The briefing

About this game

Brave: The Search for Spirit Dancer follows Brave, a young Native American boy training to become a warrior. After the village is attacked by the demonic Wendigo, Brave must follow the path of the mysterious shaman Spirit Dancer and uncover a way to defeat the evil force.

Gameplay

This 3D third-person platformer combines free-roaming exploration with puzzles and quests. Brave can jump, duck, climb, and perform basic attacks, while a first-person view is available for observation, certain actions, and ranged weapons.

As the adventure progresses, Brave gains abilities that let him track creatures by smell or footprints, mimic animal sounds to lure or distract them, summon creatures, and use shaman powers to transform into an eagle, bear, rabbit, or skunk.

The adventure spans themed environments including an ice world, volcanic world, wastelands, and forest. Some areas become accessible only after specific quests are solved.
