About the Game

What if a race could drive you insane?

Broken Race is an arcade racing game with roguelike elements, set in an eternal night where reality becomes distorted as you lose your sanity. Your objective is simple: reach the finish line. The hard part is surviving what emerges from your own mind. Enemies—projections of your mental deterioration—appear more frequently the lower your sanity gets.

During each race, you’ll pick up upgrades that unlock unique abilities, manage your energy, and make decisions that affect both your car’s performance and your perception of the world around you.

Broken Race is a game where the real enemy isn’t on the road, but in your mind: a race against sleep, madness, and loss of control.

Features

  • Level-Based Progression:
    The game is divided into levels, each made up of different tracks, challenges, and upgrades. Your goal is to complete all levels as fast as possible while unlocking new upgrades and cars.

  • Randomized Tracks:
    Each race is unique thanks to the randomness of the elements, offering a different experience every time you play.

  • Surreal, Distorted Environment:
    Drive through roads in an “eternal night” where fatigue distorts reality and alters your perception of the world.

  • Upgrades and Abilities:
    During the race you’ll find upgrades that change your driving style and unlock unique abilities.

  • Consumables and Recovery:
    Collect items that restore your health and sleep to keep yourself alive and maintain your sanity.

  • Constant Survival:
    In Broken Race, the goal is not just to reach the finish line, but to survive in a chaotic environment that challenges both your reflexes and your mind.

  • Enemies Born from Your Own Madness:
    Enemies—creations of your deteriorating mind—appear with increasing frequency and aggression as your sanity decreases.
