    The mixture of exploration and puzzle solving is solid but the unsettling weirdness of its location and story is what makes Broken Pieces a must play for all point and clickers out there.

    It may be something of a marmite genre, but Broken Pieces tells a story worth hearing, despite its elements not quite fitting together perfectly.

    It’s clear that Broken Pieces was a passion project by the team, and while some aspects were wonderful, there was an equal amount of frustration along the way as well. You can expect anywhere from 5 to 10+ hours depending on how much you want to explore and how much backtracking and aimless wandering you do, and while the $31.99 (CAD) may seem a little high, it has potential to be a cult hit with its quirky charm.

    Broken Pieces was teased as a psychological thriller, but it's far from that. It is a puzzle adventure with a kind of interesting plot, but whose rhythm is weighed down by unnecessary and unpolished combat. The puzzles are the great highlight of Elseware Experience's work, although in general they are not the most original.
