Get instant access and start playing; get involved with this game as it develops.

Note: This Early Access game is not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“By using early access I can release chapter one, it'll give me a chance to listen to your feedback and ideas then make informed decisions about the future chapters.

Before I jump into the 2nd and 3rd chapters, I want to make sure the game is solid, performant and VR compatible, hence early access.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“It's taken me one year from no experience in Unity to delivering the beta.

I've learnt a lot in a year, just to get here.
I don't claim to be an expert, however, now that the basics are in place and I know more about game development in Unity, I'd like to think the game will be fully complete near the end of 2022.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version of the game will extend to include multiple motherships, full on VR controls, more lore, the extended story, a new character and many quality of life improvements.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current beta is fully playable, you can explore the island and play the first chapter of the story.

In this chapter you'll learn about your arrival on the island, be introduced to some of the paranormal activity and meet a strange entity.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The price of the game will go up once the game is feature & story complete.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“I plan on involving the Broken community from the Steam community page, Twitter and my Discord channel.”

About This Game

We are not alone, the truth is here...

About This Game

Broken is an adventure puzzle game that will see you unravel a dark mystery.

Storyline

Inspired by classic sci-fi literature, film, tv and modern events.

Broken interweaves these elements into a compelling and original storyline.

The story will introduce you to an unknown force, one far greater than anything we have ever known.

You'll understand what they want and why you are being involved.



Learn how your arrival was no accident and discover the truths about the meaning of life.

The question is...

Are you ready to hear the truth?

Are you ready to decide the future of mankind?

The power will be in your hands!

Gameplay

Broken is an interactive story, it doesn't hand-hold the player.

Like all good sci-fi, you'll interpret the story in your own way, visual clues and set scenes will show you what you need to know without narrating or explaining your experience

There's a limited GUI so that you can focus on the story. The only interruption to your visuals will be a reticle when you highlight an object that can be interacted with.




There are items to collect throughout the game, again you are not told what they do or when to use them, you must figure that out for yourself.

You always have a camera on you to capture your discoveries, from the beauty of the island to the strange and paranormal!

You can't die, but you can fail some challenges, if you fail, you'll simply reset at the challenge entry point.

Environment




Broken's game environment is built with glorious High Definition assets, making the island look and feel realistic, the perfect setting for some sci-fi adventure.

From gold beaches, lush forest, underground bunkers to spacecraft the island host a variety of different areas to explore.

Lore is scattered across the island waiting to be discovered and interpreted, all of which gives you further insight and understandings of what this island is really about.

VR - Coming Soon

As part of the beta, VR will soon be unlocked! Step into the island using your VR device, explore the gorgeous visuals and experience the wonders of the island and all the paranormal activity
