Our take on Broken World: Save Your Children

The focus on protecting children gives the survival journey a family-centered purpose, but it limits the premise to Josh’s responsibilities as a parent rather than an individual survivor’s struggle.

What is Broken World: Save Your Children?

Play as Josh, a father navigating a zombie-ravaged city in search of an airport where his wife is waiting.

Survival involves balancing thirst, hunger, and morale while deciding whether to risk dangerous scavenging trips or take more cautious routes. Gather materials to make weapons, traps, and shelters, and spend time exploring, fishing, cooking, and battling the undead. Choices involving Edrik and Emma influence the journey, including whether they learn to defend themselves or remain under close protection. The game combines exploration, combat, crafting, resource management, and family-focused decisions as Josh tries to reunite his family.
