Gunbrella starts on a boat. It is an innocuous start, as the main character steams through the pixelated waters to reach the dock and the beginning of developer Doinksoft's demo for the game. Even after the first 20 minutes of playing, it still feels more light-hearted mystery than menacing. Only near the end does the tone shift and give a glimpse of the dark forces within, cumulating with a fight against a boss that is downright unnerving in its movements, ferocity, and gore. Mysteries are stacked on top of other mysteries, and it's up to the player to find answers. So begins the tale of the man who wields the Gunbrella.
