A downloadable game

Breakdown is a top-down psychological horror game created in the RPG Maker MZ engine that explores declining mental health and the effects it can have on a person's perception of reality.

You play as matt Kennedy, a teenager who has been struggling with his mental health. He wakes up in his old hometown  with no memory of how he got there. Now determined to find a way back home, he must uncover the truth behind his return.

As matt revisits familiar places and encounters people from his past, he gradually uncovers the events that led him back. Along the way, the choices he makes can permanently shape his future.

will he be able to uncover the truth and get back home, or will he remain trapped in his own personal breakdown?

The game combines the psychological storytelling and character-driven narrative of Cry of Fear with the exploration and puzzle-solving found in classic top-down horror games like Ao Oni.

you will be dealing with enemies which you can either try and flee from them or stand your ground and fight. Killing them allows you to pick up some items that can help matt out but remember, you only have limited room in your bag so be careful of what you want to carry as the more you have, the slower you run....

there is also unique puzzle solving, with you having to use a range of items and codes to solve them but some may need you to break the forth wall to solve them...

Darkness plays a major role in Breakdown. While some areas are lit, many are shrouded in darkness. You'll need to find ways to light your path, but not every source of light is permanent...
