Your Featured Giveaway #13!

Broken Age is an adventure game brought to you by maestros Tim Schafer and co. at Double Fine and launched via an enormously successful Kickstarter campaign.

Featuring beautiful, hand-painted art, an orchestral score and top-tier vocal talent from Jack Black, Elijah Wood and many others, Broken Age is a treat for the eyes and the ears.

Shay lives a hermit-like, totally sheltered existence on a spaceship controlled by a motherly-type A.I. Although his every need is catered too, his desire to see and explore the outside soon overcomes his willingness to remain within the confines of his artificial safety bubble.

Separately, Vella lives in a terrestrian village and faces the delightful honor of being sacrificed to a monster in order to usher in a period of calm, until it hungers again. Against the wishes of most, Vella instead plans to fight the monster and escape the cycle of sacrificial appeasing.

Although literally worlds apart, the stories of Shay and Vella can be freely switched between at the click of a mouse. Will they be able to escape their faith or will their aching for adventure end in disaster?

Check out the gameplay mashup video at the top of this page to get a feel for the unusual situations our protagonists find themselves in, and why escape might be on their minds...
