Steam Big Picture

About This Game

• Newly added Steam Cloud support
  Save your in-progress game to the cloud, then play where you left off from on any Steam connected computer.
  
• Forgiving yet challenging gameplay:
  Braid is a 2-D platform game where you can never die and never lose. Despite this, Braid is challenging — but the challenge is about solving puzzles, rather than forcing you to replay tricky jumps.
  
• Rich puzzle environment:
  Travel through a series of worlds searching for puzzle pieces, then solving puzzles by manipulating time: rewinding, creating parallel universes, setting up pockets of dilated time. The gameplay feels fresh and new; the puzzles are meant to inspire new ways of thinking.
  
• Aesthetic design:
  A painterly art style and lush, organic soundtrack complement the unique gameplay.
  
• Nonlinear story:
  A nonlinear fiction links the various worlds and provides real-world metaphors for your time manipulations; in turn, your time manipulations are projections of the real-world themes into playful "what-if" universes where consequences can be explored.
  
• Nonlinear gameplay:
  The game doesn't force you to solve puzzles in order to proceed. If you can't figure something out, just play onward and return to that puzzle later.
