14 DAY TRIAL // Wadjet Eye Games is announcing their next project, in partnership with indie developer Grundislav Games, a point-and-click adventure game set in the Roaring Twenties, titled A Golden Wake.
The Roaring Twenties was an era of glamour, promise and excess that overshadowed the Great Depression that followed. The action is set in Coral Gables, a booming housing development near Miami, Florida.
As the real estate market is taking off, even ordinary chumps like everyday man Alfie Banks have a chance at getting rich. Alas, with the mob on his back, an approaching hurricane threatening to destroy everything and a financial crisis looming over the horizon, things are going to be tough.
A Golden Wake is a nostalgic adventure that covers two dramatic decades of American history, the era of The Great Gatsby, with a great plot based on real people and locations.
"Having grown up in Miami, I wanted to tell the story of an era that's usually depicted in New York or Chicago. Miami's land boom and bust during the 1920s and 1930s represents a fascinating slice of our recent history, and I was able to incorporate a lot of real people and events into the narrative of this everyman going after the American Dream," says A Golden Wake's designer Francisco Gonzalez of his decision to set the game during the Jazz Age.
A Golden Wake is set to be released sometime this fall, for PC, as a digital product only.
