario is filled with the helplessness of the two kids. They were both not ready to lose their father, they couldn't bear that.

The ran towards each of the sides and held strong on the handles. This action was filled with their complete desire to save their father even whatever happens. It was the hillside, the Doctor's house was on the other side of the hill. A river with pure water is flowing in between them. There's a wooden platform to cross and reach the Doctor's house.

The Wheelbarrow started moving down the hill, they are taking all their effort to reach the doctors. They made strong footsteps, finally, now they are near the wooden platform, which works as kind of a bridge. They took their father towards the wooden platform. Once they reached there, Naia ran towards the liver which was on the left side, to move the platform to the other side they have to push the liver.

Naia gets a hold on that, he knew that he needed to push it, he's the only stronger one left. Giving all his power he turns the liver and with a creaking sound, the platform reaches the other side of the bridge. Naia comes back and holds the wheelbarrow, then moves it to the other side.

One more problem left in their way to reach the Doctor's house. The Doctor's house was little on top of the plane where the wooden platform reached. Both brothers stood in confusion, then the Naiyee saw the liver on top of the other wooden platform to reach the Doctor's.

They both pulled the wheelbarrow and placed it on the platform. They knew that they could easily go above it and push the liver. Naia founds a comfortable place to jump up, it was a little hard for him.

"Naiee come, I will hold you. Go up and throw me that rope". Then he pointed his hand towards the rope which was little on their right side.

"Naia, You go on the wooden platform, I could push the liver."

"No, you can't. Do as what I say". Naia raises his voice a little bit.

Then Naia bent a little bit and held his hands together as a strong step for his brother to reach the top. Naiee puts his legs on that and easily gone up. Then he threw the rope towards Naia. Naia holds the rope and went on top of the hill.

Their father was still groaning, they both ran towards the liver and rolled the liver by standing on each side of the liver. The wooden platform came up, Then they ran fast and moved the wheelbarrow towards the house.

Hearing that creaking sound of wooden platform and the groaning of their father, the doctor came outside.

"What happened to him?" Doctor asked them in the next moment he saw them.

"Suddenly a pain started, he was walking with me along the hill" Naia replied.

"Ok, we don't have the time to waste, hold him and walk him towards the bed inside. I need to check".

Naia held his father on the shoulders and took him towards the bed inside. Nayee walked along with him.

Now their father is on the bed, Doctor started looking all around his body. His temperature was high.

"He's highly infected, so it's that making the stomach and chest pain. It's hard to treat this kind of a situation, you are too late" Doctor said the boys this with a sad face.

Naiee was losing his hope, he looked at his brother.

"Don't say that Doctor. There will something we could do to save him. We can't leave him. He' the only one left for us." Naia's words were like a complete grown-up.

"There's a way kid. But it's too hard for the kids like you. It's a hard path." The doctor was hesitant to say it, he knew that the kids would do anything to save their father.

"Tell us, doctor, we could do it" It was Naiee who said it. Naia looked at his little brother's face and after that, he gave a look to Doctor which conveyed the whole message.

The doctor knew that there's nothing left to do. He turned back and took something kind of a rolled map from his shelves. He took it, opened it and looked at it for a second.

"This what you need to find out for curing your father". Then he showed it to the brothers.

"What's this?", Nayee asked.

" The Tree of Life"
