Hey everyone!
A while ago, I decided I wanted to make my own point-and-click adventure game.
There was just one tiny problem: I had absolutely no idea how to make a video game.
But I've loved adventure games since I was a kid, especially the old LucasArts classics, and at some point I thought... how hard could it be?
Well, I'm finding out. The hard way. 😅
So here I am, learning everything from scratch and doing pretty much everything myself, trying to bring After the Golden Age to life.
It's a 320×200 pixel art adventure with a four-verb interface, plenty of puzzles, some ridiculous humor, and a story about friendship, conspiracies, mystery, and a world where adventure games have become obsolete.
I've just released an updated version of the free demo, and everything is now 100% human-made. No AI-generated art!
The demo takes around 25 minutes to play, and I'd genuinely love to hear what you think. Good or bad. Especially if something doesn't work!
You can play the free demo here:

It's also available on Steam, where you can wishlist the full game if you like what you see.
And if you're curious about the development (or just want to watch a grown man slowly lose his mind trying to make a video game), I've also made a website with some rather unusual devlogs:

Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy it!
