Old Skies was for sure one of my top gaming experiences this year. It's a point and click adventure game in the traditional style with modern sensibilities and a story that is alternatingly whimsical and existential. Absolutely lovely. store.steampowered.com/app/1346360/...

Old Skies made the Kotaku Top Games of 2025 list! kotaku.com/john-walkers...

Hey, you, here are my Top 10 Games of 2025! Featuring @jabbage.bsky.social, @housefiregames.com, @dave.powerhoof.com, @wadjeteyegames.bsky.social, and @badvikinggames.bsky.social, among others. kotaku.com/john-walkers...

1. Old Skies Profoundly beautiful meditation on time and identity with fun puzzles and laugh out loud jokes. Somehow manages to pull off a point and click level centered around 9/11 that not only avoids being awful and cringeworthy but is actually extremely moving and smartly done.

Old Skies made Polygon's "10 Best Adventures of 2025 list!" www.polygon.com/best-adventu...

It’s been such a strong year for adventure games! Old Skies and The Seance of Blake Manor both get a shout out on this list: www.polygon.com/best-adventu...

Nice Harrybut recognition from Gamespot.

I’m somehow in 3 of these games! Old Skies, Harold Halibut, and The Excavation of Hob’s Barrow! www.gamespot.com/gallery/game...

We are currently playing The Seance of Blake Manor on Mostly Walking and I am loving it. A unique take on adventure mechanics, recalling and refining The Last Express. Check it out for spooky folklore and the schedule-keeping. store.steampowered.com/app/1395520/...

In games, I tried to highlight some games that wouldn't get a lot of light otherwise, like Wadjet Eye's incredibly smart time travel adventure Old Skies. www.avclub.com/old-skies-re...

The accelerating rate of TV shows starring a blonde Hollywood actress giving a star turn as the leader of a mind-altering cult has to be a recession indicator, right?

I’m playing Clair Obscur finally and omg I bet it was so fun to be a voice for a gestral😍 and challenging! It makes me think of @sallybeaumont.bsky.social talking about the challenge of not being overly cute when voicing Weeoo in Harold Halibut, which I also really want to play still!

It's a lovely 6th Day of Christmas at my true love's house, and you are six horrible geese

Of course, I do Dad jokes. I'm a groan man!

Just a reminder that the best way you can help indies is to leave a review on Steam! The more reviews, the more the Almighty Algorithm pushes the game to other players. This is especially important during the seasonal sales. So with that said… store.steampowered.com/app/1346360/...

The Seance of Blake Manor featured: “A massive breakthrough hit, The Séance of Blake Manor is a 19th-century supernatural detective game in which you investigate the spooky disappearance of Evelyn Deane. Is it 2025’s The Case of the Golden Idol? Yeah, that sounds about right.”

Old Skies featured: “time-travelling agent, Fia Quinn, taking clients on “vacations” to points in the past, with its episodic story slowly weaving itself into a larger conspiracy. It’s superb stuff, now down 20 percent to $16.” kotaku.com/steam-sale-2...

The Seance of Blake Manor is number 16, and Old Skies gets an honourable mention! www.digitalspy.com/tech/g695316...

For anyone of a delicate disposition (like me) Bridget is fine, she came home, so you can just enjoy these wonderful paintings without worrying about a tragic ending!

THREAD. My parents' cat Bridget vanished. As the weeks dragged on they became ever more worried, so to distract himself my dad began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up at some of art & music's most important moments. I've collected his work here...

There's a certain kind of game where, once the dialogue and music show up? Suddenly the game has a soul. It's not just a toy you're playing with. Often the battles for control over the dialogue are actually battles for control over the soul of the game.

“The acting is excellent when it occurs; each person sounds unique, with strong personality and flavor coming through, along with a variety of dialects showing the wide range of guests the séance has attracted.” adventuregamehotspot.com/review/5725/...

"Draped in darkness and gothic Irish trappings, The Séance of Blake Manor makes the most of its eerie atmosphere and mysterious cast of characters in this detective's race against the clock with satisfyingly smart gameplay." - Thank you for 95% @aghotspot.bsky.social bit.ly/4alKCZJ

The Séance of Blake Manor has been nominated for Best Art Direction in the @thinkygames.com Awards!

"An interweaving web of sinister motivations, secrets, and sordid local history, The Seance of Blake Manor left me on the edge of my seat for days." - Thank you Checkpoint Gaming 👻🔮🖤

Old Skies ( @wadjeteyegames.bsky.social ) Not the first point and click game about time travel, probably not the last, but the best? Undoubtedly! store.steampowered.com/app/1346360/...

Old Skies is 20% off, too. This is probably one of my favourite games I played this year. A truly excellent adventure game with some stellar writing and voice acting. store.steampowered.com/app/1346360/...

This week’s Creative Bloq indie spotlight is Earth Must Die that’s a point-and-click adventure that looks like a Rick and Morty cartoon, while evil mastermind Dan Marshall compares himself to George Lucas www.creativebloq.com/3d/video-gam...

We're thrilled to be #4 on the Guardian's 20 Best Video Games of 2025. Huge congratulations to @blueprincegame.bsky.social for taking the #1 spot 👻🔮🖤

Thank you Shack News for nominating The Séance of Blake Manor for Best Puzzle Game and Best Narrative Game we're in such fantastic company! Also congratulations to @rawfury.bsky.social for being nominated for Best Publisher 🖤

Old Skies is one of First Hour’s top ten games of 2025!

Seventh is The Seance of Blake Manor from @spookydoorway.bsky.social, a truly awesome detective game that succeeds where Obra Dinn did before it

Sixth is Old Skies from @wadjeteyegames.bsky.social, I'm always seated for their next game and this one rocked so hard. Great voice acting from @sallybeaumont.bsky.social too (who also appears in another game on my list)

So many times I’ve dropped into streams of Old Skies and the (usually American) streamer will just…suddenly say “blast it” in a crisp RP accent, just to see how it feels! I do think when a character is distinctive, players want to try this stuff out!

Have you even really played Old Skies if you haven’t surreptitiously tried out saying “blast it!” with a British accent?

The Seance of Blake Manor is number 4 on the AV Club’s best games of 2025! www.avclub.com/best-games-2...

The Seance of Blake Manor made it into four lists for the AV Club’s best games of 2025! www.avclub.com/best-games-2...

Old Skies made it into William Hughes Top 10 list for the AV Club’s best games of 2025! www.avclub.com/best-games-2...

Looks like the BAFTA Breakthrough announcement and a few other things have tipped me over into 5000 followers! Hello, lovely new people- it’s going to get chaotic!

79. Old Skies When it comes to modern point and click adventures, Wadjet Eye Games is at the top of the list. They prove it once again with Old Skies, a time traveling adventure showcasing their ambition and creativity in the genre. store.steampowered.com/app/1346360/...

Have you even really played Old Skies if you haven’t surreptitiously tried out saying “blast it!” with a British accent?

Je sais pas si je vous avais assez saoulé avec Old Skies mais je crois que c'est l'occasion d'une deuxième vague. C'ÉTAIT TROP BIEN ! JOUEZ À OLD SKIES ! (Franchement : la perso principale est une agent de voyage dans le temps, rien que ça j'adore ! Et c'est tellement plus que ça ❤️‍🩹)

On chapter 5 of Old Skies now and BOY I don’t want it to end. Each chapter is full of twists and turns and it’s so beautifully written and voice acted. I swear I feel Fia’s frustrations EVERY SINGLE TIME. Great work from @sallybeaumont.bsky.social. There will be so many feelings once completed 😭

Going into 2026, a reminder for everyone who's fallen off the creative wagon, game dev, writing, art, music, whatever, no matter how long:
