Old Skies was born in a 2019 game jam that Dave entered under a pseudonym. He has since expanded the idea into a full-fledged adventure that unfolds across seven time periods in New York City, ranging from the Gilded Age to Prohibition to the eve of September 11. The game is under development for PC, Nintendo Switch, Mac, and Linux.
About Old Skies
For Fia Quinn, hopping through time is just another day on the job. Join this ChronoZen time agent for seven missions with clients who have the desire (and the bank accounts) to sightsee in the past.
Some are simply curious. Others have unfinished business. And they’ve all put down a lot of money for the trip, so it’s vital to keep them happy while ensuring they follow the rules. What could go wrong? It’s only time travel, after all.
Features:
- Seven time periods to explore, from Prohibition-era speakeasies to the criminal underworld of the Gilded Age to the World Trade Center on September 10, 2001.
- High resolution 1920×1080 graphics. (That’s three times higher than Unavowed!)
- 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, the composer for Unavowed and the Blackwell series.
- Professional voice acting with Wadjet Eye’s largest cast yet.
