Actions speak louder than words.

<span class="bold">Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons</span>, an emotional adventure about two boys on a journey of self-discovery, is available now, DRM-free on GOG.com, with a 66% launch discount.

Life has not been kind to these two young lads. While they're still trying to cope with their mother's loss, tragedy hits them anew: Their dad has taken ill and only the magical "Water of Life" can save him. Now, a spectacular journey lies ahead of the two brothers, a journey full of wondrous discoveries, unexpected friendships, beautiful locales, and powerful moments. To survive the emotional and physical challenges they must rely on each other but also in what makes them unique. There is no need for words - only this special bond that makes even the most incompatible of siblings operate in unison and silently express their affection through great acts of bravery and self-sacrifice.

Journey through a fantasy land full of challenges that can only be overcome with the selfless cooperation exercised by <span class="bold">Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons</span>, DRM-free on GOG.com.
The 66% discount will last until October 7, 9:59 AM UTC.

JKeift: As noted in the product's page, "Dual-stick Controller required." Don't even try to play this one with KB+M.
Controller is clearly the better option but just for the record, I did finish the game just fine using M+K. There were a couple of tricky parts but nothing that prevented me from loving it to bits :)

Leroux: Really? How did you manage those parts that required turning a crank? When I tried playing it with keyboard I couldn't get past the very first area at all because it seemed not only very tedious but also next to impossible to do. With the gamepad this was no problem at all.

Even if you're somehow able to do it nevertheless, I wouldn't recommend anyone to play it with keyboard controls. This game needs to be played with a gamepad (an XInput gamepad specifically), and GOG should make that more evident on the gamepage. It's not much fun otherwise and you'll also miss out on a core experience that the game is centered on. It's just doesn't feel the same with keyboard.

And I don't say this as a gamepad fanboy, but as someone who was burned by ignoring these warnings, thinking I could play it with PS2 controllers or mouse and keyboard. I actually bought my XBox360 controller grudgingly because of this game - so it turned out much more expensive than I anticipated. :P (Of course now I use it for other games as well.)
I just kept ctrl and spacebar pressed, it turns by itself only very slowly :D
