Suplex and shatter glass enemies after being in prison for committing a cardinal crime in the psychological horror beat ’em up Brokensides
Brokensides is a newly announced psychological horror beat 'em up game that combines two unconventional genres into a single experience. The game comes from developer juicce, known for surreal and strange projects, and represents an intriguing fusion that stands out amongst typical genre mashups.
The game features a deliberately unsettling visual style blending wireframe 3D graphics, oddly rendered models, and ASCII art into a desolate, otherworldly environment. Players control a violent sea bunny protagonist recently released from imprisonment after committing a Cardinal Crime, engaging in combat against glass-bodied enemies that shatter into crystalline pieces when struck; the combat system draws inspiration from Absolver but emphasises street-brawling techniques such as dropkicks and suplexes. The game is still in early development with no release date, window, or target year announced.

Explained simply
Brokensides is an upcoming video game that merges two typically separate genres: psychological horror and beat 'em up action. It is being developed by juicce, an independent studio known for creating experimental and surreal games.
The game creates an unsettling atmosphere through its unusual visual style, blending wireframe graphics, distorted 3D models and ASCII art into a strange, nightmarish world. Players control a violent sea bunny character who has just been released from prison after committing a Cardinal Crime.
In Brokensides, combat involves fighting enemies whose bodies are made of glass and shatter into pieces when struck, with fighting mechanics inspired by the game Absolver but emphasising street-brawling moves like dropkicks and suplexes. The game is currently in early development with no release date yet announced.
