Remothered: Broken Porcelain

Remothered: Broken Porcelain

Remothered: Broken Porcelain is the second part of a trilogy of games that the development team Stormnind Games promises to present with its director Chris Darril. This version recounts the events that precede and follow the first installment, Remothered: Tormented Fathers, which was awarded a lot of admiration for its similarity to the Clock Tower series, but the game received a number of criticisms of the narrative style and the very complex history as well as some technical aspects. The second part corrected the errors of the first part? This is what you will find out through this review.

The first part puts us in the role of Rosemary Reed, who investigates the disappearance of the girl Celeste Felton, and the second part tells the events before and after the first part, in which further circumstances are revealed about the strange drug Phenoxyl that returns to her past and focuses on the girl Jennifer and the terrible events she experiences. In Ashmann Inn, although the story intermittently returns to the present to focus on Rosemary Reed’s next step in her quest, the narrative style is very chaotic, as it takes us back to the past and then to the present, then suddenly returning to the very distant past, with occasional jumps into the distant future! The non-linear narrative style of the events is not necessarily a bad thing. We find it interesting when used correctly, but Broken Porcelain uses this style in disastrous ways, making things more complicated than necessary.

Gameplay and Narrative

If you follow the story and understand its details, despite the complications, it is still an exciting story that tries to be as realistic and tragic as possible, and it still touches on some crimes and actions that may make the player uncomfortable feels the ugliness of these crimes and the images that come to mind when… However, upon listening, the story strangely touched on some supernatural explanations in its events, which breaks the rhythm in a strange way, and it is unfortunate that some Despite the good overall structure of the story in terms of coherence (once you get past the problem of complex narrative), troubling thoughts arose, but the character construction was poor and even chaotic. You play the role of Jennifer, who is described without explanation as rebellious and causing problems, and the nature and actions of the characters around you have not been justified. Additionally, many of the details you read in the files don’t add much to your understanding of the story, but the fleeting dialogues in general. Surprising important details are revealed!

When it comes to the graphical level, the environments in the game are beautiful and rich in details and elements to interact with. Despite the improvement over the previous version, the animation of the characters’ movements and lip movements as well as their synchronization with the voice are improved. The acting performance is still below par. On the audible level, the melodies are audible during the moments when you are being chased by an enemy, and these melodies are generally effective because they stimulate tension appropriately, in addition to the variety of these melodies between the different parts of the game. Unfortunately, the game is so “broken” on a technical level that we doubted our ability to finish it in order to submit this review. The characters will stop playing. Interaction: If you’re trying to escape, you’ll often be content to stand in front of the enemy to kill. While escaping, you can press the corresponding button to open a door that is in your way, but you will be surprised when the character goes to one of the tables near the door to open his drawers. We’re also no longer able to count the occasions when we’ve had to go back to the main menu and reload the experience because one of the items or puzzles doesn’t interact with what we’re doing.

Gaming Experience

Now, what about the gaming experience? Unfortunately, this element is also full of flaws. The experience here often requires you to flee from enemies or face them and overcome them to move on to the next part. Both aspects have flaws. The enemies will chase you very quickly, and escaping from them will become a difficult and tedious process. If you want to defeat them, you often have to…hide and then sneak up behind them to stab them from behind with a sharp object. What’s annoying is that they can hardly get away. They are a window to attack. Even after escaping them and roaming again, they will quickly and continuously look left and right and suddenly turn around without following any particular routine that will help you complete the mission. You can imagine that the experience follows the same term every hour.

The story took five and a half hours to complete and this experience is perhaps one of those very rare experiences that was so bad on all levels that we wanted to stop reviewing it, but we found ourselves enduring this suffering and They could warn it is in the best interest of players not to play through it. Remothered: Broken Porcelain promised to fix the shortcomings of its predecessor. It built on its strengths but fell short, leaving us with a disastrous experience that killed any enthusiasm we had for the final installment of this trilogy.
