Broken Age

About

Broken Age is a point-and-click adventure telling the stories of a young boy and girl leading parallel lives. Vella Tartine has been chosen by her village to be sacrificed to a terrible monster — but she decides to fight back. Meanwhile, Shay Volta is living a solitary life on a spaceship under the care of a motherly computer, but he wants to break free to lead adventures and do good in the world. Adventures ensue.

Broken Age is a hand-painted point-and-click adventure that tells two parallel coming-of-age stories the player can switch between at will. Vella Tartine is a young woman selected to be offered up as a willing sacrifice to a monstrous creature during her village's traditional Maiden's Feast, but she refuses to accept her fate and sets out to fight back. Shay Volta is a lonely teenage boy living aboard a spaceship, coddled by an overprotective computer that fills his days with hollow make-believe missions until he yearns to break free. As each teen struggles against the roles imposed on them, their seemingly separate worlds hint at deeper connections waiting to be uncovered.
