Broken Age is a hand-painted, story-driven adventure game created by Tim Schafer and Double Fine Productions. It follows two teenagers, Vella Tartine and Shay Volta, who live in very different worlds yet share parallel destinies. Players alternate between their stories — one trapped on a spaceship seeking freedom, and the other chosen for a mysterious village ritual — discovering how their paths intertwine through exploration, puzzles, and heartfelt storytelling.
