History
Built with intention, soul, honesty, and candor, the relatable story of Old Man’s Journey was designed to showcase universal truths that transcend across cultures and the many stages of life.
The team behind the game, Felix and Clemens of Broken Rules, were inspired to create the Old Man’s Journey upon struggling to find balance in their own lives between family, career, and following their dreams.
A concept that emotionally connected with them and they believed would resonate with many, they sought out to take players on a heartfelt experience of reflection, told through the touching life story of an old man.
They’ve worked tirelessly to combine the rich, handcrafted world, inquisitive puzzles, and heartfelt narrative of the old man’s unfulfilled promises and realized dreams into what they believe is a timelessly relatable experience.
