For those who don’t remember: Broken Age is a point and click game that I picked up last year.  Well, I picked up the first half; the second half was still in development. And now it is not. I had a good time with it, will probably have a good time with the second half, you should check it out.  It’s a pretty stress-free game.

…as it has been, frankly, a stressful weekend here at Chez Lane and I needed a distraction.  So far… Broken Age is pretty good. I’ve never really done point-and-click games, so I don’t perhaps understand why fans of point-and-click games all seem to be jumping up and down for joy at the interface*; but it’s a nice little story and I do like that it’s the girl that’s apparently got to go out there and kill a monster, while it’s the boy who has to break out of the maddeningly restrictive constraints that a patronizing tyrants has placed on his life.  Novel.
