QL | Broken Pieces [Third Person Mode](2022) Time Stuck in a Town build on Pop Icons
3Back in 2022, this Indie short horror SH-like game became famous for its art ... and mainly for looking like Silent Hill... but its out of place combat, that is only a afterthought , making it feel padded (added only to stretch the length) , out of place , old third person fixed camera and many horrible angles... and its length of 3-4h-ish ... not to mention jank puzzle logic ... made many call it , a fine example how Indies should not be AAA ... and the ending sucked hard
So, what the indie dev did ... remade the whole game, from grounds up, with patches (hahaha) ... you got problems with combat , K ... how about turning it off , or make the ammo unlimited , or how about highlighting items or not , or Auto Aim... you got problems with fixed camera , how about Third Person behind your back Alan Wake camera... not to mention when you use it , the game maps are changed... remade as a totally new product with new graphical detail, aiming ... story is fixed , ending has added a new VO ... puzzles are now , well ... still jank ... and if you got problems with its length , its on you ... depending what settings you pick , like in all SH games ( when in Sh3 on hard puzzle difficulty, you had to do math puzzles or music puzzles )
If you ask about the story , well ... you start this game, in the middle and are clueless , slowly puzzling the story together ... since your forced to listen to tapes, to progress the game story ...about a gall, stuck in a town (build on movie pop icons) that was under the influence of some Cult , that heard a sound coming from the depths of the ocean ... a sound of a God whale, that harvest Gloving Rocks, that can Manipulate time and space ... your stuck in a time bubble , made by this whale , when his screams resonated the rocks and trapped you inside your house bubble ... using those rocks you change the time and weather (force storms and rain when you shoot your gun near your bracelet , or make it freezing cold and snow, to cross some sections )
Is this game now worth your time ... yeah , now it is ... so here half of the game ... with the one puzzle that is still jank , when you have to drop glowing mushrooms and then wander around to make the Crow land near them and give you the key ... a puzzle that works 10% of the time :/ ... after the 10th reload the bird Ai was like "Fuck , now i get it , you want me to get the shroom , K" ... and then clipped off , fuck ... guess the new mode has some clipping problems :/
At lest its totally complete on the Fixed Camera Less Detailed Mode ... since , in this mode its random jank , more detailed and pretty but jank ...
