Unbroken: The Awakening

Unbroken: The Awakening is an action-adventure set in Crests Edge, a kingdom caught in turmoil. You pursue the traitor Nielsen, who is hiding somewhere in the realm, and must decide how to follow your goal—or whether to abandon it. Your quest unfolds amid the Feast of the 3rd Moon and the Earl’s Rebellion, with five full moons to complete it. Crests Edge is shaped by stark class divisions, reflected in its architecture, technology, clothing, language, and customs. The game pairs a retro sprite-based first-person style with modern lighting, physics, ragdolls, and destructible environments. Player choices affect a progressing timeline, while multiple routes lead toward different endings.
