Old Skies is a critically acclaimed point-and-click adventure game developed and published by Wadjet Eye Games, known for their modern take on classic adventure titles. Players step into the shoes of Fia, a time-travel agent working for Chrono-Corps, an organization that caters to wealthy tourists seeking glimpses into history. When her designated routes through seven distinct historical periods start exhibiting dangerous overlaps, Fia finds herself embroiled in a gripping mystery that questions the very rules of time.
The game takes Fia on a journey across various eras, including 1930s Prohibition-era New York, the 1970s, and the distant future. Unlike simple sightseeing, Fia’s job often involves preventing tourists from altering history—and solving the resulting temporal paradoxes. The core gameplay features classic inventory puzzles and witty dialogue, but introduces unique time-manipulation mechanics, requiring players to communicate with their past selves and leverage knowledge of future events to progress. Old Skies offers a compelling blend of sci-fi intrigue, historical detail, and emotional storytelling.
