  • Summary: An authoritarian state pacifying the masses with propaganda. A brutal police force that shoots first then shoots some more.

    An ordinary everyman named Eugene, dragged by coincidence and circumstance from a life of mundane menial tasks into a baffling world of sudden, inexplicable murder,    An authoritarian state pacifying the masses with propaganda. A brutal police force that shoots first then shoots some more.

    An ordinary everyman named Eugene, dragged by coincidence and circumstance from a life of mundane menial tasks into a baffling world of sudden, inexplicable murder, hidden conspiracy and unrelentingly lethal robots with nasty sharp pincers and lasers coming out of everywhere.

    Depicted in a distinctive Cyrillic pixel art style the cyberpunk city crackles with tech-noir intrigue and neo-digital deceptions. Using every tool at your disposal help Eugene to unpick the knot of mystery that he has become enmeshed within - your equilibrium will be rocked as you point and click a path through this briar patch of tangled meaning and unexpected quixotic quirks.

    Will Eugene make sense of the conundrum that unfolds before him, learn who is an ally or a foe and collect lots of vinyl records for his listening pleasure? He'll race rapid hover bikes to earn sub-cultural respect, rub shoulders with high society in a post-modern nightclub, hack the brains of pursuing drone cops in thrill-packed chase sequences, strive to survive tense shootouts with merciless law enforcers and enjoy some 8-bit cowboy coin-op action in a dingy dive bar with a broken toilet.    … Expand

    DreamBreak is a reasonably priced little gem and a must-buy proposal. It's really hard to rate a game like this when the duration of the whole action is so short. With a longer gameplay of 3 or 4 hours it would be a classic.

    DreamBreak is a short, relatively easy trip down memory lane for anyone who grew up playing point-and-click adventure games. While it has plenty of rough edges and won’t hold your attention for much longer than the end credits, it’s a good game to play through in an afternoon, with well-designed puzzles and surprisingly engaging combat. Just be warned that there are a lot of bugs near the end.

    Good game to your collection if you're a fan of the indie scene and you enjoy watching unusual, but well developed, pieces. Most players, however, probably will soon forget what it was all about. [Issue#266]

    Dreambreak may look pretty on the outside, but peeling back its pixelated style and impressive music reveals the dull story, flat characters, lack of substance and clunky gameplay within.

    A collection of horrendously bad mini-games, hastily glued together by an asinine story.
