The first act of Broken Age, Tim Schafer’s long awaited return to the adventure game genre, will be available to backers of its Kickstarter campaign on January 20th.
Schafer revealed the news in a series of tweets last Friday, and teased the announcement of the game’s official release date.
Next Tuesday is going to be exciting because that's when backers can play Broken Age, Act 1! Public release date will be announced then too.

Haven't shipped a game of my own in 4.5 years, an adventure game in 16, a point-n-click in almost 20. Next Tuesday is going to be exciting!

There is also a Steam Early Access version of the game, also containing just the first act, scheduled to hit the online retailer a few weeks after backers get their hands on it.
Here’s the initial trailer again. Looking forward to Schafer’s return to the adventure game?
