   The developer solved all the major bugs that were presents at launch. Now I recommend the game to all survival horror fans.

   Nice to see how good horror game series are progressing recently. Remothered is a gem in this panorama. I have waited long for BrokenNice to see how good horror game series are progressing recently. Remothered is a gem in this panorama. I have waited long for Broken Porcelain, and I am very satisfied. A strong indie game with great atmosphere and graphics, thrilling gameplay, and a complex story. I appreciated the cinematic look and feel that shows a good upgrade from the previous title (Remothered Tormented Fathers). Not to be missed for all the fans of horror. They say it's a trilogy, I look forward to what comes next.… Expand

   Have beaten the game twice now and might even go for the third run and on.

I know this game has gotten many negative reviews due to the game bugs and clunky controls. The dev team has been working hard to fix them and already sent out patches on all platforms. Personally, I don't mind the extra challenge fighting against the enemies with at times frustrating gameplay mechanics. I think it's a true survival horror at its best. When you encounter a terrifying enemy who overpowers you in every way and try to run away from him/her, the panic and anxiety you would suffer are well felt in this game.
   The graphics improved tremendously over the already great-looking first one. The story was amazingly written. I went back to play the first one afterwards and felt I understood and appreciated the whole story even more. Definitely recommend this game to not only the horror fans but also story-driven fans.… Expand

Apart from the regrettable state of development the game hasAs a huge fan of Remothered: Tormented Father, I couldn't be more disappointed. Apart from the regrettable state of development the game has been released in (I haven’t never played a game with so many bugs). The developers eliminated almost everything I love from the first game and replaced it for pointless, uncomfortable and needlessly complicated battle, inventory managing and skill improving systems. A complex and original conceptual story isn't equivalent to a good script. I would have rated this game at least 5, if the only mistakes were the bugs. But saddly this game is lacking in much more than just programming. The script, the dynamics’ design, the choices regarding the storytelling, even the character’s design seems strange and forced.
   
   Regarding the technical issues, they make the game artificially long, just because controls were so awfull something easy became an odyssey or bugs kept appearing and I had to rack my brain in order to come up with a way of “avoiding” them
   
   Regarding game dynamics:
   
   -I don’t understand the point in introducing an abilities tree in a game so short and with so simple and clunky mechanics.
   
   -The instructions didn’t explain a lot of essential dynamics making the game upsetting and artificially difficult.
   
   -The riddles, which were the core of Tormented Fathers, are completely absent here.
   
   -The oppressive sensation of being trapped inside the same building and unable to scape, the progressive world widening with new hiding places and new threats of the first game is absent here. The game is chopped in a lot of short fragments continuously jumping between temporal moments and different tiny scenarios ruining the claustrophobic experience completely.
   
   Finally, regarding the plot:
   
   -The story has a very original and complex concept with a huge potential to create a unique an awesome script but has been awfully adapted to video game format and fall into inconsistencies which are painful to see. I played the first game and understood its plot completely after reflecting on it for a while, but I was so confused after finishing this that I had to read the wiki of the game and I continued finding some huge plot holes. I don’t know how a person who hasn’t played the first game could understand this one at all. If I would have bought the game without playing the first part, I would feel even more ripped off.
   
   -Random characters/situations throw a lot of incomplete, mixed and crucial information to your face in the strangest most forced moments and dialogues possible which takes out all the credibility of the story.
   
   -The story was too complicated and extensive for a videogame, in his current state it would be more suitable for a novel or a TV series than for a videogame, especially a horror title. This excess of characters and subplots translates into a succession of characters appearing without time to properly develops or for the player to understand what their exact role is and most of the story being told through cryptic dialogues/monologues instead of showing it with actual events, because the game should last much more in order to actually show in a comprehensive way everything it pretend to include. As a result of the excess of plot and little attention to the gameplay, the playable parts feel like a forced filling needed in order to call the product a videogame instead of a film.
   
   The rhythm and tone of the storytelling is erratic. Extremely tense/disturbing moments (which try to convey the oppressive atmosphere of the situation the characters are in) are interspersed with cheesy teenage lovey-dovey and soap-opera like heavy drama moments without prior notice. This kills all the tension and the dark atmosphere the game tries to build. In the first game the plot was focused in the awful consequences of using horrible medicament and the immoral experiments which were made with it adorned with the disturbing story of Richardine Felton. I can’t tell what Broken porcelain is about. The main plot of the Phenoxyl mixed with Acherontia moths and its extremely complex hypnotic and amnesic effects is involved in everything but is explained in less than a minute in a brief video. While we have several too long cinematics of Jennifer and Lynn talking about irrelevant stuff or just flirting. If their love story would have been properly introduced in the first game or written in a realistic and atmosphere congruent way this cringy and anticlimactic cinematics wouldn’t exist and part of the time invested in explaining a simple love story (which is so bad written that seems hurried despite all the time invested in it) could have been used to explain in a minimally comprehensive way all the hypnotic/amnesic mess.
   
   The only good points are that the concept of the plot has potential to be awesome, the ost is good, the graphics are better than the first part (specially the sceneries) and the setting is good. The rest is a huge mess.… Expand
