Overview
Description

Broken Age is a charming point-and-click adventure that follows two protagonists—Vella Tartine, a village girl chosen for sacrifice, and Shay Volta, a solitary boy aboard a spaceship. Their parallel stories intertwine as they each strive to break free from destiny and discover their own heroism. The game blends fantasy, science fiction, and comedy with clever puzzles and hand‑drawn art, delivering a narrative‑driven experience across multiple platforms for single‑player enjoyment.

In this indie adventure, a witch who abandoned magic to run a humble yarn shop discovers that peace is fleeting. When Wednesday arrives, she must confront her true purpose in the mortal world, using a spinning wheel and a pot of mushrooms as unlikely tools of chaos. The game blends whimsical storytelling with simple puzzles, letting players explore a charming world while deciding how much trouble to cause. It’s a single-player experience for PC and Mac that balances quiet moments with quirky mischief.
