Classic-styled adventure game Broken Relic launches Kickstarter

A solo developer with an impressive rap sheet (King, Rebellion, Ubisoft), Pablo Morales, is launching a Kickstarter for his new point and click adventure: Broken Relic.

The pixel P&C adventure is built with classic titles’ DNA, inspired by legendary LucasArts and Sierra games. Expect lots of witty dialogues, moon-logic puzzles and scenes you’ll want linger on.

A free demo is already available on Steam. The Kickstarter campaign is already live, so check that out as well.

Here’s a rundown and a trailer:

What is Broken Relic?

You play Tim, an apprentice who unleashes an ancient threat and must recover three relic shards to set things right. Expect characterful dialogue, hand-crafted pixel art, and puzzle design that rewards curiosity over guesswork.

Key features

  • Classic point-and-click feel with smart, readable puzzle chains
  • Hand-crafted pixel art and expressive character animation
  • Character-driven dialogue with humour and heart
  • Non-linear shard hunt, tackle regions in your own order

Why Kickstarter, why now
Funding focuses on final art/polish, professional English voice-over, localisation, QA, and manufacturing of the big-box editions. Stretch goals expand content/value visible to all backers.

“I grew up on LucasArts and Sierra, trading puzzle solutions at school and dreaming of making one myself. Broken Relic is that dream: a heartfelt, modern take on the adventure I always wanted to play,” said creator Pablo Morales. “If those games shaped you too, I think this will feel like home.”
