Journey of the Broken Circle (100% Longplay)
1Journey of the Broken Circle is a story telling platformer much like Thomas Was Alone where you control a sentient Pac Man like character named Circle who is looking for a "piece" to make them feel complete. Along the way, we experience relationships with characters that serve as life lessons about relationships, independence and self-love.
Aside from completing the levels, you will need to collect 38 mushrooms that will unlock 2 secret levels that you will need to complete for the platinum. There are also a couple missable objectives for trophies/achievements as well as a secret ending that you'll need to unlock for the Platinum/100%. Fortunately, there is chapter select, so you can go back for collectibles and missable trophies is you want. The only potential deal-breaker is how tough one of the bonus levels is.

3:35:12 Chapter 7: Alternate Ending (The Temptation of the Void)
The Bad Trip is in here twice because it took me around 2 hours the first time which shows all the times the game mocks you. I decided to try it again and finished the level rather quickly so I added that run as well to show that it can be quick if you're lucky.
Missable Trophies
- For "Finding Your Own Way", simply go left at the beginning of the game.
- For "Going in Circles", at 1:03:10 you'll need to loop around the area before going down where the ground breaks while the abyss is chasing you. Looping around the left cliff gives you the trophy, not the right one where the mushroom is located
- For "Feel That Beat", just make sure you hit "x" on every cloud on Chapter 9 while flying up with the balloon at 1:22:00
- To Get "The Temptation of the Void", jump into the Abyss just as the shadow monster emerges and the game will end; you'll need to restart Chapter 7
