Some questions regarding the in game story
I have completed the game and I have to say it is an awesome game. However, I do have some questions in mind.

1)who and what is that giant lady who is lying her head on the cliff? Why was the elder brother in a daze upon seeing her?

2)who is that person lying beside that female giant? and what did the elder brother started punching his brother after he has lifted that hand of the female giant? and then everything is alright after that.. the whole thing is like a dream

3)who killed those giants? the tribe? they caught the female arachnid initially, so did the tribe already know about this? Helping the arachnid escape from the tribe is like the wrong thing to do lol.

I feel that these parts mentioned above are the confusing ones. I hope they will make Brothers 2 to explain the unexplained.

Overall, i would rate this game 9/10

The giant is the mother, and the man under her hand is the father. The whole thing is a dream sequence of the younger brother. The older brother in a daze is just representative of him not being active in the younger brothers dream at the time. The older brother "attacked" the younger brother because he was actually shaking him trying to wake him. That is how his dream state interpreted the shaking.

The giants killed each other. It was the aftermath of a war.

Ah i see, but it is indeed a weird dream. Somehow the mother is protecting the father isn't it?

1) That was their mother, the older brother was in a daze beucase it was the little brother's dream, because he drowned and he wasn't awake.
2) That person lying beside that female giant was their dad, the older brother was punching his brother because it was a little brother's dream, he dreamed his brother was killing him.
3) Those giants i don't know, i think it was a war between them.

Pretty much every thing is mentioned above. I just want to add one thing. Since its the younger brother's dream, in his perspective, his mother died because of his in capability to save her. So in his dream, his mother does not trust him with the life of his father. That is one reason why he mistook his brother shaking him awake to an attempt to kill him.

I think the whole game might be in Naiee's head. The mother dies at the beginning and the father is injured in an accident, and it's up to the brothers to maintain a household and deal with daily obstacles which are represented by the in-game puzzles. The brothers help each other through everyday life. Through the eyes of little Naiee, everything seems like a daydream or fairy tale.
For example, I don't think there was a war between giants- might've just been a war between humans that the boys got caught up in, having to navigate through the aftermath. A child would view an adult warrior as being HUGE. Naia becoming interested in a woman, Naiee feels betrayed and jealous since he wants to spend more time with a girl than his bro. Even the way Naia is killed... the woman literally "sinks her fangs into him" after she invites him to "climb into a mysterious hole that the younger brother doesn't understand yet"- analogy for seduction.
