From the same indie team that made Unavowed and the Blackwell mysteries, Old Skies follows time traveler Fia Quinn on seven missions spanning 200 years in New York City. The game costs USD $19.99 (or equivalent in local currency), with a 10% discount the first week. The official soundtrack is also available for $2.99.

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 series.



Happy Gaming!

I'm playing...and enjoying...Old Skies now. If you played the first demo released a while ago, you've essentially played chapter one. If you played the second demo released more recently, you've essentially played chapter two. I say "essentially" because the game is more polished now and I, at least, found it worth playing chapters one and two in the whole game. It's clever, as can be expected from Dave Gilbert, with very good voiceovers and a move away from pixel art. I understand it's quite a long game with many more chapters to go. It's a treat to get to play a new release from the pros at Wadjet Eye Games!

Not too sure about this one. I wasn't too fond of the demo. Thank you Ana


It's never too late!
