If you're a lover of point and click adventure games, you're going to want to watch the new trailer for Old Skies from Wadjet Eye Games. Due out sometime in Spring 2025, it will have Native Linux support.

A little reminder on what it is: "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."

Seems I haven't covered this since the original reveal trailer back in mid 2022, so it's nice to see how it's coming along! Keeping this now firmly in my watch-list, that trailer really caught my attention.

Feature Highlight:

  • 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.

I would buy any point and click from Wadjet Eye Games without any additional information, pictures, trailers, anything.

I buy everything from them, I liked most games alot, also their support and also their Linux support is quite stellar.

Am I correct in assuming that this game, like their other ones, is an ags game, hence going to be playable via scummvm?

Haven't played any game by this dev, yet. At the moment, they are all on sale over at gog, so I think I will test how scummvm runs them on my phone and/or pi.

"Test," that is ^_^

Indeed.
Not many devs like that.

This has been my biggest disappointment of the week. When I saw the start of the title, I thought that it was a release announcement. I've been waiting for the game for a long time.

For me the biggest pleasant surprise; I hadn't noticed (or plainly forgotten) the original reveal. In fact, I managed to miss the existence of this dev entirely up to now
