Broken Age is a point-and-click adventure telling the stories of a young boy, Shay, and girl, Vella, leading parallel lives. The girl has been chosen by her village to be sacrificed to a terrible monster-but she decides to fight back. Meanwhile, a boy on a spaceship is living a solitary life under the care.
My question involves minor spoilers.So I decided to play through Act 1 of Broken Age again before jumping into Act 2. I played all the way through Vella's side of the story first and now I'm playing through Shay's.The problem is that I decided to change over to Vella's view after I had beaten it. The game shows her lying on the beach, knocked out.
Now I can't switch back to Shay. I've tried bringing the inventory menu up. That way, I could click on the Shay button to go back to his story. Unfortunately, it won't appear. What's odd is the fact that that the mouse changes to a hand (as if I can interact with a menu item) when I hover over the area the character switch button should be, even though the menu doesn't appear. Clicking when the cursor is a hand does nothing.So am I missing something? Or is this a glitch?
This appears to be a glitch that just started happening after Act 2 was released.In the meantime, the suggested is to exit the game, launch it again and choose continue game. This should revert you back to Shay.If that doesn't work, a community member has given these instructions that users are reporting as working:For anyone else with this issue on PC / MAC / Linux you can mess with the.sav files to get back to where you were.On Steam mine are in:/path/to/steam/steamapps/common/Broken Age/saves. Rename slot.sav to slot.bak as a backup. Copy slot.prev. Rename that to slot.sav.
Go back into Broken Age. Choose “Load game” and click on your slot (Don’t continue!)That should put you back as Shay from before you decided to check up on Vella.
Broken Age guide contains a detailed description of all objectives players have to follow in the game. The walkthrough gives instructions on solving puzzles as well as locations of all in-game items along with helpful screenshots. Since there are two playable characters in the game, the guide is split into two parts. For the sake of clarity, all chapters involving one particular character are arranged in a separate part. Each chapter is split into subheadings, in order to make navigation easier. The walkthrough also contains some general gameplay tips e.g.
The controls, switching between characters, as well as instruction how to unlock a secret game option, which Double Fine Studio prepared mainly for old school players.Broken Age is a typical representative of point'n'click adventure games. The game was developed by Tim Schafer - who is well-known to all fans of the genre - and his Double Fine Studio.
The game was entirely financed by fans through Kickstarter. Broken Age tells a story of two teenagers, who both stand up against norms which are generally accepted in the society they live in. You really cannot blame Vella for what she does - after all she and four of her female friends were chosen as a sacrificial offering for Mog Chothra, a monster which is regularly served offerings lest it destroyed the entire village. Shay, on the other hand, really wants to break free from an overprotective mother-spacecraft, who keeps controlling his every step. He dreams of great adventures and a little bit of self-reliance, which currently stays out of his reach.Broken Age guide contains:- detailed walkthrough- puzzles solutions- locations of all collectable items- general tips on the controls and switching between charactersDamian Kubik.
