Brave Rock Games is an independent organization that makes interactive software for young audiences. Our current goal is to bring classic stories to digital platforms. We believe reading is fundamentally important to any child's growth. Some children dislike reading due to lack of visuals. We are bringing visual story tales to these children. We have learned that disabled gamers, also enjoy our software due to simplicity of the controls and production value. Lastly, many adults have approached us to give thanks for creating an application they can enjoy with their child.

Frequently Asked Questions:
1) Is your 4th Visual Novel based off of Naruto?
Kishimoto's Naruto, has several characters that are featured in our Visual Novel. Kishimoto and several other companies took inspiration for the legend, "The Tale of the Gallant Jiraiya." They have used the characters in that legend in their own derivative works. Our 4th Visual Novel tells one of the original legends of "The Tale of the Gallant Jiraiya" and is not based on Naruto. However, if you read our Visual Novel you may see similarities that Kishimoto did to the original legend of Jiraiya.

2) Why are you covering international stories, instead of popular domestic tales?
We really enjoy world culture and we're trying to avoid limiting ourselves to popular western stories. We like to alternate between international and western stories. Our 5th Visual Novel, will cover a western fable.
