Grundislav Games has announced A Golden Wake: Roaring ’20s Edition, a complete reimagining of its 2014 point-and-click adventure game. Revealed by developer Francisco González on November 8, 2026, the new version will feature an expanded story, redesigned puzzles, additional characters and locations, updated artwork, newly recorded dialogue and a reworked soundtrack. The game is available to wishlist on Steam, although a release date has not been announced.
Rather than simply improving the original game’s graphics, Grundislav Games is rebuilding substantial parts of the experience. The developer describes the project as a reworking of the original adventure, combining familiar characters and historical settings with new narrative and gameplay content.
The story once again follows Alfie Banks, a salesman who leaves his unsuccessful career behind to pursue opportunities in Miami during Florida’s 1920s real estate boom. Hoping to establish himself in a rapidly growing city, Alfie becomes involved in a world of ambitious businessmen, political corruption and organized crime.
Set against the backdrop of Prohibition-era Miami, the adventure explores greed, loyalty and the consequences of pursuing financial success. Players will encounter rum runners, mobsters, questionable business deals and the growing instability of a property market heading toward collapse.
The Roaring ’20s Edition expands this setting with additional characters, locations and story developments. Grundislav Games has also confirmed new puzzles alongside the revised narrative, although the full extent of the changes has not yet been detailed.
Visually, the project moves beyond the original game’s pixel-art presentation. The updated edition features detailed hand-drawn environments and rotoscoped character animations, with the developer emphasizing that the artwork and animation are created by human artists.
These visual changes will extend across the game’s recreation of historical Miami, including tropical beaches, city streets and underground speakeasies. The environments retain the original adventure’s historical setting while adopting a substantially different presentation.
Gameplay will continue to focus on traditional point-and-click puzzle solving. Players must examine environments, interact with characters and use Alfie’s persuasive abilities to overcome obstacles. The redesigned puzzles are intended to accompany the expanded story rather than merely reproduce every challenge from the 2014 release.
Audio is receiving a significant overhaul as well. The new edition includes freshly recorded voice performances and an expanded period-inspired jazz soundtrack performed by live musicians. Composer Pete Gresser’s original score is being revisited, with Mark Benis involved in orchestration.
A Golden Wake originally launched in 2014 and was developed by Francisco González, who subsequently worked on narrative adventures including Lamplight City and Rosewater. The new project brings the developer back to one of his earlier games more than a decade after its initial release.
The Steam listing confirms that A Golden Wake: Roaring ’20s Edition is a single-player PC adventure with Steam achievements, cloud saves and partial controller support. Its listed minimum requirements include 4GB of RAM, DirectX 11 compatibility and 3GB of available storage.
Grundislav Games has not announced a release window or pricing for the reimagined adventure. The Steam store page is live, allowing interested players to add the game to their wishlists ahead of further announcements.
