Broken Rules Interactive Media GmbH is an Austrian independent video game developer, publisher, and creative collective based in Vienna.

Broken Rules was initially formed by Felix Bohatsch, Jan Hackl and Peter Vorlaufer in 2009, and coincided with the release of their first title, puzzle-platformer And Yet It Moves.

[2][3] During the launch of And Yet It Moves, Broken Rules merged with one half of their indie friends and office neighbors studio radiolaris, Martin Pichlmair.

[8] After Secrets of Raetikon released, the team was on the verge of closure, which brought them to restructure the company and start to pick up work for hire.

[14] Broken Rules' next game, Old Man's Journey, started development in early 2015, and was released for iOS, Android and PC on May 17, 2017.

[21][22] The short ecological adventure game follows a gibbon on a dangerous journey and highlights the effects of real world issues such as deforestation, and poaching driven by tourism.
