About This Game

Break Chance Memento (BCM) is the latest visual novel by Cyanide Tea. BCM is primarily a story about family bonds across time and involves time travel, tracking down a serial killer, and potential gay romance. Can Shuuki save the people he cares about by traveling through time? Whether or not he makes it through to a happy ending is completely up to the player's decisions.

STORY

Four years ago, Shuuki's world was turned upside-down when his twin sister, Fuyuka, died in an accident at just 12 years of age. His parents blamed her death on the negligence of their eldest son, Natsume. The Amamiya family was never the same.


One fateful morning, Shuuki stumbles across the gruesome sight of his brother Masaharu's corpse. When all hope is lost and Shuuki must come to terms with the fact that his brother has been murdered, the mysterious Kyousuke appears before him with a proposition:

"Do you want to bring your brother back? To fix your family's broken relationship? You can…if you learn to travel through time."

Before he knows it, Shuuki is caught in a plot far more sinister than he could have ever imagined. He learns that the key to traveling through time and stopping innocents from being killed lies in mementos: items that are a link between the past, future, and present.

FEATURES

  • A compelling science fiction story about a dysfunctional family and the youngest child's quest to save not just their lives, but their relationship
  • At least 6 hours of visual novel gameplay and exploring the city of Nagasaki, looking for mementos, and time traveling
  • 8 different endings with 4 pursuable characters and lots of variation in the story based on 70+ choices
  • 50+ unlockable CGs/images

I bought this game quite a while ago, and just recently that I’ve finally played. And what can I say? I enjoyed this game more than I expected, even tho there are a few problems (at least in my opinion, I’m no “game expert”. But those were things that I’ve felt while playing it, so I want to talk about them as well). [b]The story:[/b] It was good, above average honestly. Ain’t no masterpiece, but I definitely enjoyed! The only thing that kinda disappointed me was the little twist in the end. [spoiler]If it was only Fuyuka’s doing, I’d have love it. But inserting the other guy was kinda… too much? I don’t know how to explain. It kinda broke the whole brotherly vibe somehow, at least for me)[/spoiler] I also enjoyed the multiple endings and how just one or two different choices can change everything. Also, I have an undying love for family stories, especially when they have to be more united than ever to face their difficulties. Break Chance Memento was perfect for m...

I ... I can't say that I fully understand every minor detail of what's going on in this game, even after playing through the whole thing multiple times. Might be tiny plot holes, might be my own stupidity, but nevertheless I'm not bothered by it in any way. The story, the characters and the art style are brilliant. And while it might not be a romance focused game (although there's a lot of that too), it's definitely relationship and character developement focused. It's supported by a great story, but what ultimately got me hooked for hours were the relationships between the various characters. Every single character feels like a real person you can easily get attached to. My first playthrough took me around 6 hours, but it left me wanting to see everything the game has to offer. And yes, it got me to spend 4 hours trying to get Yuki's ending. Yes, I can see that by looking at the time of my achievements. 4 hours. I can only recommend this to everyone, and especially if you're into V...

=[ WHAT a let down! Annoying dialogue, a mediocre half-assed story and only two characters you can romance (who are by the way much less appealing than the main character's two brothers). What a waste of 20 dollars! This visual novel suffers from what a lot of Western and English-translated visual novels are prone to; that is, pseudo-Japanese style dialogue. I understand why things are kept relatively close to their translation for visual novels that are originally Japanese, but is there any reason to choose to incorporate the Japanese style of speaking in a completely Western game? It just looks dumb. Real dumb. It bothered me throughout the whole game. Also, there were soooo many instances where the main character found himself overhearing other characters speaking to themselves about conveniently crucial things. Nobody speaks to themselves out loud that much nor in such detail. It's so stupid! Those were my main issues with the dialogue in the game. The plot is a different story....

A game where the protagonist is Bi but romance isn't the focus of the story lol besides only 2 out of 4 character routes are romance routes where the other 2 are sibling routes. You can still get a normal end if you don't specifically pursue someone. Anyway the whole time travel gameplay is pretty unique and kind of like a hidden object game but an overly easy one at that. Some of the places to search were pretty pointless or simply red herrings where nothing shows up...ever. I liked the story but due to my paranoia of causing a butterfly effect on my first playthrough I only used time travel for things that are necessary and got the true bad ending XD Note: Feel free to mess around with the time machine

<3 This game was great! Very good story! A bit complicated though, which is nice. Though it feels there are small, super tiny plot holes. But barely visible, if you do not focus on them, are they invisible. But it was something that gnawed in my mind, not much since everything else was dazzeling. The story as whole was amazing, and well thougt anyway!! I really liked it, it was awesome and intressting! Its a bit tricky to get all the endings, but its still easy to solve too in the end. Also that there is a lot one can experience in it! To look around to find and see! A lot of scenes to get between Shuuki and the others, due to different requirements and mementos. That makes it replayable, though, the beginning gets a little bit tiring if you want a specific endig and fail, and then you have to go throug it again. Luckly there is a skip button, and it stops when a new scene occour, so you wont miss anything. The writing is easy to follow and do not use many difficult words, and it s...

It was really easy to obtain the incestuous gay brother route, but not a good ending with the other characters. Weird and frustrating.

Bizarrely written. Felt like the game couldn't decide whether it wanted to be Japanese or not. The writing is comparable to what one might find on a fanfiction website from 2009. I feel it might have been better if they just went with a western setting. HOWEVER! I am completely willing to acknowledge the serious effort that was put into this game. It must have taken a long time to make. I almost feel bad for wanting to critique it but I really want the devs to know where they can improve. Even with the bizarre style choices as well as the somewhat...clunky...menu, I cannot deny these devs are on to somethig and I wish them luck wholeheartedly with their next projects. This particular game just wasn't for me.

I ABSOLUTELY loved this game! Most visual novels cause you to feel like a bystander, but Break Chance Memento makes it seem like you have an active role. I actually started to emphathize and like nearly all of the characters. I enjoyed the music and atmosphere of Break Chance Memento as well. In my view, it is well worth the money and deserves more attention. Five stars from me! I look forward to more games by these developers.

This is such a remarkable game! You have to be rock-hearted to not feel touched by this amazing storyline. Despite the sci-fi plot, you can really relate with one or more characters from the plot.

This was a pretty fun game. I was worried that the art style would be a little off-putting (dem yaoi hands) but all the little bits and pieces worked together to create a really fun and interesting story. It was really cute and heartwarming and I would definitely recommend if you're into visual novels and time travel. Cool Things: It's a really interesting story and it drags you in real deep to figure out the mystery. Lots of choices and nuances to keep you coming back for more and trying out new things. We have a bi main character who admits that they're bi! That's awesome! Lots of character growth - especially for Shuuki our hero. Don't be surprised if you hate him at first, he's a teenager, they do that. All of the characters are distinct - not just a bunch of tropes smashed together - and have interesting things to say and help direct the story and are good indicators of Shuuki's character development. So many animations! Each character blinks, has multiple expressions and bo...
