“The most 2013 game of all time, not in a bad way. There is a feeling that you're loosely playing through the history of the internet in this vaporwave world. Things start out so fun and expressive and without…”

“It's really not great. Worth it on sale or in a bundle IMO. Expect VERY dated humor, jank controls, and buggy mechanics. It's a 2018 time capsule, if that's a turn off then don't get this game, seriously lol Please note…”

“Broken Reality is one of those games that I personally find very hard to explain, and that’s because of the special connection it builds with the player. If you’re tuned into this kind of game, it can hit you hard. If not, it might just feel like a very bizarre game with no real…”
