Fun fact: The troll turning to stone at the end has mythological basis! In Nordic folklore, some landmarks like mountains were said to be trolls exposed to sunlight, them having turned to stone due to the day. This is most likely why Nordic trolls are usually depicted with grey, stone-like skin, but that's just a guess of mine.
Additional Fun Fact: In an old Nordic tale, Thor's daughter was kidnapped by a troll to become his bride. So Thor essentially went to the weeding ceremony and kept the troll talking for so long that the sun came up causing the troll to turn to stone freeing Thor's daughter from the wedding.
It is so nice seeing the smal details, the shoes are suposed to depict the wood shoe/slipper that was used in the nordics. As a scandinavian person and a HUGE fable nerd this game is so fun to watch.
The gnomes were so hella adorable and I was upset seeing them die from the traps and that aftermath of the rescue 😭😭😭😭😭 that part where Olle had to dodge that cleaver too oh lawd
It's like Little Nightmares meets Lord of the Rings combined with a grim fairy tales aesthetic. I really liked it and would definitely want to see an entire playthrough.
8:45 the song is called "kullning", it's a very old traditional Swedish art form used to rally and co-ordinate kettle. You can watch Jonna Jinton explain this further. It's literal goosebumps.
This game is gonna make me weep. YOU CAN’T MAKE THE GNOMES SOUND LIKE BABIES AND EXPECT ME TO NOT CARE FOR THEM! I’m gonna need a box of tissues going further.
I think this game takes place in Denmark, since Denmark is a nordic country, and if you split "Lillemor" into "Lille mor" it'll mean little mother in danish, also Olle is a name used in Denmark, though I've never met anyone calle Olle
Danskjävel, in all seriousness though, I think it takes place in sweden since Olle is a swedish name and it says "Svenska tändstickor" on the matches. But it still makes sense that you think that it is in denmark as our culture is pretty much the same!
older sister / younger brother stuffs always warms my heart especially its solely focused on their relationship man... purifying selection, genetic purging, strengthening of co-adaptive gene complex
28:24 Platypus? 29:05 PLATYPUS ARMY!! And I feel so bad for the gnomes/trolls, they look so cute tho! Little tiny babies- I CAN HEAR IT CRYING AAAAAAA MY HEART CANT TAKE IT
I just generally loved how the beginning is looks friendly and adorable in the sunny day with the little gnomes like it was based for little kids game, but in night the trolls came out the dark and kidnapping the gnomes and killed them all, like it was rated R.
I would recommend just looking into videos made by people that are actually swedish/Scandinavian if you're really interested in the "creatures". It can be hard to talk about a culture that isn't your own so I would not be surprised if he happens to get some info wrong if he does a lore video that includes info on the mythology
This is such a beautiful game!! And it totally reminds me of The Witcher, particularly the Blood and Wine DLC of the Witcher 3 where you have to make your way through the fairytale storybook that comes to life, and there are horror and cutesy elements mixed in together, its totally like that!! Loving this and I will totally play the game myself too
Your gameplay and commentary for the demo sold me on this game. I have been so hyped for its release. I have not watched your videos on it because I want to play it myself first. Haven't had the chance, but want to leave comments on your video to support you. I'm so glad you covered this demo so I know what a could videos I have to look forward to watching. Amazing work!
Swedish gang! Right? its so amazing! what stuns me the most the the environment, theres so many flowers and berries and stuff youre so fimiliar with thats so fun to see! and i rlly love the small details like the rlly oldschool swedish names and the fact that they even speak a little swedish from time to time ^^ this game is such a delight, i couldnt agree more!
The demo was very captivating, so I'm excited for the full release. I know it's based on Nordic folklore, but it reminds me a bit of the Slavic myths of my home, so nice.
I really enjoyed the game. I love that it mixed Nordic Folklore with Horror, both blended really well together. Some a pervious comment, I agree with the story books giving off RE8 vibes. I'm from the UK and part of a Pagan group and we discussed some folklore, so I'm familiar with some of these. Awesome video.
This game is probably, maybe, (massively) inspired by little nightmare, the troll with the bag is like the janitor, the butcher troll is like the cook, the creature living inside the pile of meats is the creature in the pile of shoe, the concept of huge creature hunting down small things / creature, the gnomes
This really looks interesting. I love games that have you as a small creature walking around, that is one of the reasons the old MUSHROOM MEN game for the WII was so terrifying :D also the storyteller sounds like Galadriel.
I find it funny how she pronounces "Lillemor", btw the name means "Little mother", which I know some girls were called in the past in Denmark, not sure why, but I've seen it in old movies/series.
why is that one troll scene an exact copy of the Hunter from little nightmares? Think about it, a tiny child avoiding a monster by staying out of his light while hiding behind bits of grass which then leads to child into water? There’s also bear traps too.
Hey man! I didn't think that you'd put out aa new video so quick! I really like this game too (its both adorable AND creepy) I hope that you'll enjoy your holiday by the way.
So happy to see you play and enjoy this Mike! Hope you can have a great holiday, if anyone deserves it it's you; thank you for all your hard work! This game has an odd nostalgic feel to it for me; it's like someone took my favorite childhood stories such as "Tomtebobarnen"/"Children of the forest" and mixed them with Nightmare on Elmstreet horror (I even think the protagonists are named after the song "Mors lilla Olle"). I grew up on stories in this setting, often depicting children having adventures in miniature form in the woods, meeting strange creatures both friendly and unfriendly. While the stories were nowhere near as violent as this, the folklore I have studied as an adult makes it feel quite on brand. Super excited to see how this game continues and to hear your thoughts on it! ❤
I just noticed that at the start there are the berry-people at the backround Also I found one of the collectible statues.. It's in the treehouse where the key was
My current theory is that the children weren’t shrunken down, but were actually transported to a magical real where all folklore creatures like trolls, gnomes, etc come from. In that world, the giant things like trolls are normal sized but they are big in our world.
Mike is SUCH an underrated youtuber!!!!!!! I hope you starting getting the views and subbies you deserve!!!!!!❤❤❤ Thanks for this play though I can't wait!!!!!😁😁😁

So that’s where JRR Tolkien got that from!

So does most of the game! Literally everyone (except seemingly the karrhaxen).
The little detail of Olle's shoe slipping off the back of his heal was a good little thing to spot when he was climbing outta the trolls hand
But the real question is how his shoes stayed on
It is so nice seeing the smal details, the shoes are suposed to depict the wood shoe/slipper that was used in the nordics. As a scandinavian person and a HUGE fable nerd this game is so fun to watch.

I tell ya, Little Nightmares really created a genre in horror gaming: Giant monsters hunting small children/people.
edp445
Yuuup
what's the genres name?
@@M1m1k_xgiant monsters chasing people
True
32:50
Is nobody gonna talk about how good that Snarl/Groan sounded!?
I WAS ABOUTTA SAY THAT
I'm a bit of a nut for European myths and legends, and I loved Little Nightmares, so seeing this fully release is great!
my understanding, what i can guess is that after going through the doorway and "becoming" small, they ended up in the "fairy' realm.
Thank god you're taking a break. Probably the most consistent "quality over quantity" youtuber I've seen. Well deserved 😄👍
Agreed he does a lot of posts and he is one of the best horror game RUclips channel well in my opinion
The most amazing is he does both quality and quantity, frequent posts and never bad quality or less interesting ones, it's impressive
it's both quality and quantity
The whole time all I could think was DANGGG the graphics are just- WOW
Chefs kiss incredible
Im in love with the photography after the boy fell on the river, the light upon the flowery landscape
This game is gonna make me weep. YOU CAN’T MAKE THE GNOMES SOUND LIKE BABIES AND EXPECT ME TO NOT CARE FOR THEM! I’m gonna need a box of tissues going further.
I think this game takes place in Denmark, since Denmark is a nordic country, and if you split "Lillemor" into "Lille mor" it'll mean little mother in danish, also Olle is a name used in Denmark, though I've never met anyone calle Olle
By reading the text on the matchbox which says " Svenska tändstickor " ( Swedish matchens) I'm pretty sure it's taking place in Sweden.
@@bunbuntheevil Close enough
yeah its definitely sweden! they even speak in clear swedish from time to time wich is so cute and fun to hear
Danskjävel, in all seriousness though, I think it takes place in sweden since Olle is a swedish name and it says "Svenska tändstickor" on the matches. But it still makes sense that you think that it is in denmark as our culture is pretty much the same!
@@Scaryland42 yeah, I was a little off
older sister / younger brother stuffs always warms my heart
especially its solely focused on their relationship
man...
purifying selection, genetic purging, strengthening of co-adaptive gene complex
28:24
Platypus?
29:05
PLATYPUS ARMY!!
And I feel so bad for the gnomes/trolls, they look so cute tho!
Little tiny babies- I CAN HEAR IT CRYING AAAAAAA
MY HEART CANT TAKE IT
At 43:15 when you fall onto the pinecone, the song the dancing pinecones wire singing was the swedish version of the ”Happy birthday” song😭
man. little nightmares. that was when I actually found out about this channel. your videos have surprisingly changed my life!
I just generally loved how the beginning is looks friendly and adorable in the sunny day with the little gnomes like it was based for little kids game, but in night the trolls came out the dark and kidnapping the gnomes and killed them all, like it was rated R.
props to mike for making a few more vids before he goes on holiday, nice job mike have fun on your holiday!
I've been waiting for this ever since you played the demo! I was so intrigued by not only the art style but the lore it's based on as well!
I hope to see a lore video on the origins of the creatures.
I would recommend just looking into videos made by people that are actually swedish/Scandinavian if you're really interested in the "creatures".
It can be hard to talk about a culture that isn't your own so I would not be surprised if he happens to get some info wrong if he does a lore video that includes info on the mythology
oof, -mike would get so much flack for anything and everything he'd get wrong in that kind of video
This is such a beautiful game!!

Im from sweden so watching a game based on folklore im familiar with is such a delight 😊
I know your not lying because nobody casually uses the word “delight” except for Swedish people
Swedish gang! Right? its so amazing! what stuns me the most the the environment, theres so many flowers and berries and stuff youre so fimiliar with thats so fun to see! and i rlly love the small details like the rlly oldschool swedish names and the fact that they even speak a little swedish from time to time ^^ this game is such a delight, i couldnt agree more!
i really like how i recognize the flora and fauna too :>
Thanks! Your content is always awesome and a joy to watch. Please keep it up!
The storybook gave me RE8 vibes, for sure!
the voice talking to the player sounds like the storybook voice from re8 too!
Olle was happier to have found the stone than he would have been for finding his sister .
I’m sorry but I keep repeating 20:57 it’s to funny the way he said it so casual 😂
"slide on our ass"😎
Lmao 😂😂😂😂😂
The demo was very captivating, so I'm excited for the full release. I know it's based on Nordic folklore, but it reminds me a bit of the Slavic myths of my home, so nice.
Agreed! ^_^

I never heard of this game until now and it was visually stunning and a really cool story GAMING IS NOT DEAD
I've been waiting so long for this game!
oh wow, ive been waiting for this video after you played the demo. looking forward to see if you do a full playthrough on the game :)
17:08 Hej då = Good bye
As a swedish person i love seeing this
20:58- “slide on our ass”
*surprised pikachu face that mike curses*
24:30 "I'm just an English speaking heathen" Haha. Great game, i think you played the demo a little while ago
Wow this game is gorgeous
This game is probably, maybe, (massively) inspired by little nightmare, the troll with the bag is like the janitor, the butcher troll is like the cook, the creature living inside the pile of meats is the creature in the pile of shoe, the concept of huge creature hunting down small things / creature, the gnomes
25:20 Prince Naveen:it is not slime it is Mucus! 🐸🫅🏽
I am torn between wanting to watch the playthrough or waiting till I play it myself and then watching this
The dilemma
This has major little nightmare vibes... i mean the gnomes, the weird monsters, being tiny, meat choppers...
The scenes with the flesh and traps are scary.
THE GAMES OUT YAAAAAY
Really enjoyed watching this video, i cant wait for part 2 x
I can’t wait for analysis on this game, the older sister was definitely foolish lol nobody told her to go into the forest at night
The mother did in the beginning with the story book, but she clearly didn't listen to her. Kids are foolish, and she is a prime example of that.
As a swede i chuckled when you tried to pronounce Lillemor och Olle but atleast you tried.
Yay! I’m so happy this game is still being made❤❤
This really looks interesting. I love games that have you as a small creature walking around, that is one of the reasons the old MUSHROOM MEN game for the WII was so terrifying :D
also the storyteller sounds like Galadriel.
I find it funny how she pronounces "Lillemor", btw the name means "Little mother", which I know some girls were called in the past in Denmark, not sure why, but I've seen it in old movies/series.
Btw she didn't say the name wrong, she just makes it sound a bit more fancy
0:01 I like the fell of this game and it's style
Ami I the only one that noticed the troll's design change?
He's got hair!
Been waiting for this game full release :)
why is that one troll scene an exact copy of the Hunter from little nightmares? Think about it, a tiny child avoiding a monster by staying out of his light while hiding behind bits of grass which then leads to child into water? There’s also bear traps too.
I’ve been waiting a long time!
Hey man! I didn't think that you'd put out aa new video so quick! I really like this game too (its both adorable AND creepy) I hope that you'll enjoy your holiday by the way.
So happy to see you play and enjoy this Mike! Hope you can have a great holiday, if anyone deserves it it's you; thank you for all your hard work!

As someone who absolutely loves hedgehogs this game made me very happy 😊
Edit: .....nevermind......😢
35:15 just a regular day living life, excluding the sister and the sewer water part
I’m Swedish and it’s funny have this game feels like home the forest is the same.
My thought exactly. The forest just screams Sweden. It's genuinely well done
I love this game!! So pretty *-* have fun on holiday mike chan!
This game is seriously ripping my heart out with all these cute little gnome deaths 😢
"Everything rots" -
Amanda The Adventurer
Bro the item rotating be like resident evil fr (btw your vids are amazing shb!)
Okay this is definitely European based cuz as a European about 90 per cent of kids stories start with ' kid goes to forest, finds a monster'
I just noticed that at the start there are the berry-people at the backround
Also I found one of the collectible statues.. It's in the treehouse where the key was
8:30
And that's how Link became the holder of tri-force of courage
Your playthroughs are so interesting to watch.
The kid just reminds me of myself when I was a kid
28:24 literally my reaction to when I first saw The Groke in the 90s Moomins anime when I was a kid haha!
I just realized that that Troll isn't enjoying what he's doing he's showing no emotion at all, shows he's just a hunter in a cruel world
Beautiful game❤❤ Love your videos. Just a calming voice😊❤
I love how he sees a dead deer/buck and say it's a human creature
My current theory is that the children weren’t shrunken down, but were actually transported to a magical real where all folklore creatures like trolls, gnomes, etc come from. In that world, the giant things like trolls are normal sized but they are big in our world.
*realm
That slaming hande is a sine of angeziotey and forestation and anger wich you are facing and saying it
I don't know why, maybe because its a little kid and tiny baby gnomes, but these deaths really shock me.
Some of those gnomes are only babies too😢😢
6:56-6:59 you can actually see at the top of the roof at the left , one of those creepy dark mole creatures staring at him and then disappearing 00
This game is visually beautiful 😍 so sad and cute at the same time.
Oh God I just bought those where scelentons avrised by the ground but it was a mussy tree with a beartrape for an onlukey bear
Butcher/Cook, Hunter/Hunter, Shoe monster/Meat monster, Acorns/Leeches. Gnome/'Gnome', Six and Mono/These two.
Love this! I can’t wait for part 2.
6:00 In SG, they made us walk across a thick giant pipe, 2/F height, in order to reach the campsite.
That was a close one in dead
Mike is SUCH an underrated youtuber!!!!!!! I hope you starting getting the views and subbies you deserve!!!!!!❤❤❤
Thanks for this play though I can't wait!!!!!😁😁😁
I don't know what he could be that creature just reminds me of pigsur a demonic creature like pin head
New to your channel but I gotta say man, I love how you just allow yourself to enjoy the game without overthinking everything
Oh and as for the saturation that’s mostly in the light parts to enhance the feeling of peace to put you off at first
4:18 brave, stupid, foolish, crazy, they all go hand in hand at times
I hope you have a nice vacation mike :3
Have you noted haw he looks like sherek and a little like a aviator and he looks like a red devil
I can't believe when it seemed that Olle saved those gnomes they got stepped on my a troll. That's messed up!
I'm not joking when I said this I was telling someone about the game bramble then you DO THIS!!!! My life is Officially complete.
Ngl i am super intrigued to get this game, loved Little Nightmares and this is right up my street
15:45 that remark made me smile after a bad day so so far I love this!
Oh wow glad it came out and you got an early access before you go on holiday.
Lillemor, directly translated from danish to 'little mom' is usually a nickname given to a wife by her husband (and occasionally her child)
Aw how cute 😮.
I was gon post this but ya beat me to the chase og vis du er dansk er du sej
First God of War now this? AWESOME!
He's so modern. Kids just wanna go on an adventure and he's like "it's not safe". 😂
Thank you for playing Brambleeeeee
