Broken Age is a story driven point-and-click third-person adventure puzzle game available for download from the PlayStation Store for the PS4 and PS Vita. Broken Age is the first graphic adventure game from Tim Schafer in 16 years who is known for his work on such classic games within the genre as Day of the Tentacle and Psychonauts. He was the project lead on the original release of Grim Fandango which he stated cost around $3 million to develop and he also lead the project of remastering the game with Double Fine Productions. It has been quite a long time since Broken Age began as a Kickstarter campaign from February 9th 2012 looking for crowd funding which was so successful in how it was received by audiences that the campaign funded the initial figure of $400,000 in just over 8 hours; eventually greatly surpassing it to reach an astounding funding total of $3,336,371 by the middle of March 2012 from a total of 87,142 backers.
