About Broken Pieces

Please wishlist the game to stay up to date! Mainly created by a team of 5 people, Broken Pieces is the first game to come out of the French game development studio Elseware Experience. When Elise and her fiancé decided to leave urban life and settle near the French coast, she could not imagine that she would end up completely alone. Now, surrounded by strange phenomena in a dark, post-Cold War climate, Elise will have to investigate and unravel the mysteries surrounding the region of Saint-Exil, its ritualistic cult, and its lighthouse overlooking the coast.

Broken Pieces is an action-packed investigative and adventure video game set in France. The game puts you in the shoes of Elise, a woman in her thirties who finds herself in the village of Saint-Exil in an imaginary region reminiscent of Brittany. Following an unexplained paranormal phenomenon, Elise is stuck, completely alone and out of time. Your investigation begins here… Playtime : 9 to 12h. DLSS supported. Explore the area of Saint-Exil and its surroundings in the 1990s.

Enjoy a completely revised version of the camera system that accompanied legendary game franchises of the 90s, aimed at providing greater flexibility and player agency. Switch between 2 camera angles in any situation or drop into a first-person view to have a closer look around. Interact with the environment to learn more about what has happened to you in Saint-Exil.…
