The Weirdest Game I’ve Ever Made
Broken Files is now available (for free)! This game is a series of personal firsts. It has voice acting. It has a character, and she does dialog to you. It seems like the sort of thing that would feel at home on itch.io, so it’s there too. And it contains no code, so it runs on everything – in fact, it doesn’t run at all.
This is so cool! It’s an ARG-style puzzle where you have to edit hex codes using clues in a .zip you download from her site. I know that might sound a little sketchy, but she’s the dev behind the ad blocker I use, Wipr 2, and she also uploaded the game to itch.io, so I trust it. I won’t spoil anything, but I will say I made it to the shrine and learned a bit about hex editing in the process.
Worth noting: it’s not an impossibly complicated Cicada 3301 level ARG, so don’t overthink it!
