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.

Wadjet Eye at its Best ...
... and that of course means, if you're looking for complex puzzles, look elsewhere. There's a notable effort to include more challenging puzzles in the second half, but mostly, you're getting a trial - err and die - try again game mechanic that seldom yields the kind of "God am I so clever" epiphany that point and click adventure game enthusiasts are so hooked on. Old Skies excels in basically everything else. High res backgrounds with impeccable lighting, quirky character specific animation, exciting and gratuitously depressing world building, brilliant voice acting, unobtrusive references to former Wadjet Eye games, and a rocky ride in a twisting and turning storyline that loves to slap you in the face as soon as you think you've achieved something of lasting importance – it's all there. The only truly painful thing here is that we can not possibly wait another seven years for the next Wadjet Eye adventure game. Get a move on, Dave!

I enjoyed it...
I like this game, it has a nice atmosphere and creative story line. I have only played it for a few hours, but I'm curious where the story is going to go. I do wish there was a little more freedom to move between times, as you are limited to the mission (at least so far). I give it a solid 4 stars.

Another banger from Wadjet
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
