If you could travel back in time... When would you go? What would you change? Who would you save?

On April 23, seven clients of the ChronoZen Time Travel Agency will grapple with these questions when Old Skies launches on the Nintendo eShop, Steam, and GOG.

Join their time-travel escort, Fia Quinn, on missions across 200 years of New York City's history. The new trailer released today gives a first look at one of Fia's assignments: an unsolved murder that occurred hours before the September 11 terror attacks.

Check out the trailer here.

ABOUT OLD SKIES
Fia Quinn is a time traveler, accompanying clients of the ChronoZen Time Travel Agency on jumps to other eras to make sure they don't rewrite important aspects of history. Some of these people are merely curious. Others have unresolved business. As long as they can pay for the trip, their motivations don't matter to Fia... until they do.

Jump with Fia into seven time-travel cases spanning two centuries, from the speakeasies of Prohibition to the vicious gangs of the Gilded Age to the World Trade Center on September 10, 2001. Solve temporal problems, survive paradoxes, and resolve the mistakes of the past or die trying -- as many times as it takes.

What could go wrong? It's only time travel, after all.
BEHIND THE SCENES
Old Skies' designer, Dave Gilbert, has been releasing story-driven adventure games for almost two decades through his tiny independent studio, Wadjet Eye Games. Nearly all of his games have been set in a supernatural version of his beloved hometown of New York City.

Although he has collaborated with other indie developers more recently, Old Skies is Dave's first personal project since IGF-nominee Unavowed in 2018. He's been working on Old Skies for almost six years, after first playing with the time travel concept in a game jam that he entered using a pseudonym.

Old Skies ups the ante for Wadjet Eye's output with high-res 1920x1080 graphics hand-drawn by artist Ben Chandler, an original musical score by composer Thomas Regin, and professional voice acting from Wadjet Eye's largest cast to date. Though Old Skies can be enjoyed by anyone, plenty of references and Easter eggs are waiting for those familiar with Unavowed and the Blackwell mysteries.


Happy Gaming!

Thanks BET. Am looking forward to this.
We did a first look based on the demo about 3 years ago, which speaks to how long it takes to bring a game to release.
I confess I would be interested in knowing a bit more about the production process. For instance, the demo seems to be like a pilot version of a tv series - most of the bells and whistles are there, but there is much more to come. Does that mean the game maker has to seperately focus on producing a fully fledged portion of the envisaged game, or is the game produced progressively in any event (so the demo is just a point at which you are up to) or is it something else entirely?
