Hey everyone and this is my review about the game! This is a platform puzzle game. Interface/Menu/Settings No options but you are able to turn off the sound or music. About the game. You play with a character that is able to spawn a shadow. The shadow is needed to complete puzzles too. whenever you are using the shadow it will be like a ghost which is doing the exact same walking patterns as you did. Sometimes you need them to step on those head in order to move on. Like making a bridge. It somehow sometimes reminds me of the lemmings but its not close to that. The game is very short and levels are quite easy to beat. There are around 30 levels and you are able to complete the game in less then a hour. For it's price i think it is worth it. Fully voiced over sound. Text font is really terrible and difficult to read. Music is repititve and there is only 1 track. Game is short. Simple Controls. Other things. Music could be annoying after awhile. You can't have a gangbang with your shadows. I Completed the game in 47 Minutes. ------------------- I Give this game a 7/10

(Got this game long ago from a long forgotten source...) The real monster isn't an obsessive lover, but the depression he feels from a broken/timid heart... Ah yes, this game spoke to me personally...and I've been there several times in my sad lifetime. Now, there are actually several ways you can interpret this game, though most may agree on only one being the truth...but I'll save this for a bit later. Broken Dreams is a platform puzzle game much like Alter World except it's easier, more fun, and far less bullsh*t. Your goal is simple. Find the bench/girl and find yourself a way to meet your goal. The gimmick this time, however, is the ability to create shadow clones to repeat the actions you programmed in with your own character's body...the "time travel shadow clones" if you will...which I'm certain I've seen in other games before. Sometimes there are red barriers you can pass...and others will be black barriers that the girl and shadows cannot pass. Overall, the experience in it's totality should only take 30 minutes. The music is the same selection you've heard in the trailer labeled "It's hard to let go" (the name alone sets the mood of the entire game's plot) by Michael Ortega, which is more commonly referred to as "Sad Piano" by other users. There are also two voice actors, both of which do a great job with the narrated story. Now...for the story... it involves a boy who meets a girl. Smitten with her, he tries to meet her, yet she almost always eludes him. At one point, she disappears and, heartbroken from the abandonment, he gets needy...desperate...creepy. He feels like he NEEDS to be with the one he loves even if the feelings are not mutual. As the game goes on, the once sane-seeming boy seems to lose himself with despair and obsession. I've seen this story in a few friends I've met in life and even in myself... The plot can be interpretted in various ways....did Michelle ever love the Jake? Did she only agree to meet him only so that she could find a way to run away from him? Did she abandon him because of his obsession...or was she the one who is blamed for tempting and abandoning him, leaving him in a worse state than he was initially in? Did he abuse her? Was he a stalker? One may never tell, but I will say that abandonment will bring out the worst in someone. That's what makes this game's story hit home for me... So, the obvious question...is it worth the purchase/playthrough? Well, not for full price ($2), but for a sale, it's $0.50 (well worth that price). There are no achievements, but there are card drops. Also, it may occur that Steam and AVG Free may not load this game because they think it's a virus. Rest assured if this happens, it's a false positive. 8/10 Love is full of Broken Dreams , but this game does not.

See written review below or watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXm6eRrL-98 Broken Dreams is a casual platformer with some minor puzzle aspects. By moving around and copying yourself, you must find your way through the levels. You move around, and then make a shadow of yourself as you return to the starting location. Your shadow carries out the actions you made. You can repeat many times and use your shadows to complete the levels. Pros: [*]cheap to buy [*]steam Trading Cards [*]music was pleasant [*]good concept with the shadows (reminded me a little of Braid) [*]simple, casual gameplay if you're looking for something quick Cons: [*]voice acting was irritating and over-done [*]short (but for the cost this was expected) [*]mediocre story Conclusion: Overall, I did enjoy the gameplay, but wish it had been longer. The voice acting was the most annoying part for me to experience. But after buying the game on sale, and selling the trading cards, it only cost me about $0.30, I feel I got my money's worth.

Got this game because I got a 90% off coupon. I really like this game, I love this style of puzzle game and the voice acting (for the guy anyway) is pretty solid and adds to the feel of the game. The art style is pretty nice and the music is calming. I'd give this a 9/10. For a cheap little game it is quite satisfying.
