Brave Soul

It is a world very different from ours, a world in which magic exists, a world where peasants labor under the burden of heavy taxes imposed upon them by the unfair rulers of the land. Although the commoners have a difficult lot, there are those among them with the strenth to use his sword and make a name for himself – an adventurer. To be an adventurer is the dream of every peasant.

The story details the journey of a young man who was raised in the countryside of Souvania, on the continent of Valencia. Disowned by his own father and forced to make his way in life, he chooses to become a Hunter, a mercenary who accepts jobs for a variety of adventures. Heading into town to officially join the Hunter’s Guild with his dragon Shell at his side, he happens across a mysterious girl who looks strikingly like the Moon Goddess.

The Moon Goddess… Ever since he was young, a beautiful girl appears before him on nights of a full moon. Because of the mysterious manner of her appearance, he gave her her unique name. With the mysterious girl Alicia and dragon Shell at his side, as well as new characters he will join with later, our hero embarks on many bold adventures. But will he ever be able to solve the bizarre mystery of the beautiful Moon Goddess standing in the lake…?

Works fine here, just unpack and run "brave_s.exe" in windows xp sp2 compatibility mode, with administrator rights.
Thanks admin.

So yeah, first I want to thank who ever made this site. Because it gave me the oppurtunity to download a few great Eroge games. And secondly, I am sorry to bother you with this again but I can't play Brave Soul...

I've have Windows 7 Home Premium and I have changed the compatibility from Windows XP service pack 2 to Windows 98 to Windows Service Pack 3 and back to Windows XP service pack 2 and I still can't get Brave Soul to run... All I get is a roll of white text that isn't readable, and even when I wait it out it just loops again...

Please, how do I fix this!
I heard some good things about Brave Soul so I really want to play it...
PS: I'm not very good with computers, so try to keep it simple. :p

Never mind, oddly enough after dowloading it again it suddenly worked in one go.

The screen still flickers black occasionally, it's a bit annoying but it's not game breaking.

Any chance we can get this game uploaded on one of the new hosts? It may be a small/simple game, but it's great for wasting time on and a good bit of fun ^.^

Cooooooooooooool.

WTF? I can't get past the opening! After the OP, it goes back to the text crawl(which btw is messed, the text drags and smudges downward).

User02 Aug 2012Reply

Yeah, I get the same problem with you... Can't anyone give the complete instruction from extracting and playing or installing the game?

Just use d-tools or alcohol to mount and install if you have errors. I used win and poweriso at first, neither worked.

wooby623 Jun 2012Reply

for people who wish to fix the opening video or BS_op.avi follow the steps below: note if running 32bit os skip step 3

1. click start
2. type cmd Run its as Administrtor (& rightclick, select, 'Run as Administrtor'
3. type following without quotations: "cd C:\Windows\SysWOW64", then press enter
4. type following without quotations: "regsvr32 ir50_32.dll" then press enter
5. done the video should now be fixed

Now you might ask what the hell you just did?
The answer is that you enabled the Indeo 5.0 codec for your windows 7 pc

Ryukami18 Aug 2012Reply

i tries that, but it says that the load of the module 32 failed.
what should i do?

TightLifeGuy25 Jun 2012Reply

I have ran out of missions to do from the Guild and I don't have enough love points to get any character ending. Under these circumstances, is there still a way to "beat" the game?

Mauricio28 Jul 2012Reply

I'm having a problem with the game screen that always stays with cuts on the sides, if anyone knows how to solve this could you please tell me how, thanks advance

Yuiichi Aizawa02 Nov 2012Reply

Started playing this, and it's pretty fun so far. The old-school nature just makes it somehow super-charming, even though the sound quality of the dialogue isn't very good. My only complaint is that there's no backlog or any way to re-read text that has already past, so if you accidentally double-click during a scene, you won't know what the character just said.
Other than that, this is a good game so far.

For some reason the game's text is stuck in auto or something. Each line passes by way too fast for me to read.

Have you tried pressing Alt and Enter together. That's a hot key that fullscreens and windows most games.

Erm... the frame-rate cannot match up with my current computer.

Oh,Either i minimise the screen to check the "flip" option to false,the cursor runs around smoothly =).
Not sure about the implication behind the "flip" thing though.

Ok I use Windows 7 and I can't run the game. I have problems with the opening blurring down the screen. Runing the installer in English. I have changed the locale back to English. I have tried the cmd thing and going into compatibility mode. I cant move any thing from part two because it all extracted in to part one folder. If some could please guild me thur this correctly and properly I would be very happy. Thankyou.

Christian28 Jul 2016Reply

I want to once again thank the creator and maintainer of this site and for bringing awesome date-sim and visual novels to US gamers. Thank you! ^_^

That said.... Have you tried using Oracle VM VirtualBox (virtual machine)?? It is free, by the way, the games runs any older game or Japanese game perfectly. I love playing an old Date-sim called "True Love", which is one of the best date-sims ever made (and closest you will ever be to Tokimeki games *sigh*) in English. I use Oracle VirtualBox and run "emulation" inside Win 7 of Windows 98 with the True Love game inside. It runs perfectly with sound, no glitches, no headache. :)

Everyone: the best way to run old games in this awesome site is to run a VirtualMachine (emulator that runs inside Windows XP, Win Vista, Win 7, etc, and run an "emulation" of an older Windows version - like Windows 98 or whatever, so you can run old Japanese translated games).

The best FREE one is: virtualbox.org and it is easy to use. Works beautifully and much easier to use then DOS-Box, which even for a DOS pro like me, is a headache to use. My 2 cents.

I really don't get how to install this. When i start it's only black screen with wordings only. Not happen before when my OS was XP. And I also tried that patch still didn't work. Also, do you have an English patch for INSTALL.EXE?

Terrin Lotsuvas05 Aug 2016Reply

Try installing a VM (virtual machine) that has xp or an older version of windows as its os

This is so addictive, you could lose your life with it.

Triel26 Aug 2016Reply

I bought this game years ago, and have not been able to get it to work for years. Found this site and thought what the heck, and searched up all my old games. I never knew they made a patch for this game, downloaded it and now I can play this again :) Thank You so much for this admin, this was the 1st game I ever bought and I can enjoy it again (just days before my birthday).

I’m running the game on Windows 10, and it took considerable fiddling to get everything working correctly. This is what I did:
Right click the game brave_s.exe in the folder where you installed the game.
Go to Properties.
Set the compatibility mode to Windows XP (Service Pack 2)
Set the game to start in 640×480.
Set the game to run as administrator.
Launch the game.
In the config menu that pops up, set the game to windowed mode.
On the right, set the graphics to GDI.
Play the game.
Even though you’re in windowed mode, the game will display as though it were full screen. If your task bar is in the way, right click it, go to settings, and switch on ”auto hide taskbar”.
Before I got to these settings, the game would lag very badly in full screen mode, and if I alt-tabbed, the game would get tons of graphical glitches when I tabbed back in. This setup fixed all the problems and I was able to play perfectly without a virtual machine. Good luck

Thank you for the advice, it really worked for me. I used to play this game about more than 10 years ago, when Intel Pentium 4 was a new thing. Now i can have a nostalgia in this pandemic era (Covid19). Hope u guys stay healthy and still have some fun in playing video games too. :D

If the game or cursor is lagging for you, set Flip to false when the config options appear, when booting the game up.
