About Brush Burial: Gutter World
Brush Burial: Gutter World drops you into a frontier frontier where the devil‑like Fennel survives by cutting a living from edge cities. The game blends action, adventure and indie sensibilities into an immersive sim where every decision—combat, mercy, theft or trespass—shapes the outcome.
Four tightly designed, interconnected levels offer many routes and a mix of hostile or friendly NPCs that react to crimes. Combat is fast, simple and optional, encouraging improvised weapons, environmental objects and a unique hand‑to‑hand takedown system.
01 / THE GUIDE
Combat System
Combat is described as fast‑paced, instantaneous, simple and robust. Players may employ improvised or stolen weapons, environmental objects, and a unique hand‑to‑hand takedown system, giving each encounter flexible options.
All combat is optional; the game lets you decide between mercy and malice, so you can bypass fights entirely if you prefer a non‑violent approach.
- Experiment with environmental objects to see how they differ from weapon attacks.
- Observe NPC reactions when you avoid combat to gauge the impact of non‑violent choices.
02 / THE GUIDE
Level Design
Four tightly designed, interconnected levels provide numerous paths to each objective. The layout encourages exploration and multiple approaches, supporting the game’s replay focus.
Hostile and friendly NPCs populate these levels and react to crimes such as stealing, trespassing, or murder, influencing how each playthrough unfolds.
- Take alternate routes to discover different NPC encounters.
- Note how specific crimes alter NPC reactions for future runs.
03 / THE GUIDE
Contracts
Progression is structured around one Greater Contract and three Lesser Contracts. These contracts serve as primary objectives that guide your actions across the four levels.
Because each level can be replayed, you may approach contracts in varied ways, testing different strategies to meet the required conditions.
- Review the requirements of each Lesser Contract before tackling the Greater Contract.
- Use Lesser Contracts as low‑risk opportunities to experiment with movement and combat techniques.
04 / THE GUIDE
Cosmetics
Dozens of unique cosmetics are unlockable through gameplay challenges and level progression. These items are unlockable cosmetics for Fennel.
Since cosmetics are tied to challenges, pursuing varied objectives can broaden your visual collection while you explore other aspects of the game.
- Target different challenge types to unlock a wider range of cosmetics.
- Keep a simple list of which challenges reward which cosmetic pieces.
05 / THE GUIDE
Single‑Player & Family Sharing
Brush Burial is a single‑player experience, allowing you to progress through story and contracts alone. The game supports Family Sharing, so multiple accounts can access the same purchase.
Family Sharing is listed as a feature, indicating that the game can be launched by shared accounts without requiring additional purchases.
- Use Family Sharing to let a friend try the game without buying a separate copy.
- Play solo to maintain full control over narrative choices and outcomes.
