A Golden Wake, a retro style point and click adventure game set in the 1920s has had a demo released today on Steam for PC, Mac and Linux. You can also download the demo from the official website here. The game will be fully released on October 9th.
A Golden Wake is being developed by Grundislav Games and the story is as follows:
‘The Roaring Twenties: a bygone era of glitz, glamour, and promise. Nowhere is this more apparent than Coral Gables, Florida. The real estate market is booming and even an ordinary guy like Alfie Banks has a chance to strike it rich.
But with the mob on his back, the Great Depression on the horizon, and the Sunshine State’s idyllic waterfront only a hurricane away from total devastation, Alfie finds much more than he bargained for.
Based on actual events and featuring real life locations and historical figures, you must guide Alfie on his journey to reach the top of the real estate game as he deals with shady salesmen, cutthroat bootleggers, corrupt politicians, and much more, all while swept up in the events surrounding the inception of Coral Gables, The City Beautiful.’
A Golden Wake takes us back to classic point and click adventure games like The Secret of Monkey Island and Day of the Tentacle. The game looks fantastic and you can check out the official trailer for the game below.
The demo can be downloaded right now on Steam or the official website. The game will be releasing on October 9th exclusively for the PC. However, Grundislav games plan to port A Golden Wake to other systems in the future, including iOS.
