They try to make this more interesting with sci-fi elements and quizzes but that doesn't cover up the fact that you're essentially just watching a couple scenes from a generic Lifetime TV movie, the ending of which you already know. First time playthrough: 45 minutes 4/10

It feels like an experimental game, with fairly barebones gameplay and face-value narration. But the systems(world setting and ideas) in place are promising, I'd have hoped for some twists. We need to go deeper...

What can I say about Fragments. It doesn't overstay its welcome, but the time you will spend with it will leave an impact. Personally, I have dealt with things similar to the games premise, and it really resonated with me. Go in blind, and be sure to pay attention to every. little. detail. 10/10 will be getting all the achievements!

I was excited when this game was shown off as a demo for a Vagabond Dog game jam, and even more so when I heard the game was being developed into a full experience. The things that Codapill and his team of collaborators incorporated into this short narrative really provide the experience with a ton of innovation you don't often see in games made in the RPG Maker engine. When you're making a tough decision, you can...

It's short, but it's a good little story. Took me two plays to get all of the beats properly. Really enjoy the sci-fi elements, and would love to see them leaned into more. The romantic story is familiar territory, but it's handled well. Grab it and enjoy if you want a quick little narrative.

I really liked the premise of this game but it was massively underwhelming. It was basically clicking the equivalent of "Next" constantly until then end...and then you're sitting there wondering where the last hour and a half went. I got it on sale, and even that was too hefty a price.

If you go in expecting something less like a bells-and-whistles horror game abounding with player choice, and something more in the vein of a suspenseful speculative short story, you'll find in Fragments a well-directed and cleverly minimalist piece of interactive fiction (with an equally understated yet scene-setting soundtrack). It's good!

A short but powerful game. The writing had me kept me guessing and second guessing my choices, and the dystopian setting just compounds the experience. Incredible work from Codapill and the team, the game is an absolute steal and well worth your time to play multiple times and experience all it has to offer. Looking forward to more from this developer in the future!

Really interesting idea, and well executed. Promotes multiple playthroughs thanks to more than one ending, and you may miss some stuff first time round. Absolutely incredible music!

Fragments is a game of exploration, a game of mystery, a game of games. You know who you are. But that's pretty much it. Everything else is a blur, an enigma, a puzzle waiting for you to put it together. But wait? Is there more to it than that? There are detectives questioning you at every turn, a limitation on information being directly provided to you, a murder to be solved that you may or not be able to help...
