As the subject title says, Old Skies has officially launched on Steam and GOG! Join ChronoZen agent Fia Quinn on a time-travel adventure spanning 200 years. Old Skies is a story of love, loss and legacy. Plus it's 10% off during the first week! Dive into the past with time agent Fia Quinn as she embarks on seven trips through time. History is up for grabs—from the speakeasies of Prohibition, to the vicious gangs of the Gilded Age, to the World Trade Center on September 10, 2001.

Your job is to keep close watch on seven travelers who have the desire (and the bank accounts) to sightsee in the past. Some are simply curious. Others have unfinished business to resolve. And they've all put down a lot of money for the trip, so it's vital that you keep them happy while ensuring they follow the rules. But what could go wrong? It's only time travel, after all.




IMPORTANT NOTE: If you played the demo, the SAVES DO NOT PERSIST to the main game. Sorry about that. Couldn't be avoided.


Features:
  • Seven eras of history to visit! From the speakeasies of Prohibition to the gangs of the Gilded Age to the morning of September 11th.
  • High resolution 1920 x 1080 graphics! That's 3x higher than Unavowed.
  • Lots of puzzles that require temporal thinking to solve.
  • Death! You CAN die in this adventure game, but time travel means you can try again. And again. And again.
  • Musical score by Thomas Regin (composer for Unavowed and the Blackwell series)
  • Full voice acting! Our largest cast yet.

Old Skies is now DECK VERIFIED!
It took awhile to get through Valve's certification process, but Old Skies is ready to play on the Steam Deck when the game launches on April 23rd!

This game took almost five years to make and reaching this day doesn't seem real. I SO hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it.

That first image made me think of Jesse from Control.

I don't particularly love Wadjet Eye's art style, but I could instantly tell from the first image thumbnail that this was their game.

I've played all their past games, so I'll be getting to this one surely. And wow, time flies: 7 years since their last game Unavowed! Before that one, they released a game every year. What have they been doing all this time?
