In a taxi at butt early o’clock en route to the airport for a flight to London. It’s time for another #AdventureX!

I have never played a game by @wadjeteyegames.bsky.social that didn't completely absorb my attention. They are all extremely well-crafted. The Blackwell games in particular are a wonderful series!

Old Skies. Time travel/loop adventure point and click about making connections in a world where capitalist time fuckery could wipe your loved ones from the timeline at any given moment.

10 MORE GREAT 2025 GAMES WE SHOULD BE TALKING ABOUT 9. Old Skies An intriguing time-traveling adventure in which you work for a future agency that allows people to make changes in the past... for a price. One of the standout portions takes place in New York on Sept 10, 2001. What would you do?

My attempts to pack for AdventureX have been thwarted.

When I was small I did not daydream about jetpacks, flying cars or space travel. I daydreamed about crop circles, arcane alphabets, secret places, Gods hidden in nature. I think that's why I'm making an adventure game.

Old Skies!! I'm always gonna shoutout @wadjeteyegames.bsky.social stuff 😸

Oh boy do I have some good news for this guy.

Hoping to announce our next project before AdventureX, assuming Valve approves our Steam page in time.

Haircut day.

Currently listening to the soundtrack of #theexcavationofhobsbarrow #hobsbarrow … and that is one of the things I really like about most @wadjeteyegames.bsky.social games: their simple yet beautiful (often synth-laden) soundtracks. Usually I just blindly get the soundtrack bundle these days.

My indie game in 15 seconds. #oldskies

Thanks for the shout! Old Skies gave a the concept of time travel one of the most honest, personal, and grounded treatements we have ever seen.

😈

A deep dive discussion into Old Skies from Pages of Play! Thank you so much.

I finished it today, and truly enjoyed it. Has really made me want to play more classic point-and-click adventure games like this -- I do have a bunch of releases from Wadjet Eye Games (the publisher of this) in my Steam library, so should tackle some of those.

Pinterest used to be the best place to get ideas on how to decorate and furnish a room, but the site has been utterly taken over by AI slop. Urg. I hate it.

I didn't want to say anything immediately after finishing it, but I think @wadjeteyegames.bsky.social Old Skies is so good that it might have rekindled my love of point & click adventure games. I played a *lot* of them in high school/college, then went a long time playing them only rarely.

I really love Wadjet's stuff. My favorite is Unavowed.

Old Skies, 2025

This one:

I have become a guy who spackles.

Closed on a house and we will be moving again next month. I’ve suddenly gotten REALLY into DIY videos on YouTube. Are the two things connected? Does this just magically happen when you become a house owner for the first time? You gain an insatiable desire for knowledge on how to reseal a driveway?

Just completed @wadjeteyegames.bsky.social 's "Old Skies." I love it! I can't link directly to my review, alas, but here's a link to the store page. I'm listed as "All The Games". www.gog.com/en/game/old_... Short version: time-traveling investigative point-and-click that does everything right.

Also Old Skies is just a seriously good game, like really good. If you like smart point&clicks and don't get this one, I cannot help you. It had me choke up at several points, and also laugh out loud; it is well written and the acting by Sally and Ed is superb (and they both are just treasures too).

We were still in the mood for some point-and-clicking after finishing The Dig, so Kit and I are crossing off one of the backlog I've been meaning to get around to for Wormwood Studios/Wadjet Eye's Primordia. I've always been intrigued by the premise of this game and how it looks.

Never played a wadjeteye game I didn't love

Eurogamer calling Old Skies "Compelling and existentially terrifying" is probably the most flattering compliment the game has ever received.

Old Skies is part of the Story Rich promotion on GOG at the moment! www.gog.com/en/promo/202...

If you haven't played Old Skies yet, you really should! It's one of my favorite adventure games of the year. The story's neat and the voice acting is fantastic!

GIANT SPOILERS FOR OLD SKIES FROM THE BEGINNING! Six months after launch, I feel like it's safe to start sharing more spoilery stuff- anyone who's played knows that's basically... the whole game. Here's a little montage of some of my favourite acting moments playing Fia Quinn in Old Skies:

You miss all the shots you don't take.

There’s a lot to be angry and sad about in the world right now, but the Mamdani win (and the bonus of Cuomo losing) is a reason to be happy. I’ll take the win. I may not live there anymore but NYC is still my city. It’s always inspired me and moments like this are the reason.

Well done, New York. 🫡

Man I just love these games. It makes me so happy that I got to be a part of them. You can hear me learning to voice act over the course of all the series, and by the end I’m this close to acceptable.

Cuomo may be a corrupt and sleazy sex pest but at least he’s now officially endorsed by the most corrupt and sleazy sex pests in the country What an honor. I am not a New Yorker anymore but I love the place. Please don’t put this guy in charge.

Finally got around to playing Old Skies, hot damn it didn't disappoint.

things that live rent-free in my mind the exchange in Blackwell Epiphany where Rosa is adamant about searching answers for George Ostin because "He was one of us" and after a beat of silence, Joey responds with a slightly wavering, touched and surprised "Us?"

Things that make my heart go OUCH in the Blackwell series, part 24601: Whenever there's a dangerous situation and you left click on Joey with Rosa and she says "he doesn't care, as always", then you left click on her with Joey and he says "I won't let anything happen to her". MAN.

more fanarts for wam ups go play the blackwell series, btw. I never say this enough

100%. I think a lot of today's adventures (Old Skies!) are actually *better* than the supposed "golden age" of the LucasArts/Sierra rivalry.

Forget fame, money and accolades. THIS is a proper legacy.

My partner has been wanting to get another dog for a bit now. But since we’ve started playing Old Skies together, she’s decided to name that new dog “Fia.” I feel like this is important information for @wadjeteyegames.bsky.social and @sallybeaumont.bsky.social to know.

The Excavation of Hob's Barrow is a blood-curdling 55% off in the Steam Halloween sale! A perfect time to play our folk horror adventure game inspired by movies such as The Wicker Man & the works of M.R. James, with a little pinch of Twin Peaks and Lovecraft. store.steampowered.com/app/1182310/...

NOZZO COSPLAY! ❤️

Addams Family Halloween. I may have used half a tube of gel to get my hair that flat.

I finished playing Unavowed. It's quite good, I really enjoyed the story. I'm not sure that Point & Click is for me, but I'm a sucker for stories and I really like urban-fantasy as a setting. It's on sale for a few more days. store.steampowered.com/app/336140/U...

Fia, a time traveller in an antique land: Hey, Noz, do you know anything about this set of legs in the desert? Nozzo: No idea. Did you check the archive? Fia: Oh hang on, there’s a plaque with a name…Ozymandias? I’ll look it up in the archive. Nozzo: Fia! Ugh…I despair. #oldskies

This one’s amazing! 👇

One for fans of @wadjeteyegames.bsky.social Excavation of Hobbs Barrow?
