I don't exactly know what this is, but it is good. It's not exactly a game, nor is it a walking simulator. It feels like a portal into another world, a feeling I have not felt in a long time from a game. I say it isn't a walking simulator, because the abilities provided make the game way more fun than most. The first section feels like a whole game, but then you enter the hub and everything feels so much more massive. This game caught me off guard because of this. I thought it would be a small, 1 hour experience. But I was given this sprawling world to explore. You slowly get your abilities in the first world, and then you have the entire rest of the game to apply them. This feels simply amazing, and never got stale for me. It felt like instead of having to give me new ones to keep it interesting, the game just kept finding new uses for them. Superb design. It is not grounded in reality (perhaps because it is broken, ha!). It is its own strange world. It feels familiar to me, mostly because I was really into vaporwave in middle school. Had I found this game earlier, I would have never shut up about it and made it my whole personality. It is sombre, and quite most of the time. The atmosphere of these places you are exploring is the meat of it. Tying it together are little stories. Side quests, some overarching stuff, and of course, the cryptic indie game finale. It is referencing both real world things, and things that I either don't remember, or things that I just forgot. It is a strange piece of art. You are place into a world to explore, and you just do so. Nothing else, nothing less. 9.5/10. There are one or two frustrating moments, but nothing a quick search can fix. Ultimately, this game delivers on providing access to another world, and is something I feel everyone should at least try.

What a fun game and I bought it because of the vaporwave aesthetics and the fond memories I had in an era when it was popular. The playthrough, chanllenges, quests etc. It was all very fun and laid back which is always nice. Man, the ending! The ending was WOW.

A very good walking sim type game in which you traverse various areas and servers modeled after the 90s vaporwave style. The gameplay consists of amassing likes, which then open up new areas. You get a couple items, such as a katana to slice away viruses and a finger to click on things, but the game is overall rather simple and only has a few puzzles you need to solve to progress. You meet strange characters and follow the mystery of this weird server/website you found yourself on, solve a couple quests for likes and there's even some secrets! I love the style and the music of the game and it's pretty relaxing to play overall. I do think there could be a bit more to it, as there are only very few easy puzzles and most of the game consists of walking back and forth, but with a length of about 6 hours, that's not too bad. I did encounter a few UI bugs that were solved by a restart, but other than that, I don't have any complaints - for what it is, Broken Reality is a fun and interesting glimpse into the 90s internet aesthetic mixed with some modern terms (such as likes), modeled into 3D areas. Definitely worth a look if any of this sounds interesting to you and I look forward to the sequel!

honestly shocked this game doesn't have a bigger community. picked it up on sale for crazy cheap and didn't really know what to expect, but i was instantly sucked in (and have definitely been playing longer than steam says i have, not sure what's up with that--it's only counting the hours from my first play session). the visuals and story are engaging, and if you're into games that encourage exploration then you will love this one.

This game isn't real i think but i was playing a game so i dont know if it was a game or if i was just playing the other game and was actually playing this game or playing the other game but it fun tho.
