About This Game

BROKEN LIFE is an atmospheric, fully voiced Point-and-Click Adventure set in a world torn by war. At the heart of this story is Leo, a former soldier returning to his recently liberated hometown. Leo's journey is one of loneliness, exhaustion, and the lingering scars of war. He needs to restore his broken life, cope with his grief, and uncover the fate of his family during the occupation. But what seems clear and simple at first quickly reveals itself as an illusion. The house hides many dark and mysterious secrets…

As a solo indie developer from Ukraine, I’ve drawn from my own experiences of living through war to create this narrative. Join Leo on his journey through dark and atmospheric 2D environments, solving puzzles intricately woven into a story filled with tension and emotion.

Some Key Features you may like:

Emotional Storytelling: Experience a narrative that reflects my personal journey through the war in Ukraine. The script was written amidst the chaos and fear of bombs falling on my city and across my beloved country. It's a deeply personal story born from my struggles with depression, panic attacks, and the overwhelming grief of war. BROKEN LIFE is my way to express emotions.
Atmospheric Design: Explore carefully crafted gloomy environments, where every detail is designed to evoke the haunting emotions of war—the senseless destruction and eerie emptiness left in its wake.
Full Voiceover: All dialogues and cutscenes are voiced in each supported language. This feature is optional and can be turned off for a more text-focused experience.
Meaningful Choices: Your decisions shape the story, leading to different outcomes. There are no right or wrong answers, only paths that reflect your choices.
Immersive Puzzles: Solve puzzles that challenge your logic and creativity, seamlessly integrated into the narrative. Each puzzle is designed to enhance the story, not just serve the gameplay.
Inspired by Cruel Reality: BROKEN LIFE was created in Ukraine - a country that has endured the brutal realities of war. This game is a reflection of those experiences.
Crafted with Passion: As a solo developer, I’ve poured my heart, soul, and tears into every aspect of this game.

cant really say i enjoyed or didn't enjoy the game its neutral. The voice acting threw me off a bit it sounds too robotic. Whilst it has potential and good story it's just slow so i stopped playing. I cant recommend it right now until it gets more updates. The art is really great and the character design as well. I just think the game has the potential to be better

This is as much a game as it is a document, representative of the life a lot of Ukrainians had and have to endure. The puzzles are pretty easy, but they motivate to explore all screens. This in turn let's you see all the big and small traces the occupiers left behind. The topic on hand is not as light as the humanoid cat characters might make you think - this is still war and very real for many people around the world. So far, the first chapter is playable. The developer voiced it himself in ukrainian and english, which is endearing and makes this a very personal game. I liked it, it made me cry a lot, but it's an important game.
