Is Broken Porcelain good?
Checked . Intent: Critic score versus player score.
I expected the user score to match the critic score and it did not. The gap is the useful part: the look and the music keep getting named, and the stealth and bugs keep getting named beside them.
Scores
Complaints cluster on bugs, chase feel, and a hard-to-follow plot. Praise clusters on the inn’s look, the music, and Jennifer and Linn. No sales or refund figure was found, so none is stated.

Questions
What did individual outlets score?
Wikipedia cites GameRevolution 1/5, IGN 4/10, Jeuxvideo 8/20, and Shacknews 3/10.
Do players agree with 39?
Not exactly. Metacritic’s user score is 6.6 from 72 ratings, which that site files as mixed, while the critic side is generally unfavorable.
Should you buy it?
Buy it for the 1973 story and Luca Balboni’s score. Skip it if you need reliable stealth. That split is what the reviews argue, not a sales claim.
