Broken Colors
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
» EVENTUALLY, WE'RE ALL JUST GONNA BREAK. «
You are a cashier at a convenience store, depressed and lonely with your mundane life, hoping for a bit of excitement. One day you meet a peculiar stranger who's sweet and shy at first, but one kind gesture is all it takes to make him stalk admire you a bit too much and be a danger to everyone else around you. Be careful how you treat him and others, for pain and death will follow you like a shadow. But perhaps fate has other plans for you...

The game was amazing to play! I loved the art style and charecters :D
I wonder if the game is still under development and if a day 2 will be out?
达蒙可爱捏
Much as I enjoy the premise, and lemme also say i LOVE the glimpses into the MC's mental state as well, but the demo itself feels a lot like a first draft to me. I understand Day 1 is meant to be an introduction to the cast, but the mentioning of the regulars I thought were cameos for Patreon supporters before I saw them on the creators socials. There was a lot of telling instead of showing which ain't BAD but didn't always feel necessary for a visual novel ("he let out a small laugh and smiled" then seeing his sprite change to a smile when we could just have the sprite change). For the ending when you're being chased by the serial killer, there was also a bit too much internal dialogue to keep the tension & momentum going.
Ok ok I know I'm harping a lot about stuff, but I DID enjoy playing this and I really wanna know how the story plays out! I just hope that the first day will also get updated as well as the project moves forward is all.
Thanks so much for your honest review! No worries at all, I really appreciate constructive criticism, and I actually agree with the points you made! :)
In my defense, I haven’t written anything in over 15 years, so I kind of expected my writing to be a bit rusty and to have some flaws. That’s why I was honestly surprised that most people seemed totally happy with Day 1, haha.
I’d love to update the chapter, but the problem is that there are already several translations done by native speakers. Any changes I make would mean all those translations would also need to be updated, which I hadn’t really considered at the time. (And honestly, translations weren’t even on our radar for a first-time project, it overwhelmed me a little bit 😅)
Since the translations are done by volunteers, not all of them will stick around or stay in contact with me. For the next chapters, I’ll probably hold off on allowing translations until I’m really satisfied with the English script. So unfortunately, I can’t promise that Day 1 will get another update. With even more languages being added, it would be way too much for me to handle all the retranslation work on my own 😔
All I can promise is that I’ll do my best to make the next chapters tighter and improve the overall flow. Thanks so much for playing and for enjoying it anyway <3

Got to say I've been in this fandom for a while, just never got to play the game myself and honestly getting some first hand experience on it is just amazing! The character designs are just so creative and the game in general is just amazing.
I recently joined this fandom and have fully embraced it. I would like to talk about the game ratings, as well as possible opinions and questions:
Design 10/10, colors are well chosen
And pleasing to the eye.
Story ?/10, since the game is not fully released yet, I like how it develops, at least the first day introduces us to the story right away.
Characters?/10 Honestly, we haven't been given the whole picture yet, but I only had to read Wikipedia a little bit, you know, the characters are even interesting. I haven't seen anything like this for a long time.
I really liked it.
Damon is an interesting character, but the story is a bit scary. All I would advise him is to go to a psychologist. He needs urgent help! Although the question arises, why hasn't he gone to a psychologist for so many years, although his character suggests that sometimes everything is possible.
It's still very interesting how the main character and Damon intersect.
And I read and saw that someone lost a loved one, I'm so sorry and I hope that everything is fine now, so I will wait for you and follow all Russian FD, I'm waiting for you and also I wish you good luck :3
y si tengo el mismo nombre q uno de los personajes, cuál me pongo? njdndsncjnc lol
Though you guys aren't full time developers, do you guys have a rough estimate of when the next update will be ready? 🤔
Y el dia dos?
Esta en desarrollo según el twitter de los creadores.
Is this game still being in development? whens the next update?
Hi, we're still working on the game. But we only show sneak peeks on social media or Blastic's patreon, not here :)
We're not full-time developers, we only work on this project when we have some spare time, and the artist is currently grieving the loss of a family member. Thx for your understanding <3
i hope the artist is okay, my deepest condolences for the artist’s family :((
is there a way to lower the volume? :p
Hi, you can do that by going into the settings, either through the main menu or the quick menu :)
Will you guys create an Android version for this game?😩
i really want this game to have more days :(( Damon is such a cutie, i miss him
do we even actually meet him?i just played it and only met rasmus and got chases by the serial killer
i think it depends on your choices ^^ this game is a demo but it has two or three endings i think
So sad about the discontinuation I really wanted to see where the story was going
Hi, we're still working on the game. But we only show sneak peeks on social media or Blastic's patreon, not here :)
ooh thank you for replying, I will be waiting ♥️
bro you made my heart drop with your comment
I'll be honest... I closed the game after meeting Rasmus lol. I'm sure there are lots of people who love characters like him and he probably has some issues and that's why he's treating MC like this, but he's really not my type. The delivery guy is an interesting character, but I'm also not really interested in romancing(?) him, also he's poly which is not my thing. Damon is the only one character that I kinda like but I heard that he's poly? which again, not really my thing. I need all the jealousy and obsession and the "you're only mine" thing (in fiction of course lol). honestly the only ppl I really wish we could date are Shadowman and Gunther....
also (for me) it was a little bit hard to identify with the game's MC, so it was more like I was playing a different character. I liked the part with doing the personality quiz which I think it would be kinda fun if this could help us make MC more like us? I love the art and the story, and even though I'm not interested in "dating" these characters they're really fun! I might keep checking for any new updates just to see how it goes.
Hi, thank you for your honest comment! :)
However, I’d like to clear up a small misunderstanding: There will be a poly route with DG and Damon in the game, but it’s completely optional. Damon actually prefers having MC to himself, so whether or not a poly relationship happens is entirely up to you. As for DG, he’s aromantic and prefers an open relationship where no one tells him who he can or can’t sleep with. Like you rightly said, at the end of the day, he’s still a serial killer, not exactly romance material.
As for MC, it’s kind of a hit or miss depending on the player. MC was never meant to be a self-insert character, but rather someone with their own backstory. The player does have some influence over how they grow, though. Thanks for checking out our game, maybe we’ll see you again sometime! ^^/)
when do we even meet them
Когда переключаю язык на русский или корейский, вместо текста одни "[][][][][][][]" , есть способ решить это?
Привет! Ты просто выбрал не тот шрифт. Не все шрифты в игре поддерживают все языки. Попробуй выбрать другой — тогда перевод отобразится как надо :)
ya suban el juego completo por fa
EL MEJOR JUEGO AYUDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, ojala este el juego completo prontoOo (gracias por poner el juego en español)
i need more i love it

Itch.io care about it user so pls stay safe🙏
is it abandoned or..any updates...? i really love dg
Hi, we sometimes show sneak peeks on social media, but at the moment the artist (Blastic) needs time to grieve because a family member has passed away recently. Thanks for your understanding <3
I am so sorry for there loss and I wish the best for them, I hope they are going to be ok <3 <3
It's okay to feel sad. Take all the time you need. I'll be here for you.
Omg I am so sorry to hear that I hope they are ok D: , I am pateron and i didn't know that Q,Q
Grief is not just sadness, it is love with nowhere to go. It really takes a lot out of somebody when they are forever isolated from the person they love. I hope blastic recovers.
Will it be known when the sequel will be? I just recently joined this fpndom and I only finished the first day so I want to watch more because the game is really high quality, even better than a guy to the grave
A guy to the grave? What's that? I haven't heard of that one, nor can I seem to find it.
they probably meant to say 'boyfriend to death' using russian translator
Oh! Hah, of course, you're probably right. Too bad, was hoping for a good new one that I hadn't found before. Doesn't happen often these days.
Есть ли известная дата об возможной обновление?просто я умру если не продолжу его играть и идеально большое спасибо вам вы мне дали вдохновение хотелось прям очень много узнать о деймоне прям очень>3
Damon I love you :3
I saw the colour scheme and immediatly thought of Balatro help
i'm waiting for the complete game 😭 i like it soo much
me too pal... me too😔
I've played this game over and over the past year but like I can't help it. Damon needs to be wifed up fr </3
I NEED A ANDRIOD VERSION 😭
you can do that I play from android just ask for chatgpt to help out with zip files
Install joiplay, download every avaliable version of plugin.
Now... download the game from here, and put it on joiplay with the help of the plugin (i have all plugins downloaded and I dont remember which one works for this game)
thats low key so helpful for me :
OH SHITTTTTT I LOVE THIS GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!i wish the full game will publish on Steam！i cant wait for it！
the demo was so fun i need to see morreee anyone knows where i can buy the game ?
The game is still being developed, and I believe there still only the first day has been released. Unfortunately it's a long road, so you'll likely have to be patient for a while to come.
but ive seen 2 hours long videos of the game on Youtube? thats why i was wondering :/#
Oh really? Well I guess that must have probably been playthroughs with a lot of talking, or extensively exploring all possible paths, or something along those lines. Either that, or it's a pre-release given only to some YouTubers/streamers for marketing purposes, but I'm not aware of something like that. Either way, I'm pretty sure there still hasn't been a public release beyond day 1 of the story.
Wow, I had fun playing this game! I really hope there will be an update in the near future. That DG made me feel things >~<
does anyone know where to find dev logs? or update announcements? I love this game and I know it's rude to push but it's been two years (just replayed the game and my last save was November 2023) and lowk I'm starting to lose hope in this getting a full release since most of the socials are art and engaging with fans.
Hey! Do you follow my Twitter/ tumblr? I did share a sneak peek in March this year ^^
- holyschnitzel
I didn't check that far back, no. thank you! <3
Is the plan to still release one day at a time, or do you guys plan on releasing the game as a whole when it's fully finished?
Good Lord I love Damon with my whole heart I want him as my wife <3
Absolutely loved the game :) Can't wait for more!
Heyy, so, i just found this game recently and I completly loved it, but I just saw it now that the last devlog was on 2023, sooo is the game on a hiatus, dead, they're working on it and are posting updates and demo builds in some other place?
