Broken Psyche

Alright, first a premise. At first I was very afraid I was going to have a very frustrating experience with this game, mainly because of the reviews I had read and the comments of the dev himself, that defined his own game as very cruel, harsh and punishing. Definitely not a good start, right? Fortunately, now that I have 100%ed the game, I can say in all honesty that I completely disagree with such definitions. I know what the dev truly meant in his comments, but actually this game is not cruel, nor punishing. It is, very simply, a game that respects the intelligence of the player. There's no tutorial, no hand holding, you have to figure everything out all by yourself. You are completely alone, and all the game demands is just a bit of attention. Yes, the punishment for mistakes is almost always immediate death, but the checkpoints are many and even generous, so I honestly don't understand where all this frustration might come from. In an age where games always tell you what to do and where to go, to the point of being even annoying, I say that a game like this, that treats you like an intelligent life form who can solve its problems on its own, is a nice breath of fresh air. But …

I am very intrigued by this game. The atmosphere just pulled me in. It's a weird asylum. Each floor seems to have their own rules etc. It even has voice over work. This brings the game world to life more. The story revolves around the player character lookin into details on his wife's disappearance. I love this graphic style. Can't go wrong with the old. I've barely gotten into the game but I can say that it is worth the money. I plan to dive in more. If ur into horror give this one a go. Gameplay Impressions: https://youtu.be/zoOgV2pdxpc

It's a splendid take on the mental/psychological horror genre. I'm a massive Resident Evil fan, and this was unique, and it kept some elements I could relate to in both games. It yields several jump scares, a disturbingly haunting atmosphere, interesting puzzles, and an easy story to follow. I beat the game and every level got better and better. It was definitely worth the price - it was quite a lot of fun despite being quite challenging to learn at the start. Also has some banger music. I need the OST somewhere!

Broken Psyche is a psychological horror experience that prioritizes atmosphere and mental tension over traditional action, placing players in a bleak and unsettling investigation that gradually unravels into something far more disturbing. You take on the role of a detective searching for his missing wife, a case that leads into an abandoned asylum filled with fragmented clues, hostile entities, and an overwhelming sense that reality itself is beginning to fracture. From the very beginning, the game establishes a tone that is oppressive and uneasy, relying more on slow-building dread than on sudden shock. The gameplay is structured around exploration, puzzle-solving, and survival, with an added emphasis on managing the protagonist’s mental state. As you move through the environment, you are constantly gathering notes, examining objects, and trying to piece together what happened within the asylum. However, the process is complicated by a sanity system that directly affects perception. The more stress the character experiences, the more distorted the world becomes, making navigation and decision-making increasingly difficult. This mechanic adds an interesting layer of tension, as pl…

Audio mixing is totally ♥♥♥♥♥♥ even with the sliders set, First enemy spawned behind me and pushed me against a wall so I couldn't move and just spammed attacks for 2 minutes until I died

this would be cool if it didnt have terrible design in the monster chases. for some reason the creature from the picture up there is an instant kill and only shows up in hallways, so good luck dodging them. also it seems like the game expects you to do puzzles mid chase sequence, which like, no that sucks. the clown was at least tolerable, but the stuff with the suck creature just sucks lol. oh yeah, if you dont buy the cigarette item or you run out, the game will just start yelling at you and sending ghosts at you to yell. it wont kill you, but you will be annoyed to death lol.
