Hello friends. This is a Let’s Play video of “Broken Relic” demo version. First day on the job. You broke a seal, unleashed a dark power, and may have doomed everyone. Now there’s only one thing to do: pretend you know what you’re doing!
Broken Relic delivers a whimsical yet heartfelt homage to the golden age of point-and-click adventures, channeling the pixel-perfect charm of early LucasArts and Sierra classics. Its world brims with offbeat humor, unforgettable fully-voiced characters, and clever puzzles that reward curiosity and wit—never punishing the player with fail states or tedious pixel hunting. As hapless apprentice Tim, you stumble into disaster at the Nytheris Archive, accidentally unsealing an ancient evil and setting off on a quest to reforge a shattered mystical relic. Nonlinear exploration, lush hand-crafted pixel art, and a delightfully quirky medieval fantasy soundtrack ensure every scene feels meticulously crafted yet alive with surprises. Broken Relic stands out for its seamless blend of nostalgia, heartfelt comedy, and innovative accessibility, welcoming both seasoned adventure fans and newcomers into its lovingly chaotic embrace.
