Dec. 2024

Rating: 9/10 "Breakout 13" is not just a game; it's an experience that delves deep into the dark corridors of real-life issues, wrapped in an engaging FMV (Full Motion Video) narrative. Here's why it's worth your time: Narrative and Immersion: From the moment you start, "Breakout 13" grips you with its compelling story based on true events. The narrative is rich with moral dilemmas, where each choice feels impactful, not only on the storyline but also emotionally. The game's setting in a correctional institute under the shadow of the controversial Dr. Yang provides a chilling backdrop that is both educational and thought-provoking. Gameplay Mechanics: The game shines with its innovative use of interactive elements for an FMV game. Quick Time Events (QTEs), clue gathering, puzzle-solving, and real-time surveillance add layers of engagement that keep the gameplay dynamic. These mechanics aren't just for show; they're integral to advancing the plot and uncovering the dark secrets of the institute. Visuals and Audio: The cinematics are well-executed, capturing the emotional weight of each scene. The actors deliver performances that enhance the authenticity of the experience, making every decision feel consequential. The soundtrack complements the tense atmosphere, although at times it could be more varied to match the diversity of emotional states in the game. Branching Storylines: With thousands of potential storylines and multiple endings, "Breakout 13" offers replay value that few narrative games manage. Each playthrough can yield a different perspective on the characters and their fates, making the game not just about escaping but about understanding the complex web of human relationships and societal issues. Challenges and Criticisms: The game might be too intense for some, given its subject matter, which involves themes of abuse and psychological manipulation. This could be a trigger for some players, so content warnings are well-placed throughout. Also, while the game does a commendable job with its interactive elements, there are moments where the pacing could be better managed, particularly in the second part where the narrative can feel a bit stretched. Conclusion: "Breakout 13" is a brave and poignant narrative game that dares to explore uncomfortable truths through the lens of interactive storytelling. It's a must-play for those who appreciate games that challenge them morally and intellectually. ALT Lab has crafted not just a game but a conversation starter on the ethics of control, the impact of authority, and the resilience of the human spirit. Highly recommended for fans of narrative-driven games looking for something with both heart and horror.

The story is great and have a satisfying ending. But unlocking all the plots is a nightmare, so confusing. Wish it was done better

Nov. 2024

In terms of story, this is one of the best FMVs I have played. I rooted for each character and was really engrossed in it. I finished it in one setting and plan to complete the endings. I will miss these characters. It's a must-play for story lovers.

May 2024

Excellent FMV game with an engaging story and many choices, but don't expect those choices to dramatically change the story flow. It's more like the formula popularized by the Telltale games where you have a good illusion of control as long as you keep it a single run. If you try other choices in a different run, you'll probably unlock a hidden ending, but you won't get far so don't expect too much from that point. It's very easy to go back and try another choice with its built-in storyline flowchart, so you don't have to start from the begining each time. And there's a skip scene button for already watched scenes, something that many other FMV games lack. It's a but pricey compared to other FMV games, but considering that a single run takes about 6-7 hours to complete and is very much enjoyable, I highly recommend this game to anyone wanting to follow a good FMV story, among the best you can find here.

Feb. 2024

Although there is not much skill involved and to there are many little changes you can go back over and over again to find the many different pathways, this game has been really quite enjoyable. The video footage with the simple gameplay and abilities to make decisions which influence other characters is fun. The story is overall very engaging, the actors are great. I've replayed it many times to get different outcomes, so I'm thinking it has kept me interested!
