![]() All the performances throughout the game are textured and emotive, giving the game that extra layer of polish. There are many famous names among the cast – including Elijah Wood as protagonist Shay, Jack Black as a suspect religious leader and Jennifer Hale as the ‘Mom’ AI – and while these do give you those “I-know-that-voice” moments, it doesn’t detract from the rest of the cast. On that note, the voice acting is top-notch. In a fun touch, there is specific spoken dialogue for quite a lot of these ‘wrong’ combinations, making a mistake feel less like a failure and more like a fun pit stop on the way. The traditional inventory is kept, of course, and offers the ability to try and use every thing on everything. Controls have been somewhat simplified, with a context-sensitive cursor that automatically shifts between movement, talking prompts and interaction as necessary. ![]() Gameplay is reminiscent of the traditional adventure game style, but with a few modernised tweaks. Both characters seek to break from their situation and forge their own paths Vella by destroying Mog Chothra and ending the Maiden’s Feast forever, and Shay by escaping the ship in search of adventure. Shay, on the other hand, is a boy who has grown up on a daycare-like spaceship overseen by his ‘Mom’, a coddling AI who still treats him like a baby. ![]() Vella is a girl from the village of Sugar Bunting, a town that is beset every dozen years by a great beast called Mog Chothra that can only be repelled by human sacrifices. Two years later, after a public and bumpy journey, we have the first act of that new adventure: Broken Age.īroken Age: Act 1 tells the story of two characters, starting in two distinctly different environments. Two years ago, developer Double Fine started what would become an historic Kickstarter campaign to fund a new point-and-click adventure game in the vein of Monkey Island and Day of the Tentacle.
