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.

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

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.

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.

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
Sometimes protagonists aren't able to fix the world. Sometimes they're not even able to see the problems with it. Sometimes they're just trying to survive. Sometimes they're even part of the problem.
The writer isn't the society and the writer isn't the protagonist.

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.

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

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!
