Old Skies (2025)
Old Skies is a 2025 point-and-click video game made by Wadjet Eye Games.
Time agent Fia Quinn works for an organization that polices the past, and her caseload is genuinely varied: a speakeasy in Prohibition-era America, the street gangs of the Gilded Age, and a hotel room the night before September 11, 2001. Each of Old Skies' seven trips is a self-contained chapter, written by Wadjet Eye's Dave Gilbert with the studio's characteristic focus on character over puzzle. The time-travel mechanics are thoughtful rather than gimmicky, and the game earns the weight of the historical settings it enters.

A few thoughts on Old Skies
12 Monkeys is the natural companion: a show that uses time travel as a structure for grief and consequence rather than spectacle, with the same willingness to sit inside difficult historical moments rather than skim past them.
