Game description:
John’s journey into the silent corridors of his grandmother Emma's house begins just after the solemn news of his grandfather Clark's passing. Intent on comforting Emma, he arrives only to find an eerie absence and a house whispering secrets through its cold, abandoned rooms. The air thickens with mystery as John stands before Emma’s locked room, confronted by a chilling note that reads, “Do not open.”
Delving Deeper into the Shadows
Driven by a mix of concern and curiosity, John’s visit quickly turns into a nerve-racking investigation into the shadows of his family’s history. The game intricately layers clues through handwritten notes and personal belongings scattered throughout the house. Each piece is a puzzle, entwined with echoes of the past and the unspoken tensions that once permeated these walls. As John uncovers hidden objects and faded memories, the narrative weaves a gripping tale of familial bonds strained by dark secrets.
Gameplay and Immersion in a Mysterious World
The Broken Vow immerses players in a point-and-click adventure, where every interaction peels back layers of the story’s mysterious veil. Controls are intuitively designed, with WASD for movement and the mouse to navigate and interact, bringing the static environment to life. A lighter can be flicked on with a press of 'F', casting light in dark corners, while 'Shift' allows for a quick dash, useful in times of need. This free-to-play, short-form game is enriched by dual-language subtitles, inviting a broader audience to explore its subtle horrors within a 15-20 minute narrative that’s as haunting as it is enthralling.
