A Golden Wake is a point-and-click adventure set in 1920s Florida during the real estate boom. You play Alfie Banks, a salesman trying to profit from Coral Gables' explosive growth. The game follows his rise through the property market while dealing with mob pressure, shady colleagues, and bootleggers. Historical events frame the story—the housing bubble, an incoming hurricane, and the looming Depression all factor into the plot. You'll navigate conversations, solve puzzles, and make choices as Alfie interacts with period-accurate locations and figures from Coral Gables' actual founding. The game blends adventure mechanics with a narrative grounded in real Florida history. It's suited for players who like story-driven adventures with historical settings and moral ambiguity baked into the premise.
