Introducing: Ly (again?!)

One primary theme in Wilderbrook is "coming of age". And throughout the game, we plan to show you just that -- Ly's coming of age. We want you to experience it firsthand right alongside the main character, and maybe even remember some of your very own journey through the earliest stages of your own life.

Ly is a member of a special race called the Tietoa (roughly translating to "information" or "knowledge" in Finnish). Their name suits them: at their eldest state, they are the great bearers of all the world's knowledge.

However, they don't start out as all-knowing, towering creatures. Instead, they are born from small fruits planted in the ground. These fruits grow up into the Ti, which are very small, furry creatures like in our last post. Each of them is tasked with a special quest that is at first unknown to them. As they discover the many facets of the world around them, they eventually grow into the Ei, much like a human grows into a teenager.

The Ei are much taller, stronger and more nimble than the Ti. Consequently, and much like a human teenager, they are also more emotional.


The Tietoa have poor eyesight. They often operate on an immensely-powerful internal instinct.


Stay tuned for our next post, where we'll touch on many of Wilderbrook's gameplay mechanics!
