Our take on Old Skies
Its defining structure is the role of a time-travel supervisor: Fia escorts visitors through seven historical trips, balancing their personal agendas against rules that protect the timeline.
What is Old Skies?
Old Skies follows Fia Quinn, an agent of the ChronoZen agency, during seven journeys across two hundred years of history.
Each trip involves travelers who visit the past for personal reasons, while Fia monitors them, keeps them satisfied, and ensures they follow the rules. Locations include Prohibition-era speakeasies, the gangs of the Gilded Age, and the World Trade Center on September 10, 2001. The point-and-click adventure uses puzzles based on temporal thinking, and Fia can die during the journey before trying again. The game features 1920 × 1080 graphics, full voice acting, and a musical score by Thomas Regin, who also composed music for Unavowed and the Blackwell series.
