The latest point and click adventure from Wadjet Eye Games is out now with Old Skies sending you through time. It has Native Linux support and is Steam Deck Verified.

More about it: "Fia Quinn is a time traveler, accompanying clients of the ChronoZen Time Travel Agency on jumps to other eras to make sure they don't rewrite important aspects of history. Some of these people are merely curious. Others have unresolved business. As long as they can pay for the trip, their motivations don't matter to Fia... until they do. Jump with Fia into seven time-travel cases spanning two centuries, from the speakeasies of Prohibition to the vicious gangs of the Gilded Age to the World Trade Center on September 10, 2001. Solve temporal problems, survive paradoxes, and resolve the mistakes of the past or die trying -- as many times as it takes."

The Wadjet games I've played have been very nice, so there's hope this is a good game, too. I cannot say I am a fan of the highres graphics though as I really liked the pixelart in their other titles a lot more.

Agreed, I will probably buy this just because I really like Wadjet Eye games and would prefer to support them.

But honestly I don't love the high res graphics/style, and the voice acting is.. okay, at least in the trailers.

Kind of like going from Space Quest 4 to Space Quest 6.
