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.

The Sky Left Us is a sci-fi visual novel about climate change, classism, and how relationships shape our politics. 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: from love, family, to the systems that shape us. 

Our Kickstarter is live and we also have a short demo (10-15 min) that gives you a taste of the art, storytelling, and music.

Development Progress

We have a short demo with all art assets, animation, and music. If we fund our kickstarter, our estimated game release date is July 2022. We will be releasing the game all at once. The base game has around 63,000 words and 10+ endings, but we have stretch goals for two additional routes we're really hoping to put into the game!
