When worlds collide
Broken Age
This heartfelt sci-fi adventure immerses you within two touching (and bizarre) coming-of-age stories brought to life on your Mac.
Shay is the sole human living on a spaceship, his only companion the onboard artificial intelligence that guides him through his days.
Vella resides in a largely pacifist kingdom, but one where young adults are routinely sacrificed to the monster Mog Chothra. And Vella is the next victim.
While guiding both teens, you’ll explore quirky worlds with strange inhabitants, brought vividly to life through watercolour-based animation. The artistry and creativity of Broken Age are just what you’d expect from Tim Schafer and his team at Double Fine, creators of Psychonauts and other classic games.
Whether you’re chatting with a sentient spoon or a mysterious fox man, the dialogue that drives Broken Age routinely veers in odd, hilarious directions. So do the puzzles – for example, as you learn to fly in space you’ll need both a whipped cream gun and a talking knife!
Eventually you’ll see how the journeys of Shay and Vella intertwine in the unlikeliest of ways. And as they do, you’ll realise just what a spectacular adventure you’re on.
