About The Sky Left Us

A sci-fi visual novel about climate, class, and the relationships that shape our worldview.

From the deepest miasma to the shimmering veil, everything is in its place. The Peakborn rule, the Sunken toil, and the Unmoored trade. But Clear Skies Technology could rewrite the atmosphere, and with it the culture of planet Zé. It all depends on how you use it. Play as Spire Risan, an off-worlder scientist who becomes entangled in the drama of a mountain they came here to save. Fall in with the denizens of the three castes, and find that things are more complicated than they seem: be it love, family, or the systems that shape us.

Features

  • Six routes and one unlockable true route exploring Spire's relationships with the denizens of Zé.
  • A rich sci-fi world where the toxic atmosphere is intertwined with the culture and class system.
  • Beautiful art and an original synth-pop-trip-hop soundtrack.
  • 80,000 words of adventure, intrigue and relationships with difficult choices and deeply flawed characters.
  • Diverse characters and relationship types.

The Route Characters

  • THE SPYMASTER — A two-faced Peakborn noble trapped in a web of his own design.
  • THE PAINTER — An ambitious Unmoored artist, kept like a bauble by her Peakborn patrons.
  • THE WINDY KID — A quiet Unmoored child who has fallen in with pirates.
  • THE REVOLUTIONARY — A fiery Sunken leader who wants the peaks to burn.
  • THE DIVER — A Sunken fogdiver who explores the planet's depths.
  • THE PIRATES — Two Unmoored pirates who search for freedom through their crimes.
  • THE IDOL (True Route) — A Sunken Idol with a strange connection to the poisonous miasma.

Games like Dying Light, where nightfall changes the rules

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2, where one idea carries the whole game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.

Toxic Commando Game Pass: subscribe, or buy the key?

The Toxic Commando Game Pass add landed on 12 November. Our price record since late September shows the key route barely moved, which changes what a subscription is worth.

Games like Titanfall 2, for the pilot or for the Titan

Titanfall 2's campaign changed its own rules every mission. Games like Titanfall 2 that keep one part of it — the wall-running, the mech, or a campaign that never settles.

Games like It Takes Two, where the second player is the point

It Takes Two cannot be played alone, and that is the whole design. Games like It Takes Two that give each player a different job — including one that makes do with a single pair of hands.
