Who We Are

Broken Bicycle Games is an international team of game enthusiasts and aspiring professionals based in Sweden.​​​

We strive to make games that deeply resonate with our players and bring something new and unique to the world of indie gaming. â€‹

​We are the best when it comes to narrative-heavy games, but are looking forward to expand our genre portfolio in the future!

Our Vision

From the start, we wanted to break the conventions of dating game genre with its unrealistic characters and oversimplified mechanics. We wanted to make a game that would create authentic connection between players and characters

We noticed that the best companionship and romance come from games that are not designed for it: RPGs, detectives, even shooters! All because they can immerse players with mechanics beyond just clicking on dialogue options

So we set out to make a game that makes player-character relationships engaging, game dialogue saturated and realistic - like never before!

New Level of
Dialogue Realism 

Semi-procedural dialogue system

LSGD breaks genre conventions with a unique dialogue system that considers both player input and character states in a conversation: 

Does the character trust you enough to share this?

What do they want to know about you now? 

More than picking the right options

Initiaive roll mechanic decides who chooses a topic, and action cards help steer the conversation in the right direction. Smile, wink, change topics or info dump - you choose the way you want to talk to your dates (and informants)!

We want dialogue to be an experience players enjoy - engaging, immersive and exciting!

The Mystery of Lost Souls

You wake up in a back alley with no memories except one -

you lost a gamble in a casino. You are now one of many lost souls. With the police you investigate the mystery of your own past and the conspiracy behind it.​

People you meet on the way can be your informants, friends and lovers, each helping you in their own way. Your relationships will change the outcome of your whole adventure!

Will you try to restore your past at all costs, or cherish the new life you’ve made as a Lost Soul?

Charm, Befriend or Intimidate

Build your personality

Having no memories, you create a unique set of personality skills: confidence, emotional intelligence, persuasion, boundaries. You can use them as dialogue cards both on dates and during investigation 

Choose to charm your enemies like your lovers, or

to become their reckoning!

Immerse in the alternative 1920-s world

Explore our unique 1920-s & art-deco inspired urban fantasy world in a classic point-n-click visual novel style adventure with multiple story branches

Watch your choices change the world around - or do nothing and have fun dating!

Players say:

"I like the depth you are going for with the system. I like the idea of mechanics for the social system. I ran the date twice, and had different outcomes both times. Neat!"
