Broken Pieces Free Download Gopcgames.com It’s hard to fault a game for trying its damnedest to break out of the mold. Broken Pieces is a “horror” game that takes a good amount of cues from older titles. With its focus on an interconnected French village and non-standard combat, the game swings for the fences in an effort to shake things up. Not all of it works and some of it seems misguided. But it’s a creative game, with gorgeous visuals and some compelling ideas that’s worth playing through as long as you weren’t hoping for a particularly original story or impactful side content. Broken Pieces puts you in the shoes of Elise, a woman who moved to the French town of St. Exil with her boyfriend Pierre. But the mysterious activities of a cult alongside strange happenings with the town itself draws the military, which abducts the townsfolk during a festival. You’ll find plenty of tapes that fill in the plot, but you don’t meet any characters other than Elise, which makes the narrative feel a lot lonelier than need be. There are some interesting characteristics here, mostly due to the glowing stone Elise has on her wrist which can summon a storm or change seasons, but even these seem somewhat random. Gopcgames.com

For all intents and purposes, Broken Pieces is a 3D adventure game. Elise has full reign of the empty St. Exil and progress revolves around exploring the place. You’ll find items that you need to use to open doors, solve puzzles to create new pathways and gather information, and stock up on items to help Elise on her way. Whenever she’s outside, Elise can summon a storm that will knock certain things down. Later, interacting with fountains will turn the season to winter, complete with snow, which lowers the water level and freezes water. The town itself is fairly large and interconnected. It’s fun to learn the layout and open up new places to explore bit by bit. There are a few sidequests that grant additional background info or weapon upgrades for anyone who cares enough to see them. The combat is easily the worst thing in the game, and feels tacked on. Occasionally, Elise gets locked into an area by barriers, and two or three ghost enemies start walking toward her. There’s only a single type of enemy, and the combat to deal with them is pretty different from any other systems I’ve ever seen. Aim down sights

But there’s a reason that most games do things the standard way. Elise has a gun with infinite bullets. You can find materials that automatically get converted into higher-quality ammunition if you put them in your item box. But the single enemy is so easy to dispatch, and healing is so prevalent, that you’ll never have to worry about using this ammo. As enemies approach Elise, you need to lock onto one and shoot them until they die. For whatever reason, Elise is the absolute worst shot I’ve ever seen in a video game. She frequently misses targets right in front of her. The trick is to shoot them right before they attack or just after. You can dodge straight backward or to the side (complete with Elise doing a bizarre twirl). When an enemy’s arm turns red, that means it’ll attack with a jab, which you avoid by dodging to the side. When it’s yellow, it throws a hook, which you dodge by moving backward. This is literally all there is to the combat. In the end, the story is extremely typical. It follows the same route we usually see when zombies, ghosts, or demons aren’t involved. I’m not going to spoil it or anything Baldur’s Gate 3

But you’ve probably seen variations of this story time and again. More importantly, though, the game isn’t remotely scary. The game is marketed as a psychological thriller, but that’s not accurate. There’s nothing psychological about it, and it obviously isn’t a thriller. Still, the tapes you find are somewhat interesting. Details are revealed at a decent pace; Broken Pieces certainly isn’t boring. he game does auto-save at specific points, like waking up in the morning or when you first enter a “memory stage.” However, saving by sitting on benches scattered throughout Saint-Exil is the only way to save manually. You can also rest on a bench to replenish health at the cost of a few in-game hours, and Elise can also restore health by going through her fridge at home or a restaurant. Because the benches appear frequently, I never felt like there was a real danger of losing a lot of valuable game time if I remembered to sit at one every so often. Exploration, puzzle-solving, and the narrative are the main driving forces behind playing Broken Pieces. I think the description of it as a “psychological thriller” and gameplay elements it has in common with the survival horror genre are doing the title a disservice.

Enjoy a thriller atmosphere in your adventure to the fullest extent

The game isn’t scary at all, with only the occasional mildly disturbing or unsettling point. Broken Pieces is more of a mystery adventure title with some shoddy combat inexplicably thrown into the mix. When you successfully solve a puzzle, you get a strong “Aha!” moment, and uncovering the locales of Saint-Exil is intriguing. I even like the “memory portal” elements, where you deep dive into an alien terrain that connects to Elise’s innermost thoughts and memories while offering a bit more challenge in puzzle-solving and (sadly) combat. However, it is the strangely compelling mystery as to why the town is empty and why Elise is there at all that are the main driving forces behind Broken Pieces’ narrative. Because the game consists largely of Elise wandering an empty townscape on her own, an eerie sense of loneliness permeates Saint-Exil. Sound plays into this, too, with the only real effects being seagulls flapping their wings and calling out or the waves hitting against the sides of the dock. Elise’s lone footsteps crunching on gravel or through snow further cause this sense of isolation to permeate and fester. It is no wonder that she narrates so much of her inner thoughts out loud, as I imagine not hearing other people beyond voice recordings for so long can be maddening.

Unfortunately, Elise’s puns and jokes could use a little work. Pierre made music tapes for her that you can uncover throughout the game, and I like how you can play them during your travels to help break up the monotony of solitude. The soundtrack is sparse but has a lingering effect, given its presentation. An example is the vocal song “Aède – Disparu.” The English voice acting harks back to early games of the survival horror and adventure genres: which is to say, it isn’t the best but still holds a nostalgic twinge. There is also a French language option, which makes sense given the game’s setting and the fact that the five-team-member developer Elseware Experience also happens to be French. The graphics are nice to look at, with the background vistas of the village being visually appealing. I also quite like the art that appears when the game loads. The different angles of the camera also help bring to mind early adventure games, provoking a sense of nostalgia. Overall, the narrative beats and mystery surrounding Broken Pieces start compellingly. Unfortunately, because the title drops players into the aftermath of an earlier event, some things, such as Elise’s magical bracelet, never get satisfactorily explained.

Still, the game does a good job filling in the blanks, thanks to the clues you find and the tape recordings. There’s confusion regarding the roles of the military and cult that’s been terrorizing the citizenry of Saint-Exil. However, since Elise never learns the whole story, perhaps the player isn’t supposed to piece it together thoroughly. I found that the main story’s ending is a letdown. It builds up to something significant thanks to the puzzles you must complete to reach it, but the final scene stops without much explanation and just a looming sense of impending dread. I honestly expected there to be something more, thinking I had maybe not finished the game adequately or reached a bad ending. However, the Achievements noted I completed the main story once the credits rolled. It is a testament to how much I grew to like the game despite its frustrations that a part of me hopes there might be more story content coming! The developers did listen to the issues many had with the abruptness of the ending and patched in a tape message recording that plays during the end credits that helps to explain some of the dangling plot threads while still leaving some things open to player interpretation.

I greatly appreciate this even though I would still like more answers in general to the questions the plot leaves lingering, but I suppose that maybe not providing them was a creative choice by the developers to fit the narrative’s “broken pieces” theme. I’m not sure why Broken Pieces even has combat, honestly. There are so few encounters that I can’t imagine that I spent more than half an hour fighting during my entire playthrough. Granted, you could fight more if you really wanted to. The game has a time system at play. Elise has a little crab clock that tells her what time it is and the minutes continually tick down as you play the game. When you travel to other areas, a specific amount of time is used up. The reason for this is that, after 8 PM, enemy encounters become much more prevalent, so there’s an additional element of managing your time. You’re expected to go back to Elise’s house and sleep every night. When Elise is hurt, she can heal by sitting on a bench and resting. But this eats up two whole hours, so that has to be taken into account. Some objectives can only be completed by going home at night

And sleeping and progress-granting tapes can often only be acquired by checking the tape player by Elise’s bed in the morning. I like this system and think it does a good job of making it feel like you’re really going on a little investigation day by day. Sidequests include getting a high score in an arcade game, finding orbs that teleport you to a strange dream world, and puzzles that reward you with coins that can be used at a museum. I never got to use any of these coins, though. Elise’s journal told me that I did everything I needed to do to turn the museum’s power back on. But it never turned on, so I couldn’t do anything with the coins and don’t know what the reward for messing with them is. I completed Broken Pieces in about seven hours and mostly enjoyed myself. The combat might be pointless, but the puzzles are mostly satisfactory, the level design is memorable and offers a believable sense of place, and, again, the graphics are quite lovely especially considering the size of the team that made the game. It won’t knock anybody’s socks off, but the game offers a little French vacation that’s mostly worth seeking out.
