Under this pretenses Shay gets in contact with Marek, a mysterious guy dressed in a wolf outfit but is he friend or foe? While the Dad part seems quite ok and well balanced, its counterpart, Mom, is a bit on the psycho side acting like an overly attached “helicopter” mom that would do anything to keep her Shay away from anything she feels might prove dangerous to him. The brain of the spaceship is a computer that seems to have a split personality, Mom and Dad (though it prefers using the Mom personality more).

The ship was designed to find other planets suitable for colonization, since its creators’ planet was slowly dying. This of course is met with laughter from her family, with the exception of her grandpa, who despises the fact that the town, once filled with badass warriors, had turned into a town of bakers.īeing part of Project Dandelion, the last chance at survival for a space faring race, Shay dreams that one day he will break out of his monotonous daily routine on the ship and find some true adventure. Her family organizes a farewell secret party and this is where Vella starts having her doubts towards the ritual and thinks that maybe fighting the monster would be a better option. Vella’s story starts with her being picked as one of the participants in the Maiden’s Feast, a barbaric ritual where a village sacrifices young maidens every 14 years to a creature called Mog Chothra to ensure the safety of the rest of that particular village. At the start of a new game, Broken Age will have you pick which story you wish to experience first. The game tells its story from the perspective of two characters Vella Tartine and Shay Volta. Fast-forward almost two years later and, with the release of the game’s first act of two, it’s time to see if the wait was worth the time. The Kickstarter campaign was highly successful and the developer managed to raise $3.3 million which was way more than their initial goal of $400,000 ($300,000 reserved for the game, $100,000 for the making-of documentary). It was one of the first games to have been successfully kickstarted. Broken Age is the latest title released by Double Fine Productions, an American video game developer founded by Tim Schafer back in 2000 and mostly known for their critically acclaimed title Psychonauts.
