Broken Reality is a 3D Exploration game developed by Dynamic Media Triad and published by Digital Tribe. It was released on November 29, 2018 on Steam.NATEM is an online chatroom in the year 2045, offering fully immersive online browsing, chatting, and shopping. As a new user, you are encouraged by the helpful Onee Chan to collect Likes by clicking on ads, shopping, and helping out other users to become as popular as possible. NATEM provides a variety of servers with vibrantly different, retro aesthetics, influenced by both Vaporwave and 90's pop culture into a dizzyingly nostalgic and melancholy blend. All is not well in NATEM, and early on you are asked by those in the know to help plumb its secrets.A sequel has been announced: Broken Reality 2000

Anachronism Stew: Despite being set in the distant future of 2045, just about everything regarding NATEM, from its structure to its aesthetic, is themed around how the real-world internet was during The '90s.

Crapsaccharine World: On the surface, NATEM looks like a pretty harmless social network. Even if its users seem vapid and self-absorbed at times, they're all fairly normal and even friendly to the player. But even at the beginning, something about the place just feels wrong. Between the amount of viruses infesting the servers, the broken state of Aquanet, and some of the books found in Furrobotto's secret room, it's clear that something very wrong is going on as you keep digging deeper.

Annoying Pop-Up Ad: Viruses in the game are primarily depicted this way, being suspicious glitchy advertisements that block pathways and can only be removed via being hacked to bits with a katana.

Punny Name: Several throughout the game. Domo Paradissio is the main level featured in the game's demo. Axis Plaza provides access to all parts of the web. Geo City is a reference to GeoCities. The Innernet is the game's equivalent to the deep web.

Metroidvania: Played straight in Domo Paradisso, in which you gradually obtain new items that allow you to access previously unreachable sections of the stage. After that, however, your gear remains static for the rest of the game barring a few upgrades to it.

Domo Paradisso has Chozai, AquaNet has Socrates, Geo City has the owner of Blaze Runner, Love Cruise 64 has Captain Johnson, and Innernet has Buddha, who allows you to leave. The very end of the game has an Art Shift to a realistic apartment, complete with a human woman in a naturalistic style instead of the polygonal avatars seen before then.

comment
Credit Card Plot: Invoked with the upay card you get near the beginning. You immediately go into the red when you start using it to buy items, which you must do in order to progress. And the game even encourages reckless spending with the shopping mini-game. Once you reach GeoCity, however, you'll have to Work Off the Debt in order to progress, though thankfully the Phisherman will give you an upgraded card that will give you money for buying things instead to make this much easier.

Trippy Finale Syndrome: While every other level has a unifying theme of some sort, The Innernet is a bizarre series of disconnected, eye-searing locations with seemingly no relation to each other apart from their disturbing nature. Some of its locations in particular make it look like the "hell" of NATEM.
