Old Skies
Description
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.

87/100
A new adventure game classic, and a bit of a tear-jerker.

4/5
Acclaimed point-and-click studio Wadjet Eye's gently paced, time-travelling genre-hopper blends elegant puzzling and intricate, affecting storytelling to beautiful effect.

4/5 stars
Old Skies is an engaging point-and-click. It may not deviate heavily from the genre's formula, but the way the game bakes the time-travel aspects into some of the puzzle-solving provides a number of highs, and Fia's touching story and the twists along the way are worth experiencing.

Least impressive Wadjet Eye game
Poorly written with a lackluster story. It doesn't feel like a Wadjet Eye game. Usually I really like their titles. It felt like this was written in a hurry and that the story and world was just made up on the fly. It rarely feels more than slightly thought through. Most of the puzzles boils down to "go there and talk to that person, then go back there and talk to that person, then tell that person what this person said or did" into oblivion. Like a constant barrage of dialogue fetch quests. Most of the remaining puzzles are trial and errors, where you replay the same scene over and over until some condition has been met. I've never been a fan of these trial and error puzzles but at least most games that use them don't over rely on them as much as this. Modern political sentiments galore, for anyone who is tired of that. Good music and overall fluent gameplay but in the end a point and click game depends too much on the story, writing and puzzles for that to matter much.

Somewhat recommended
Not a bad game, but definitely nowhere near "Unavowed" or "Technobabylon". Not even close. Gameplay and difficulty are fine for the most part, even though the rewinds can get annoying real fast. What I disliked most about them is that more than once it takes several iterations until the game finally gives you the options you need to resolve the current situation, even though sometimes it's blatantly obvious from the start what you should be doing. The individual chapters were okay narratively, but felt a bit disjointed (as in lack of overarching plot) until the last chapter basically ties them all together. In a far too "on rails" fashion, for my taste. There are also strong LGBTQ themes here, but they're competently included in the worldbuilding, without the incessant preaching that makes them so obnoxious in other games. Bottom line: if you like other WadjetEye games this might still be worth checking out, but wait for a discount.
