What it is
Old Skies is a point-and-click time travel adventure from Wadjet Eye Games. Players take the role of Fia Quinn, a time agent for ChronoZen, and keep watch over seven travelers visiting different periods of the past. Some travelers are sightseeing; others have unfinished business. Fia must keep them satisfied while making sure they follow the rules of their trips. The seven eras include Prohibition-era speakeasies, the Gilded Age and the World Trade Center on September 10, 2001. Puzzles call for temporal thinking, and death is possible, but the time-travel setup lets players try again. The game features full voice acting and a musical score by Thomas Regin. Its listed features also include Steam Achievements, full controller support, DualShock and DualSense support, Steam Cloud, commentary and Family Sharing. Old Skies is available for Windows, macOS and Linux.
