Developers Sever and Schisma Games have announced that The Life and Suffering of Sir Brante is free to keep on Steam until July 23, ahead of “a brand-new narrative RPG set in the same universe.” And if you add the game to your library now, you’ll even be given a launch discount for The Life and Suffering of Prince Jerian when it launches on July 20.
For the unaware, The Life and Suffering of Sir Brante is a choice-driven narrative RPG told through a hand-drawn diary that follows protagonist Sir Brante from the moment of his birth to the moment of his death. Set against the backdrop of the Arknian Empire, you play as a commoner with no rights or title who must overcome “ossified tradition and prejudice” to take your place as the rightful heir to the Brante family.
The Life and Suffering of Sir Brante is also coming to Nintendo Switch & Switch 2 on July 20.
The game was a critical hit when it launched in 2021, amassing an overall ‘Very Positive’ review score on Steam, and an aggregate Metacritic score of 82. Reviewers praised its “brilliantly written story” and “artful monochrome,” highlighting its “enthralling” world-building and “sprawling lore”. Players likewise noted the "incredible setting" and political intrigue, though reviews also warned that it's not so much a choose-your-own-adventure as it is a "calculate your adventure."

The Life and Suffering of Sir Brante is typically $19.99, so it’s a steep discount well worth picking up, even if just to add to that Summer Sale backlog.
“Whether you’ve been curious about the game for a long time or have only recently discovered it, now is the perfect time to begin your journey,” the team said in a new blog post. “Once you’ve added the game to your library, it will remain yours forever—even after the promotion ends. Don’t miss the chance to experience this dark and immersive story completely free.
“If you enjoy the game, there’s even more to look forward to: on July 20, a brand-new narrative RPG set in the same universe, The Life and Suffering of Prince Jerian, will be released [...] This is not a sequel or a spin-off, but a completely new story with a new protagonist. Instead of following the life of an ordinary man struggling against the system, you will take on the role of Prince Jerian, heir to the throne of the Blessed Arknian Empire.”
The Life and Suffering of Prince Jerian is available to wishlist now, with a free demo also available for download.
