Time Travel is real and history is up for grabs! In this point-and-click, you play Fia Quinn, a time agent for the ChronoZen agency. 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.
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.

Been a fan since avowed, and gone through the Blackwell games since. Old Skies is the latest of a reliable chain of stories and characters that are a delight to get lost in
This game was extrordonary. I love time travel stories and I put this up there with the best of them! I was hooked all the way to the end which did invoked some tears in me. That's how good this is. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMENDED!!
The story really carries this game, with it slowly unfolding touching emotional impact. Some pretty wonderful character development and a prime example of world-building, as each chapter adds new levels to both the characters and to the impact time travel has on the world.
The actual game elements sometimes felt less well-polished, and sometimes I wished I could just sit back and consume the story without being forced to deal with the limited interaction the game requires of me.
Not that this game is puzzle-less—by no means. The puzzles are actually both creative and somewhat hard to solve. It is more that in some cases they seem to detract from the story a little bit, instead of adding to it.
Nonetheless, this is a great game!
I've made it to chapter 5 Old Skies and am enjoying what it has to offer.
Unlike most adventure games, Old Skies doesn't give you much of an item inventory. Puzzle solving is more about paying attention to conversations and other clues. Then using them to guide branching interactions. With that said, you'll still be picking up occasional items to solve more traditional adventure game problems.
The story is also on point. The first few chapters are stand alone stories setting up the basics of the Old Skies world. Things then come together to a deeper meta-narrative starting in the middle chapters.
I was expecting the larger narrative to focus on monopolies and manipulating time to benefit the rich. But, fortunately (in my opinion), the story is more personal than that. Emphasizing the psychological and physical impacts of being a time-manipulator-for-hire. With a balance of melodrama and light humor.
I have a few more hours left in Old Skies and am excited to see where it goes.
