A Golden Wake (2014)
A Golden Wake is a 2014 adventure video game made by Grundislav Games.
Coral Gables, 1920s. The Florida real-estate boom is in full swing, and Alfie Banks, an ordinary New York salesman, arrives to cash in. The period detail is grounded in actual events: the actual streets, the actual developers, the optimism that pulled thousands south before reality closed in. Mob pressure, a looming hurricane season, and the distant rumble of economic collapse frame Alfie's climb. A Wadjet Eye historical adventure that treats its era with genuine care, unfolding at the unhurried pace of a document hunt.

A few thoughts on A Golden Wake
If the period atmosphere is the draw, Captain Ron captures a similar sun-soaked Florida spirit, though played for laughs rather than drama. For other Wadjet Eye Games adventures with the same patience for place and character, the Blackwell series is the obvious starting point.
