She is able to wake its pilot, Alex, from his three hundred year stasis, and he helps her to rig the ship's scanning system to fire a laser at Mog Chothra when he shows up for the Feast.

There she discovers the Dead Eye God's temple, which turns out to be an ancient spaceship, the Maloruna, half-buried by the sand. She then finds her way to a nearby port town, Shellmound, where they are preparing for their own Feast. They are dealing with the aftermath of their own Feast, affirming her belief the rites are disastrous to their people and should be ended. She finds a way to escape the beast and ends up in Meriloft, a small colony which rests on a cluster of semisolid clouds. Vella is chosen to be sacrificed to Mog Chothra at the feast in her hometown of Sugar Bunting (formerly a town made up of warriors named Steel Bunting) but concludes that if the monster could be killed, the rituals could be ended. Appearing every fourteen years, they are appeased by the sacrifice of young girls at a number of Maiden's Feasts held at various villages. Vella Tartine (voiced by Masasa Moyo) is a young woman living in the Badlands, a land ravaged by the Mogs, giant creatures that come from beyond a wall called the Plague Dam. Each character has separate item inventories as they collect objects items can then be used by dragging them onto context-sensitive areas on the screen or combined with other inventory items.īroken Age tells the story of two teenagers with no immediately apparent connection, each 'seeking to break the tradition in their lives'. The game employs context-sensitive actions instead of using verb lists as early adventure games would use, as Schafer stated that in essence, 'there really was always one verb, which was 'interact with'' and opted for the more modern approach. The game features two playable characters, each located in seemingly separate worlds the player can switch from one character to the other via the game's interface at any time, but otherwise these characters do not interact in any direct way.

The game's development was chronicled by an episodic series of documentaries produced by 2 Player Productions.īroken Age is a point-and-click adventure game, where the player-controlled character can be directed to move about the screen, examine objects, and talk to non-player characters to learn more about the game world. It remains one of the highest-backed crowd-funded projects of any type, and its success helped to establish Kickstarter and other crowd-funding mechanisms as a viable alternative to traditional venture capital and publisher funding for niche video game titles. Though originally a goal of only $400,000 was set to cover the costs of development and documentary filming, Broken Age became the largest crowd-funded video game project at the time, raising over $3.45 million from more than 87,000 backers within the month. īroken Age began under the working title Double Fine Adventure as a Kickstarter crowd-funded project promoted by Double Fine and 2 Player Productions in February 2012. A Nintendo Switch version was released on September 13, 2018. A retail version of the complete game for Windows, macOS, and Linux, published by Nordic Games, was released on April 28, 2015.

The game was developed in two acts the first was released on Janu(two weeks earlier for Kickstarter backers), and the second was released on April 28, 2015. Broken Age was game director Tim Schafer's first return to the genre since 1998's Grim Fandango, and was released for Microsoft Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, and Xbox One platforms. Broken Age is a point-and-click adventure video game developed and published by Double Fine.
