About This Game

Repair everyday objects. Face a past left unanswered.

Some Things Stay Broken is a short narrative adventure told through conversations, object inspection, and simple repair interactions. You fix things for your customers while avoiding an old phone of your own. Its messages and seven missed calls from your father bring you back to words left unsaid.

Listen to your customers, examine their belongings, and piece together a family history through the phone. Whether to reach out at the end is your choice; no hidden score judges the relationship.
