Seek out the paranormal in the survival thriller game set in a French village from developers Elsewhere Experience and publisher Freedom Games as they release their title Broken Pieces. It may have just been released on PC via Steam and Epic Games, but they are already planning to release it on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S as soon as October 31st as a spooky Halloween treat for horror fans.

Walk along the cobblestone streets of the quaint, empty village of Saint-Exil as Elise tries to find her missing fiance, Pierre, amongst supernatural threats. Solve puzzles inspired by the real-life mysteries of Brittany, France, and collect clues to uncover the truth behind an eclectic cult to escape a town stuck outside of time. Survive antagonistic shadow monsters, upgrade weapons, and take control of Elise’s own unexplainable abilities.

Control elements of the town like the weather or fixed camera angles to progress through roadblocks and uncover hidden bits of information in the form of cassette tapes. Gather important facts and evidence to understand the goals of the cult and what caused the town to become a prison for Elise. Extra cassette collectibles can also provide essential benefits for survival, but not in the way one might expect.

Interestingly enough, Elise’s story takes place in a total hush, with no background music to lighten up the mood. To fill the silence, the original licensed soundtrack can only be played from discoverable tapes that Pierre left behind. Are you ready to try something different with Broken Pieces?
