Gameplay
Quantum Break is an action-adventure third-person shooter video game.
Players play as
Jack Joyce, a person with time manipulation powers in a world where time stutters, making everything freeze except
Joyce. Players can use a variety of firearms, as well as their time-manipulating powers to defeat enemies in the game. Joyce can stop time temporarily, allowing him to escape from attacks or freeze enemies, unleash a "
Time Blast", which is an offensive projectile, and reverse the direction of bullets. He can also interact with the environments, creating environmental effects that would harm hostile characters. He can also utilize his "Time
Rush" ability, which allows him to spawn right next to an enemy to perform an immediate melee takedown. Alternatively, he can speed up the time as well and swap between covers to diversify attention from unaware enemies. As for defensive abilities, Joyce can protect himself from attacks by deploying a "Time
Shield", which can deflect bullets, performing "Time
Dodge", which allows him to dash quickly to evade from attacks or simply hiding behind cover.
There are also less action-orientated segments in the game, where players have to solve environmental puzzles while progressing the game like a 3D platform game. With time stuttering and collapsing, objects may get trapped in a time loop. This would make them to become environment hazards and enter an unstable state which are constantly shifting, and would hence create dangerous situations for players, such as them repeatedly smashing into a platform. These objects would become obstacles that would block players' way, and they can be overcome by slowing down or stopping time, so that Joyce can escape from these objects and progresses without getting hurt. He can also call help by reviving frozen non-playable characters.
The gameplay is split into segments. After playing through a segment of the game an episode of the digital show will play
. In the game, the video game portion will tell the story of the protagonists while the show will tell the story of the antagonists. Players can make choices as the antagonist in the beginning of each episode of the
TV show, also known as "the junction points". These decisions would influence the state of the game.
Plot
Quantum Break is set at and around
Riverport University, a fictional university set in the
Northeastern United States, where a time travel experiment has gone wrong. The event not only causes time to start breaking down, but also grants the two main characters—Jack Joyce and
Paul Serene—different time-based abilities. For example, Serene, the main antagonist, can see into the future to decide which choices to make in the present; while Joyce, one of the two protagonists, can stop time. Joyce and
Wilder are pursued by
Monarch Solutions, a corporation founded by Serene.
