Broken Age

Broken Age is a point-and-click adventure that follows two characters whose stories run in parallel. Vella's been selected as a sacrifice to a monster threatening her village, but she refuses to go quietly and fights back instead. Shay lives alone on a spaceship, looked after by a maternal AI that keeps him safe but bored. He's desperate to escape the routine and do something meaningful. You switch between their perspectives, solving inventory puzzles and talking to characters to uncover how their separate worlds connect. The art style leans heavily on hand-painted backgrounds, and the puzzles rely more on dialogue and observation than obscure item combinations. It's split into two acts that reveal the larger story linking both protagonists.
