Description: Broken Blue is a Puzzle Solving VR Game that utilizes an innovative interface to allow the player to traverse and explore the game’s content. In Broken Blue the player assumes the role of “Blue” an AI who’s program and systems have become broken down by the flow of time. Blue is supposed to be the guardian of a mountain machine and the protector of the monkey monks who dwell there. Follow Blue and their guide “The Caretaker” through a series of puzzles to repair Blue’s systems and restore Blue’s Consciousness to full functionality.
Review: I would almost say the developer of this game never tested their own product. Broken Blue is as nauseating as it gets and that means a lot coming from someone as VR hardened as me. This interactive puzzle game is an odd one for sure and maybe the product of labour for the developer, but it doesn’t change the fact of how basic everything is. From the terrible graphics to the text boards rather than simple speech, this game is raw to its highest form. But at least it is free so maybe you can check it out for yourself.
