Evaluation

Embracelet launched on September 24, 2020 as a complete, self-contained narrative adventure. The only post-launch content was the official soundtrack, released the same day as the game. There have been no expansions, updates adding new content, or announcements of future content for the game itself. The sole developer, Mattis Folkestad, posted on September 14, 2025 to announce an entirely new and separate game — Cascadou — describing it as his "next game." This confirms that Embracelet's development is finished and the developer has moved on to a new project. Embracelet was clearly designed and released as a complete, finished experience.

About this game

Embrace the journey

Embracelet is a heartfelt, narrative-driven puzzle adventure set on a breathtaking, low-poly island in Northern Norway.

You play as Jesper, a 17-year-old city boy who is handed a heavy responsibility: an old, magical bracelet passed down from his grandfather. Gifted with strange, telekinetic powers, Jesper must travel to his grandfather’s childhood home, the fading fishing community of Slepp, to unravel the mystery behind the artifact.

Who does it belong to? Where did its magic come from? And why did his grandfather leave the island behind?

Solve Magical Puzzles

Use the bracelet’s mysterious powers to manipulate the world around you. Solve light, physics-based puzzles by moving objects, fixing machinery, and helping the island's quirky residents. With a gentle, forgiving difficulty curve, the gameplay is designed to be a relaxing, stress-free experience.

A Coming-of-Age Story

As you explore the island, you'll become entangled in the lives of the locals, including two other teenagers: Hermod and Karoline. Form deep friendships, navigate teenage romance, and make choices that dictate how your story unfolds. Embracelet tackles themes of love, loss, family, and the clash between old rural traditions and new industries.

Key Features:

  • Explore Northern Norway: Wander through a gorgeous, stylized low-poly world inspired by real Norwegian landscapes.

  • The Power is in Your Hands: Use the magical bracelet to solve satisfying, stress-free puzzles.

  • Choices Matter: Navigate branching dialogue, ethical dilemmas, and romance options that influence the outcome of your story.

  • A Beautiful Soundtrack: Lose yourself in a stunning, atmospheric original score.

  • Short and sweet: 3-6 hours of playtime.

  • From an Award-Winning Developer: The singular work of Mattis Folkestad, the solo creator behind the critically acclaimed adventure game Milkmaid of the Milky Way.

Best played with a game controller, like an Xbox one, Dualshock or Nintendo Pro Controller in a sofa or a comfy chair.
