50 of 50 · most liked firstThis reviewer won’t pretend to understand Little Brother Jim as a whole game. Driving and walking seem just about polar opposites, and the two halves never mix (but do share references.) And the walking is in a nonexistent, fantasy-based world of memories where a little brother has left dozens of letters from beyond the grave, and lakes have lighthouses and mailboxes are just about everywhere. Yes, the driving is simple, if a bit unusual. (Invisibility? Jumps? Block breaking? Deer dodging? And…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Little Brother Jim is an interesting game that is a bit of a departure from Mr. Bodur's previous titles. The story begins with a taxi/parking simulator that is colorful, fun, and challenging at times. I had little previous experience with driving games so I crashed into cones, left and right, as I built my skills up. By the end, I was speeding through turns and jumping over obstacles! In between the parking levels, there is a beautiful story about family, love, and the brevity of life. The…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Alright. Little Brother Jim is done and dusted. This is an interesting game from Tonguc’s catalogue that offers a different approach to his recognizable style. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3171977671 Why? Because while the story is told with excellent pacing via the walking simulator parts of the game (which he is known for); at the beginning of the game and used as interludes, the game is also a parking simulator, where a bear drives a car through an obstacle course…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As I was playing the previous game from the developer, I decided to check, if they've released something after that. This was available at half price. I've mostly liked their previous games, so I decided to get this as well. I was surprised to find that I could actually park the Jeep. Slowly and with some dents, but still, I played those levels instead of skipping. Even found them slightly entertaining, which was a surprise as I'm a horrible driver in games. The walking parts have nice…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The best experience I had with Tonguç Bodur games on christmas.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you think you'll like both halves of this game (driving, walking) I recommend it. IMO both halves are equally well made. I'm quite impressed that, most of, the lights on the jeep work. Headlights, right turn signals, brake lights, backup light. The music is nice. The water flows, leaves blow in the wind, birds fly. It feels alive, abandoned, but alive none the less. I do wish there was more interactivity.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm gonna say no to this one. I'm a big fan of this indie developer and I appreciate the urge to try something unique, but these two games don't blend together whatsoever. The reviewers saying they do are engaging in magical thinking and are full of poop. Both the parking sim and the walking sim are very well done, but switching between the two is jarring to say the least. Stick with what you know, my guy, and if you want to try something different, release it separately.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Before anything, I feel that it's necessary to tell you that all of the parking levels in this game are skippable without consequence. You can still get every achievement even when skipping every parking level in the game. This is my personal favorite game by Tonguç Bodur. The sights are gorgeous all around, the game doesn't make you walk long distances with nothing to see, there's no annoying narrator. This is just all around a good game. Highly recommended to anyone that likes walking…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Thank God you can skip the parking levels without consequence! I loved the walking simulator portion of this game, but I'm not a fan of the jeep parking simulator bit. It just feels like a totally different game and doesn't mix with the walking simulator portion at all. I get why it's there at the very beginning, as that does serve a purpose, but the transitions out of the walking sim and back to the parking sim after the beginning felt very jarring and really broke my immersion and took me out…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Beautiful game. Highly recommended.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a really random game where you have 45 levels of parking a jeep driven by a bear and a walking simulation where you explore areas and find and read diary entries from Jim. Visually the parking game is simple, yet fun to look at and play. The walking simulator is visually incredibly beautiful with a lot of details and it ties to the stories told by Jim. The sound effects and music in both parts of the game is relaxing and funny in some instances. Really fits well to the atmosphere of…

You can watch the highlights of this game and the two others featured this week here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Rq10DDgzRY [Thoughts and First Impressions] This game is a REALLY strange piece of work.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not gonna lie, when I first started playing the game, I quit because I was both confused and annoyed. After reading other reviews, I sucked it up and started playing again. After you get past the first ten annoying parking-the-Jeep levels, the story begins to unfold. For me, it started out a bit slow, but as the game progressed, everything started falling into place and making sense. The Jeep game made 100% more sense by the end of the story, and damn, was it bitter-sweet. If you would have…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Heck Is This? Here we go: Mr. Bodur's 12th, and arguably best, submission to the Steam canon o' games. Only...huh? I'd read the game description and so anticipated a departure from the walking-sim/adventure-style games we'd come to expect, but the beginning of this game REALLY took me by surprise! I was like, "Omigosh! I'm a bear driving a jeep!" Then I was all, "Dang! This is totally practice for driving in Cyberpunk!" Finally, I was like, "Holy moly! This jeep handles better than…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I thought this would be a simple little parking game, but it turned out to be a surprisingly emotional story about grief, memory, and connection... I especially love the music and the environments, they add so much warmth to the experience. I love this.

unlabelledView post →I recently bought another few titles by Bodur and this one unfortunately drops on the lower set of walking sims by the maker. Little Brother Jim is another tale with philosophic tone and environments change from beautiful forests to vast valleys so generally it is quite generic walking sim experience. However, it turns flat for I was not able to understand who the protagonist was or his intentions. All you do is collecting letters written by protagonist's brother Jim and how they used to grow…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Decent walking sim again from Tonguc Bodur. This time however he mixed it with a driving/parking minigame which is kinda fun and gives the game more gameplay than usual. However I am not sure if it fits well to the rest of the game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Little Brother Jim is a garbage Unreal Engine parking simulator with a twist, after 11 levels you go into a Unreal Engine asset flipped 3D environment that you can walk around in. While it may look like some kind of game, this is just a garbage asset flip cash grab with a $5 USD price tag on it. There's no meaningful game here whatsoever. The developer has shown a consistent pattern of dumping Unreal Marketplace assets into a blender then trying to get paid for the work of other developers…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If there is one thing I know about Tony Bodur's games, it's that they try to keep interactivity to a minimum, but Little Brother Jim turns this formula on its head. In this game, you play as both a bear that drives a van around some obstacle courses and Paul, a doctor who goes for a hike through the woods while finding letters from his eponymous sibling, in typical walking sim fashion. I have no choice but to review this as two separate games, as the two gameplay sections have nothing in…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →"Little Brother Jim alternates between the jeep parking game, and Paul's journey up to the hill." NO! Its two booring sh**y games in one package.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nice and short walking simulator. Easy Achievements, 100% / 40min.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have to say this is total rubbish, if you are looking for a good walking simulator this is NOT it. I have all of Badurs games and they are mostly very relaxing and fun to play, great for killing time between AA titles. This thing is not fun. I haven't even got past the pathetic bear driving part where you have to navigate your way around a number of courses driving a van. I hate driving games,period. I'm crap at them and never buy them, I stay away from anything that has driving in it. So you…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Rating 1/10 This is a walking simulator pared with some parking driving courses. This is not recommended for any games. I thought it would be similar to ELMA the bike game. Not worth it. You play as a bear driving a van and then walking as a man looking for letters from his brother. I guess the music and graphics is the only good thing with the story of the letters.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of the oddest Bodur's games. A mix of driving and contemplation (in separate ways!).
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →While Little Brother Jim is a bit different than the usual Tonguc game (if only for the addition of the mobile game-esque Jeep Parking Minigame), it is still held to the same quality and standard of the other games. The music, ambiance, and story are all excellent. There is plenty of content for the price. The nice thing is, if you don't want to play the minigame, you don't have to, but also it is about half the content of this game. Another excellent game by Tonguc that I highly recommend.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Still a walking simulator masterpiece in my view but it would be better if i can drive a real car in game before entering next scene but not play a small parking game to kill time and i also wanna request more characters since it made me hard to recognize some information in game,waiting for your next life-experience-shared game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →oof, i got this for a dollar/euro. so this might have helped in liking this game. its basically barebones. it feels like the dev tried to test his skills for so many little things in game development, but at the same time tried to orchestrate a coherent game experience for the user. somehow it worked out. maybe walking simulator just feels fresh to me, because i never played it. a special thing for me is the car physics. since gta 4(!)i thirst for car physics that have a certain weight to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →a beautiful & emotional little journey. could've done without the driving. I wish it was easier to skip over and resume walking
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Finishing up (I think) Little Brother Jim, from Tonguç Bodur. Thank you @kingkimineko.bsky.social for gifting the game! CW: Grief; Prior death of younger sibling www.twitch.tv/platformingp...
unlabelledView post →Get it on sale or as part of a bundle. The walking simulator portions of the game are pretty short. The driving parts seem to be just filler, and they can also be skipped if you don't like them. Story isn't bad though, for what there is, and the game is put together well.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Felt like two separate games stuck together for no reason. They also had two different art styles. If there was less of the bear driving levels and some sort of connection to the walking sim part of the game, I'd say this was a good game. Feel free to play it though if you wish. Pro top: Skip the driving bear levels by hitting the N key.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Another walking simulator. It's a story of two brothers. Better than Drizzlepath (previous work from this dev) but that's not saying much. The story is actually kinda sad if you decide to read the letters.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you like this developer, you'll enjoy this game, though it is unconventional compared to his usual style. As you probably already know, it's sort of two games in one. The walking simulator portions are what we're all here for, and that is a pleasant, calm experience. One problem is that the story is told through notes, and comma usage is just all over the place, which makes it a pain to read at times. There is an occasional typo as well, but that's nowhere near as bothersome as the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Could have done with much less mini game levels. Otherwise, nice walk with relaxing music.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I didn't expect too much from this game after seeing the screenshots tbh. The mix of the walking simulator and the little parking game is weird to say the least. I also completetly skipped most of the parking levels but they likely add another 1-2 hours of gameplay. The walking part is the best Bodur has created (from what I've seen at least). The world is beautiful and feels alive. The letters feel genuine and real, the story is well made and emotional. It also nice to explore a bit, and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm pleasantly surprised at how this game went. I think the driving game represents Jim very well and I like the juxtaposition from it to Paul walking to each mailbox. There was direction with the walking portion and the driving game was coded very well (plus I love bears so seeing that a bear was driving made me laugh). It's different than what Tonguç usually makes, but I liked it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The walking simulator part is nice while the driving game is a problem.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very enjoyable I recommend it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This one have some very beautiful environment (the best one I saw so far). I liked the car mini game, it added some variation. Recommended.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Overall good game depending on price paid - it's worth noting that I received this for free via a competition and though I would pay for this game I wouldn't pay more than £3. This is due to the fact that it is a very short game and there is a statement in the credits which undermines the whole perception of the story as you are lead to believe it is a true story but it is in fact fiction which really ruined it for me At first, I felt like I was reading someones diary or invading someones…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This was a lovely game. I think it is really pretty, the scenery is beautiful (I love the flowers, especially) and it seems really impressive for one developer. I also liked the contrast of the driving and exploring. I loved the sentiment of the game, it left me with a cosy warm feeling.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'd like to recommend this game for maximum chill in pedestrian's level. Such nice views and noises. I stayed a lot of times just listening to and do nothing. As I said it has nice graphics, pretty sound and awesome soundtracks! Although, as for me parking levels was funny but quite boring. So It's nice game with sad but peaceful story, beautiful picture and amazing soundtrack.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a lovely little game, really worth it! I have to admit I don't really understand the connection between the parking game and the reallly well done walking simulator. The story doesn't explain it very well. The Parking game is really nice smooth controlls and a janky feeling of the car. I enjoyed it it's like a fun minigame. The Walking simulator part is really well done! It is relaxing and beautiful, with an awesome sound design. At first I had some technical difficulties so I…
