Broken Age Complete

Broken Age Complete, also known simply as Broken Age, is a point-and-click adventure from Double Fine Productions. You toggle between two young characters, Vella and Shay, each stuck in very different, peculiar worlds. Ever wanted to explore a village threatened by a monster and a spaceship with a quirky computer nanny? This game throws you right into that mix. It’s not your average adventure game – puzzles demand some thinking, but nothing too wild. If you enjoy stories told in two parts that eventually connect, this might catch your interest.

What’s the game about?

You follow two protagonists with very different problems. Vella faces a monster that her village wants to send her to fight, while Shay is trapped on a ship, looking for a way out with only a curious onboard AI for company. The neat trick? You switch between their stories whenever you want, piecing together the bigger picture. They’re not linked by geography but by mystery and a bit of fate. Fun, right?

Key features

• Dual storylines: Play as both Vella and Shay. Different settings, different vibes.
• Classic point-and-click: Click, explore, and solve puzzles—you know the drill.
• Unique puzzles: Not too crazy, but some require a bit of thinking across both characters.
• Visual style: Hand-drawn art that’s clean and colorful, with animations that keep things simple.
• Voice cast: Hear Elijah Wood and Jack Black—yep, those guys lend their voices here.

Why give it a try?

Wondering if Broken Age Complete is just another adventure game? Well, it’s got a light-hearted tone mixed with some surprisingly clever puzzles. Nothing too hard for a casual player but enough to keep you engaged. Lesson learned: sometimes the best answers come from clicking everything on screen (yes, even that random bird). Plus, switching between two characters keeps things fresh.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Easy to get into, charming art, interesting dual narrative
• Cons: Puzzles may feel simple for hardcore puzzle fans, the pace can be slow

Final thoughts

If you’re into point-and-click adventures and like stories that meander with a bit of charm and humor, Broken Age Complete is worth a download. The game doesn’t overwhelm with heavy lore or wall-of-text dialogue. Instead, it invites you to explore two quirky worlds at your own pace. Need a challenge? You got it. Just don’t forget to talk to every character—you never know when a random tip will save your day.
