The Day the World Broke is an adventure/puzzle game released by Houghton Mifflin Interactive in 1997. In it, the player explores a city located in the Earth's core, achieving game goals primarily through conversations with the city's part animal part machine inhabitants. While the environments are hand-painted, the Mechanimals are sometimes rendered in 3D computer graphics, and the human characters in live action.
