Broken Age

Happy Anniversary!
Broken Age came out two years ago! Happy Birthday to Broken Age!

Broken Age is now available with Russian Subtitles!
A while ago we announced that we were working on a Russian translation of Broken Age for the Windows, OSX and Linux versions of the game.

We’re happy to tell you that those translations, both the subtitles and in-game textures, are live right now on Steam!

Спасибо, и наслаждайтесь игрой

Broken Age Act 2 Now Available!
We’ve made it! Believe it or not, the Double Fine Adventure has reached its end! (the game… not the company)

This has been a long and crazy journey for all of us, unlike anything we've ever done. First it was a crowdfunding campaign, then a watershed event, then a movement, then a controversy. But now, finally, it's just a game.

Well, a game and a documentary. Just a game, and a documentary, and a soundtrack. And an art book. A game, documentary, soundtrack, an art book, and a couple of backer bowling parties, but THAT'S IT. Oh, and a bunch of t-shirts.

As the novelty of its funding story fades, what remains is just the work itself. The story of two young people leading separate, but parallel lives, pushing against the scripts that have been written for them, taking control of their destinies, and then taking responsibility for the consequences.

Broken Age was designed not as two separate episodes, but as one complete story.

If you already played Act 1 then your save game will still work after the update and you can continue from the start of Act 2. But keep in mind--there are many puzzle hints and narrative set ups in Act 1 that you might have forgotten in the year since it came out.

"So why didn't you make a, 'Previously on Broken Age...' video?" you ask, from that part of your brain that really, really misses LOST…

Well, we thought about it, but I felt that would have drawn too much attention to the hints and made the story set ups too obvious.

With all that in mind, I'm hoping and recommending that you start from the beginning so you can judge the game as a complete work.

Hey, you know all the puzzle solutions anyway, right? And you can double-click on doors to fast-travel, so it won't take any time at all. Also, there are new achievements in Act 1 that you don't want to miss. And are you 100% sure you heard all the stool jokes the first time through? But hey, I get paid the same either way so what do I care? :)

Your time is valuable, so let me just sum up Act 1 here for you: It was amazing.

However you play, I hope you enjoy Broken Age. Happy pointing and clicking! And tapping and dragging and… thumbing? Do you say thumbing? You know what I mean.

Thanks for playing!

Controller and Touch Support!
Hey all, we just updated Broken Age with full controller and touch support! All of these modes should just work (at the same time actually!), but there's an updated controller remapping section in the options menu if you want to tweak it. And try messing with the right stick and triggers in game and the d-pad in the inventory for some super pro moves. Let us know what you think on the forums!

Broken Age Act 1 Release
Thanks to all of you lovely folks who checked out the game during our backer beta from January 14-28. We thought it would be good to drop everyone a note about the release build that went up after that. This build included the following stuff:

New interaction options



  • There are now options to toggle between click and drag interaction modes
  • Inventory is now mapped to right click on PC and Linux
  • Added mouse sensitivity options


Art and animation polish


Lots of scenes were re-painted at a higher resolution and many animation pops and sorting issues were fixed up!

There was also just a lot of general bug fixing during this period. I'd recommend checking the game out again before act 2 releases.

AND THANKS FOR PLAYING!
