Journey Of The Broken Circle Strives To Be Whole This Month
An existential platformer, Journey of the Broken Circle is a puzzle title from Lovable Hat Cults, quite possibly one of the best dev names out there, is out next week.
What’s it about? It’s about an incomplete circle striving to become whole by rolling through ‘a wondrous and hazardous land’, absorbing various shapes to make it complete.
Each of the shapes encountered has a unique mechanic which can be used to solve the puzzles as you… roll with it. Such skills allow the circle to float, cling to objects or be rewarded with an extra step.
On the comparison between the game and the experience of being human, they wanted to make a game “about a limbless circle. But a very human circle!”
Here’s a Journey of the Broken Circle trailer for you:
Get this: three days after launch, owners of any Nakana.io games (who released the poignant Lydia) can claim this for free on the Nintendo Switch.
Journey of the Broken Circle releases on Steam and the Nintendo eShop on the 18th of September.
