Small fixes and improvments.
Incoherence is a masterclass in compact mobile adventure gaming. Glitch Games has a reputation for high-quality point-and-click mysteries, and this first installment of the 'Broken Dreams Collection' doesn't disappoint. You play as Jason Bethlam, waking up in a room with no memory—a classic setup that is elevated by the developer's trademark humor and genuinely clever puzzles.
The standout feature is the 'Glitch Camera,' which allows you to take photos of clues and refer to them instantly. It’s an elegant solution to the 'pen and paper' problem of adventure games. Best of all, there are absolutely no ads or in-app purchases, making it a pure, uninterrupted experience. It’s short, sharp, and highly immersive, with a soundtrack that perfectly sets the mysterious mood. If you enjoy room escapes or mystery games, this is an essential download.

Whenever you see a symbol or a sequence of numbers, take a photo. You can overlay these photos on later puzzles to find the solution.

No, Incoherence is a premium game with absolutely no adverts or in-app purchases.
Maybe it’s because I’ve played every preceding glitch game, but this one was just too easy for me. I may have figured out the different types of puzzles too well, I always enjoy the artwork, the music and the general vibe of the games but in this one, I felt a little bit more like I was just playing along with a movie or something of the sort because the puzzles lack depth. I really enjoyed the overall structure of it though, I enjoy the mystery that glitch puts into their games and I love that they reference previous games and even future games in each individual one. Probably my favorite game creator, but they’re just not quite getting five stars on this one only because the puzzles were too easy!!!
If you’re like me and enjoy an interactive adventure puzzle like The Room series, The Legacy series, and Da Vinci House, you will love Incoherence! The storyline is interesting and captivating, the gameplay is smooth and intuitive while being just challenging enough to be fun without being maddening. The hint feature is a great option if you’re stuck, I love that you can choose to get a little hint or reveal the answer, eliminating accidental spoilers. 10/10 would highly recommend. This is a game I will definitely come back to and play again. I only hope they make a sequel, because I would love to find out what’s going on with this character, and have the opportunity to play their original, creative, and fun puzzles. The only issue I had came maybe around the third round of slides. My app began crashing when I was trying to access my photos. Not sure if this was my phone or the app itself, but I didn’t try to troubleshoot because I found I didn’t need the camera feature much as I could rely on my memory, so I could complete the game without it. This game is well worth the price, continued quite a bit longer than I expected, and was a joy to play. Do yourself a favor and get the game, it’s worth it. Developers: You did an amazing job! Thank you for this wonderful gem! I can’t wait to see what you all come up with next! Congratulations on a beautiful, creative and original game!! 🎉 I am hooked, you have a new customer for life!
Having played all the usual suspects in the puzzle adventure genre including the Forever Lost series and Veritas I was disappointed with this game. It was seriously easy and therefore short. Each segment of the game is compartmentalized into four rooms. You enter a room and you’re stuck there until you solve the puzzles in that room. Therefore, almost all of the clues within each room are associated with the puzzles in that room. The one or two clues or items not relevant to that room will be used in one of the other four rooms in that chapter. This is the downfall, in my opinion. Since, like most all the other games, I don’t have to figure out where on some large area that usually requires a map I will use each item or clue. You know each item or clue will be used on the one or two puzzles within the room where you found them. This makes the game quite easy. I never use hints in any of these games and I’m used to getting stuck for days at a time once or twice per game. This game took me a few hours.
The game is great. Without giving too much away, you have to do some things in a specific order. If you go through and don’t do things in the right order, you’ll have to return to the rooms. The only thing that confused me for a minute was that your inventory empties if you go back to the rooms to correct the order. And if you put certain items in a new spot, that’s where you’ll find them—not where you originally found them. At first, I thought this was a glitch that made my items disappear. But it’s not a glitch. Beyond that, it’s pretty straightforward. Not the longest or most challenging Glitch game. But I don’t think it’s fair to compare to other Glitch games—they shouldn’t have to top themselves each time. This game is a 5 star in its own right. Well worth the price.
You must put the initial rooms in the correct order to access items. These items will allow you to get the key to obtain more sections/panels. I am not sure if there is more to this game or not? There were 4 sections/panels available. They were intuitive - normal Glitch style. But the game only took about 45 mins to play - tops. I took a look at the app to see if I was missing anything and the pics showed areas/panels that didnt have access to. Hmm, will these be later releases? The quality of the game is there but the length was really disappointing. I miss the length of the older Glitch games. The ones that took a few days. Please let me know if I am missing something on this one…
I enjoyed playing this game, however there were a couple of problems I had with the game. The puzzle with the cash register (till) didn’t work for me because the digital numbers kept rotating rapidly when I pressed on a number and would not stop on the actual number I selected. So I had no idea what to do. It was only when I looked up the answer and saw what the numbers should be. I believe there is a bug somewhere. Also, the puzzle using the fire escape plan I believe is a little misleading because the token for me started in the middle, not where it needs to be in order to follow the plan. You have to move it to that location first then start the plan. Overall, it was a decent game.
I actually really liked this game. I liked how you had to figure out how to progress through the rooms in order to get the right stuff for the next room. The fact that you lost your stuff and had to pick it back up when the rooms were re-arranged made it challenging. Lots of levels. I found this game a little easier (I was actually able to figure most of them out on my own), maybe because you had a finite number of puzzles in each room to solve. LOVE your games devs! Have worked my way through almost all of them. I liked how you the hint system because I definitely need help with some of the puzzles.
This game hits all the right notes. In each segment, you’re given four scenes that have to be run through in sequence to get to the next level. The trick: You don’t know what order the scenes should be played in. It was frustrating at first, but once I figured out that putting them in order is the overall tragedy of the game, it went smoothly. I had to run through some levels more than once to figure out the sequence and pick up the objects from one scene that I would need in a later scene. It’s an interesting idea, and executed well. The game takes place in the Forever Lost universe (sort of— Jason, Alice, and Hugo are all there in one form or another). There are some nice callbacks to the original trilogy. The puzzles are a little easier than usual. Not sure if it’s that they really are easy, or just that I have an idea how Glitch Games work, having played all of them over the last few years. TL;DR: A wonderful way to spend a couple of hours. Good art, as always, good puzzles, and a universe familiar to fans yet accessible to newbies. Five stars, easy.
Glitch Games' upcoming puzzle game, Recursion, is now available for pre-registration on the App Store and Google Play.
