About This Game

'This looks like the most terrible mix of differing types of gameplay. I must have it!' - RPS Commenter

An authoritarian state pacifying the masses with propaganda. A brutal police force that shoots first then shoots some more.

An ordinary everyman named Eugene, dragged by coincidence and circumstance from a life of mundane menial tasks into a baffling world of sudden, inexplicable murder, hidden conspiracy and unrelentingly lethal robots with nasty sharp pincers and lasers coming out of everywhere.

Depicted in a distinctive Cyrillic pixel art style the cyberpunk city crackles with tech-noir intrigue and neo-digital deceptions. Using every tool at your disposal help Eugene to unpick the knot of mystery that he has become enmeshed within – your equilibrium will be rocked as you point and click a path through this briar patch of tangled meaning and unexpected quixotic quirks.

Will Eugene make sense of the conundrum that unfolds before him, learn who is an ally or a foe and collect lots of vinyl records for his listening pleasure? He'll race rapid hover bikes to earn sub-cultural respect, rub shoulders with high society in a post-modern nightclub, hack the brains of pursuing drone cops in thrill-packed chase sequences, strive to survive tense shootouts with merciless law enforcers and enjoy some 8-bit cowboy coin-op action in a dingy dive bar with a broken toilet.

This game wandered into my office a little 3pm. Wasn't expecting a soviet russian dystopian future but I went with it. I was immediately drawn in by it's beautiful yet chisled graphics. It's portrayal of a terrible future outlined in stark yet plain colors, harsh yet real. What I didn't expect was to plumb toilets and fix motorbike wheels through. Too much for a private investigator like me. The story drew me in, but the toilets spat me back up. STILL GOOD THOUGH!

The controls can be rather crude but this game manages to breath life an present it's true heart and soul put forth in a faceless bleak society. A society that is serving to make itself obsolete. The visual style and musical accompaniment are quite well done. At times however it feels like the game underutilized it's own potential and comes off a bit short and brief. It feels like it's lacking a bit in exploratory options. Perhaps a bit to linear and in need of a bit more interaction in order to allow for greater immersion. The English translation is a bit basic but it's well understandable although it could be worded much better. Gameplay wise it's not much besides some very basic shooting games and a bit of puzzle solving. You're probably looking at about 2 hours total from start to finish. The visual statements are well represented at least. It's really the artistic merit that makes this game so enjoyable. The soundtrack is also pretty well done. The music does a good job of se...

Not a bad game. I feel like a lot of the other reviews hit the nail on the head. I would say the controls are probably the biggest downfall of the game, though they aren't too terrible. I think it was a rather short game, where as the multiple ending feature is literally just two different endings from a choice that you make. Overall though a solid game and definently worth a playthrough, at least twice to see both endings. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmn3Yv2UzBo

Graphics, music, story and everything is amazing but the massive deal breaker are the controls. The game is buggy and the controls are so retarded. Have not been able to finish the game/story because of the controls. Would not reccomend.

The story seems interesting, the graphics/style is fantastic, the music/sound pretty good. But, damn, the controls are horrible. The game is full of bugs, in the few minutes I've played I had too restart the screen several times, because the character just kept running and didn't react in any way anymore. As far as I have played, there are no real puzzles/you can't really decide how to interact etc., the game tells you where to go and that's that. Perhaps this will change later on, but I don't want to play until these horrbile bugs are fixed. It's no fun, when the character keeps turning in the wrong direction, jumps, when it should run and vice versa and the situations when it just doesn't stop running!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DreamBreak is a Short and Minimalist game but a wonderful unique single player artistic adventure experience that for sure i cant miss in my videoludic life experience. The enviroments atmosphere is very immersive and nostalgic feeling and the pixel graphics and animation is lovely the Music is very good too. Sadly There is not much Storytelling,Not much things to do too and gameplay is very limited but anyway the different minigames i encounter during the gameplay help me to forget this lack limits in the game, you can explore different places with point and click commands by use the mouse cursor click left/right for walk/run, click up head character for jump,click up near obstacles for climb etc Sometime you must find objects and use it,other time mus fix different puzzles, avoid/distract enemies with objects, jump/climb ostacles ,find different path. When you reach near an enemy you can fight him by use shield for stop his gun bullets or you can shoot to him with gun too. There is ...

Comrades, this game is awesome! I've completed the game using keyboard and mouse and can say that controls are sometimes working strange, but still the overall experience is fine. Fine art piece with pixel graphics and retro-styled music. I totally recommend it.

I would recommend it at a sale price. I enjoyed it mostly due to the visuals and charming old school vibe. It's a short game with a weak story and easy puzzles, but it has a cool style to it and it was enjoyable to play through for me. Some of the vehicle sections had me chuckling a bit, because it felt so nostalgic. Sale price for sure though.
