Broken Pieces could exist somewhere on Parasite Eve‘s timeline. If it swapped out its protagonist for George Stobbart, it could be at home in the Broken Sword universe. If it threw in some shambling zombies, an infectious plague, and a smattering of hamfisted voice acting, it’d fit well with early Resident Evil games. Quite often, you are literally alone in the dark. And so if it were a movie, its masterful use of isolation as a storytelling mechanic could draw loose comparisons with Hitchcock and Welles.Â
