Old Skies Locks in April 23rd Release

Developer Wadjet Eye Games has announced that Old Skies will finally launch digitally on April 23rd for the Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam and GOG. In the latest trailer for this time travel-themed point-and-click adventure game, we meet Hannah Tanaka, one of the clients whose case players need to solve.

As part of Steam Next Fest 2022, Neal Chandran got around to playing the demo of Old Skies and shared his impressions. Let’s just say that small snippet was enough to make him add it to his Steam wishlist. Read on for more details.

Old Skies Overview

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 in New York City, 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.
