Read full description

Forgotten Skies is an interactive audio RPG. You listen, you choose, and the world remembers. You are the SkyCaptain of a stolen skyship. Recruit a crew of misfits, keep them alive, and hold your course through a world of floating islands, skypirates and empires that want you grounded. It plays in your ears, not on your screen. Put the phone in your pocket, keep your headphones in, and take the world with you — on the commute, on a walk, over the washing-up. WHAT YOU DO • Explore an open world — Not one storyline. Deep lore, many places to go, new content added continuously. • Build your crew — Find them, recruit them, care for them. They have opinions about what you decide. • Run your skyship — Manage and upgrade what she can do, and choose what she becomes. • Make choices that stick — What you decide is remembered, session after session. • Face skypirates and empires — Defy them, outrun them, or build the resistance against them. A WORLD THAT KEEPS GROWING Forgotten Skies is a NarraWorld: a persistent imaginary world rather than a finished, closed story. New Quests, characters and regions arrive regularly, and a community of players, creators and contributors shapes what gets built next. MADE FOR EARS Every scene is written for audio and performed as audio. No cutscenes to watch, no map to stare at — just narration, characters, and a world you hold in your head. Forgotten Skies is a Persistent Interactive NarraWorld created by Robyn Pacetti, powered by Protagonists! — a community of creators, contributors and explorers building shared imaginary worlds together.
