Old Skies
It’s been seven years since Wadjet Eye released Unavowed, its adventure-meets-RPG masterpiece. How to follow it up? Well, it turns out, by making a completely traditional point-and-click adventure, but really, really well. This time-traveling escapade is made up of seven chapters, each their own contained story, but with an ever-clearer arc focusing on the consequences of a future in which people are allowed to endlessly change the past. Combine this with hand-drawn bespoke animations and a brilliant voice cast, and you’ve got an adventure game classic. It’s smart, funny, often moving, and at 15 splendid hours long, such an engrossing treat. — John Walker
