Broken Through

I REALLY enjoyed this game! Thank you so much for creating it.

I enjoyed your game. I liked the journey, and the conclusion was very satisfying. The transition from Jolly Jipper to emotional discomfort to euphoria was well paced.

Oh. my. god. This is definitely one of the BEST games I have ever played on this platform. The audio, the concept, the visuals, absolutely immaculate! I haven't seen such a well-constructed game like this on here for a while! BRAVO

visuals - 10/10

gameplay - 10/10

storyline - 10/10

Following to keep in the loop, please keep up the good work!

goddamn you make some amazing games. i had to stop to remind myself to breathe more than once playing through this.
great job on visuals, audio, story and everything in between. one of the best itch games i've experienced.

Great game! I absolutely loved it! Though it was terrifying at first the further I got the more I loved it.

And once again Jordan you have created a masterpiece with this game. There is something special about your horror games compared to others. The reason why your games stand out to me is because of the brilliant storytelling and the way that you use indirect foreshadowing in order to connect the entire story as a whole once the plot twist is revealed. I have made 322 videos on my channel, and out of all of them, this game is my second favorite video that I've ever made while your previous game "The Shopping List" still remains as my number one even after several months of uploading and playing other games. 

The ending of this game really got to me. I don't know if this is what you were truly trying to do but this is what I interpreted based on what I saw: All of the people that were trapped in the video game had been missing for several years, and due to the misery that they've suffered from the entity as well as how much time had passed, they unfortunately developed certain disorders/problems due to the pain that they suffered from. The name of the levels when we had to save the souls is what made that obvious for me: Despair, Dementia, Depression, Grandsons Safe Zone (which would be a sense of belonging). Each of these characters embodied those underlying themes. 

Due to Barney spending 10 years trapped in the video game, he had lost all hope that he would ever return home, thus succumbing to his despair. 

Carlos had already appeared to have been an old man who was trapped in the game for several years as well. The development of his dementia is due to him relieving the same torture from the entity for all this time, recreating the same memories over and over again. It eventually interfered with the positive memories that he had in order to subconsciously cope with the fact that this is where he will now stay forever. 

Dave Owens eventually started to suffer from depression because of all the misery and suffering that he had endured from the entity for so many years. His spirit was broken because he had accepted that he would never be able to go back home, the place that made him happy. 

And Leo suffered from not having any sense of belonging; hence the name of the level "Grandson's safe zone." A person's safe zone is where they feel they are belonged. Hence the reason why Leo asked Evan "Did anyone even remember me after I disappeared?" Leo was unsure if he still had a sense of belonging within the hearts of the people that were close to him after all these years of him missing. He felt lost, isolated, and lonely. 

These four underlying themes that you conveyed within your game and the way that you had your characters embody them was PHENOMENAL. While The Shopping List is still my favorite game that I've played on my channel so far, there is none that has ever had a better ending than Broken Through. If you want you can skip to the ending of my video roughly at around 23:59. I used very heartwarming background music at the end cause I felt like it would fit with the ending. 

You will make it big one day Jordan. Trust me when I tell you this. Don't ever give up. If I'm being completely honest, you make Puppet Combo look like they're overrated.

The game had a really nice story and I'm not gonna lie. I kinda wish you did charge for the game for how good it is. I recommend getting it on Steam.

This was really good! It has really good visuals, an interesting story, a nice soundtrack and simple yet effective gameplay, can't believe this was free! Amazing work!!

What a ride! Thank you so much for making this! It is a phenomenal, atmospheric game. I especially loved the potato chip commercial, it was quite adorable. 

This was so good. I was a huge fan of the shopping list and this was not a disappointment. Fantastic horror game! Great job!

This is very good and fantastic game. So thank-you for sharing us

This was excellent. The tension in some of the "levels", the creepy artwork, the overall feeling of tension but the undeniably upbeat tone of the ending and your journey to save the souls, just a great game through and through. Excellent work and I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for future projects from you!

This game was incredible, detailed and thought provoking! Im still shocked over all the work and time you mustve put in for this! thank you for this masterpiece!

Literally just Created an account just to try this game!

Fun game!

THIS IS A MUST PLAY, BEST INDIE HORROR GAME I HAVE PLAYED THIS YEAR

Great game from you Jordan Lindgren.

Really good game

Excellent game plot, 100% air potato chips, right

I have played your previous games and I have enjoyed every single one. I can tell that you have developed with your programming skills as well as taught yourself the underlying psychology behind horror games. I quickly took note to the fact that we get to drive the car ourselves, which is a minor improvement from “shopping list.” Good job, I truly enjoyed the experience :)

amazing game, great story and the art style is amazing.

actually such an awesome experience

HOLY SHIT this was amazing! I would pay for this even

Really cool game! Great experience! Keep up the good work, JordiBoi!

I did a let's play, I'm sorry but I had a brain fart and call you James multiple times.

Broken Through is very much a linear game in which the Horror happens to you as you progress through the game and it's because of that that I feel more comfortable calling it an experience, and a great one at that. 

The visuals were great, even beautiful at times. The music sort of felt like it was one more play away from being repetitive but that isn't an issue. The sound design is great and you know you're in trouble when the thumpy bass starts to kick in (or go away). The story is good and unexpectedly wholesome by the end, something you don't see very often these days. 

I never felt bored or frustrated and these are very important things to nail in a horror game. 

Great job!

Thanks for making games!

Thy hath giveth us a game we shall playeth ! i hope you enjoy the intro and the video overall ! :D

Awesome game, waiting for another :D
