Brand

 Brand is a customization game hidden in a 2d action game. The player is tasked with a very simple goal: he is handed a sword and asked to "Make this sword fit for a king". In order to do so, he must get help from the Mage, the Smith and the Chemist to temper the sword until it is deemed strong enough to do a final test. The three of them will send the player to face monsters in a steampunk castle, an alexandrite mine and a necropolis to do some favors for them in exchange for their services. The player has a wide array of choices in how to upgrade his sword, and these upgrades directly affect the player's abilities, so that every new game offers something different. Without trying to be a parody or a comedic game, it doesn't take itself too seriously and feature a slightly humorous tone. A game should last for a few hours, but the high replayability will make up for it.
