If you’re a fan of adventure games, you’ll no doubt remember that the year kicked off with a bang. Tim Schafer’s crowdfunded ‘Double Fine Adventure’ finally came to life as Broken Age: Act I, and it was devine. But not everyone is a …
Broken Age: Act 1 is a point-and-click adventure game developed by Double Fine. In this game, you take on the role of a young, sacrificed woman named Vella and a space station-bound boy named Shay as they face their individual fates in separate, yet somehow connected lives.

For years, people have been insistent on saying that the point-and-click graphic adventure is a dead genre. And to that, I say "bullcrap." It doesn't have the mainstream appeal that it once had, sure - but thanks to the likes of companies like Wadjet Eye Games, Daedalic Entertainment, Telltale and more, the selection of great point-and-click adventure games has been bigger than ever in recent years.The problem, though, is that there was one person we all really wanted to see make adventure games, and he just wasn't doing it. That person co-wrote the first two Monkey Island games, gave us Day of the Tentacle, Full Throttle and Grim Fandango, and walked away from the genre completely once public interest died off. That man was Tim Schafer.And now that man is back.
The Kickstarter launch for "Double Fine Adventure" last year took the internet by storm, reaching its $400,000 goal in a mere eight hours, and going on to earn over $3 million in 30 days. Although Double Fine has been keeping its 90,000 backers informed of developments on the now-officially titled Broken Age via videos and blog posts, the rest of the world has been largely unaware of how the adventure game is shaping up. We now have a little more to chew on, thanks to the first public reveal trailer and website launched last week.
