This is a gentle reminder to please keep conversations directed at the topic at hand and not at the individuals themselves.

Focusing replies on the individuals themselves instead of the topic at hand can lead to friction between members and often causes the thread to derail.

Please also remember that it is often not so much what ones opinion is that causes friction, but how one chooses to express that opinion. Using negatively-charged value words are a good way to start friction, as is generalisation and sniping. Personal comments lead to friction and flaming.

Sniping back and forth will often lead to the system closing the thread down, let’s avoid this if we can.

*Finally, if you see disrespectful posts please do not reply to them. Rather, please use the report feature and let forum staff deescalate friction.

Is there any way to play gunner without killing any police?

Did you try not fatally shooting them? Because that is an option.

There was actually a route for that but it got cut like the baking with Gabriel. The route goes like you get hunted by the FBI and die without the archangels protection.

It didn’t even give me any options. It just said I shot everyone as soon as the old guy tried to shoot me.

Hi! This is my first time posting here, and I have to because I want to thankyou @MichaelMaxwell from the bottom of my heart for this incredible piece of art… I’m so hooked! The story is well written and I love everything about it especially Gabrielā¤! I’m madly in love with him and even though the author said it’s not important to know but still! I’m dying to know his real identity. I hope I’m not late but can I still PM you my guess and maybe finally set my curious mind at rest???

Hi, this is also my first time posting here, but I wanted to leave a review or something similar to it.
I really, really enjoyed playing Breach, actually still enjoy it bc I am not done trying out different routes and outcomes.
I love the humour, the characters and the setting, it’s incredible fun to try playing different styles and the game itself.
I got really intrigued trying to find out the different secrets in the game, like for example, the stories of your crew members, the Trios indentities, or whatever twisted game the Corp. is playing. I don’t trust them at all btw. I mean, they do have to much power and are playing both sides. Maybe I am just paranoid, like how I stopped trusting any character in the game, especially after I meet Bart. I wasn’t even suprised, I figured something like this out after Mouse last hangup and doing Rooks Hangouts.I just really didn’t expect to see Bart. And didn’t Rook mentioned …in any case, it’s supicious.
But I do love the characters, which is why it is so hard to decide on a side. I like Reville, but I also like the Archangels. Even Mike, thought he is a psychopath. I really tried for him to like my MC, but I guess that doesn’t make any difference? I mean, I don’t really need a romance with him, even tho I won’t mind it being there, but I would love for him to at least regret him shooting me. sign I read in the forum that Gabe, Raquel and MC might have some ties in MC’s past, does the same apply for Mike? Or is MC really just a tool for him?
Btw, I also love that you made Gabe and Raquel romance able, and him liking you even if he doesn’t romance you, it really hurt my heart reading how it hurts him in the cop route.
Btw, in one scene near the end of criminal route, when Gabe and Mike waited for a certain phone call, Mike’s reaction sounded like he at least liked Mouse? Does Mouse have some connections to the Trio too, aside from them being MC’s friend?
Ok, I am sorry, I am asking to much, but your game made me really curious and my head is spinning with different theories. I think I began reading to much into the texts.

So, @MichaelMaxwell thank you for the incredible game you made, I look forward to your next games, be it the sequel or the other one that I will check it out later.
I also loved your D20 system. As a pen and paper player myself I enjoyed it very much. Also the planing of the heists and Greg is the best black marked dealer out there.
I could ramble now for way to long, bc I don’t really have anything negative to report, so I will stop now.

I would still love to hear anyone’s guess as to who the main trio are. It’s all still so very intriguing watching people run through the many theories out there.

And thank you very much for enjoying the game! :smile: I am still incredibly glad to hear that people are reading the game, any feedback or criticism is always welcome, whatever they may be about so long as it doesn’t veer too off-topic. The’s small little details may be confusing, and sometimes you’ll glance past them without a second thought, but I was hoping people would catch on with the small random details once in a while. :sweat_smile:

And there’s not much I can say without spoiling anything, @JackRedcap , But you are right to be suspicious and cautious with everyone, especially The Corp. Also, it’s been confirmed that you will get to see more of Michael, and that he will be romancable in the 2nd game… Which will be a rather big challenge for me to write without veering into the realm of fan service, as I have done somewhat with Gabriel and Raquel. (As they are originally non-romancable)

That being said, I will enjoy writing the game, as much as I have been enjoying writing for the first game! :smile:


Also thank you very much for those who have helped answer the questions when I could not. Unless I give a specific reply, it usually means they’re correct.

His idea of a perfect date is you letting him shoot you in the foot because he’s bored.

Can you DM me your theory if you have the time plz

Which would also invite Raquel to patch you up, and Michael shooting you again, Raquel patching you up again, Michael shoots you again… rise and repeat. Win-win for both of them.
And a confused Gabriel watching from the background, maybe.

No no. Gabriel would stop him after the first patch up. Then that’s when the relationship gets serious. Micheal takes you out only for you to find a blindfolded dude with a phone taped to his ear. He remakes how you first met but this time you’re allowed to kill the victim. Oh and of course you’re served some burgers and a bit of Gabriel’s cupcakes he stole.

I haven’t been on the forum in a while but @MichaelMaxwell, I did a lot of early testing and editing help for this, wonder if I could get some credit for that in betatesters?

Hi!

Just a gentle reminder:

My biggest disappointment is that Michael isn’t actually blind. During the scene where MCs met him I thought ā€œIf he’s blind and possibly mute (which I believed was the reason behind his electronic voice) but still a leader of criminal organisation, he must be super smart and capable. A criminal who doesn’t enter actual combatt due his disability but plans everything? Hell YEAH! I woudn’t mind being an underling for such dude.ā€ My hopes were brutally crushed when he turned out to be just an ordinary guy. :frowning:

What also bothered me is that MC doesn’t have a clear objective. Why do they help Archangels, what do they want to achieve? Some games let players chose motivation for main character, some have an already set goal for them. In Breach I can more or less guess what MC might want but it never gets brought up in the game. Do they want to do a right thing and put Archangels in jail (if playing as a detective), learn about their parents as Gabriel suggested in the beginning, protect Mouse, amass money, make valuable connections or earn favors? We don’t really know. Which is very unfair since side characters all have their own goals: Mouse wants to help MC, Justin pays off his debt and Carly wishes to clear her family name. I’m not sure about Kaz since I didn’t get enough time to hang out with all crew members.

It’s understandable that a lot of effort went into weapon/mask/wardrobe customisation and all game variables must be awfully hard to juggle but some flavor text or ability to joke or a motivation for MC just to shape them out more wouldn’t have hurt.

I also have a question

Is Gabriel MCs brother or some other relative? He puts a lot of trust into them by making MC a crew leader straight away which is strange. I also played Game+ as a cop and Gabriel was genuinely sad that MC decided to stick with FBI. He also knew they were an informant all along? Whew, too much trust for some rando criminal. If I’m right, that’s a pretty neat twist especially on a detective playthrough since Mouse is dead and MC doesn’t have anyone close left aside from potential brother/cousin/whatever Gabriel who’s their enemy.

If I’m missing some crucial information please forgive me. I only played through the game twice.


Forgot to mention it earlier. For some reason sometimes when injured there was an option for MC to weeb speak. I think that was the most surprising revelation in the whole game for me. Protagonis is secretly a weeaboo who shows their true colours only in dire situations.

Short answer, Gabriel is not related to the MC as confirmed by Maxim himself.

Longer answer under the cut, heavy late game spoilers for how he (probably) knows about us/puts so much trust in us

spoilers


and this might be related to how he knows us, or it might not be

Ha, I actually thought Mike was blind and mute for the same reason and got bummed on the reveal. Sure , I can still imagine that he’s still blind and mute, but I have to remind myself that he’s an ordinary guy on the real deal.
On another topic, Greg would probably feel sad that he’s overshadowed by the cast. It’s not everday you get to see a flamboyant (pusedo-?)priest behind a black market. I do like his interactions, small as they are in amount, especially the one where you happen to visit him early and he’s wrapped in a blanket, iirc.
