Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Skye's Repose is entering Early Access so I can build the game alongside my players. Feedback is especially important for a solo developer like me who only has the one perspective, and Early Access allows me to continue expanding the game without locking myself away, and it lets me get a clearer understanding of what the players value most.

Skye's Repose will continue development regardless of what happens, I have a vision I can't give up now, but support during Early Access helps me move faster, and with more confidence, toward something that everyone will enjoy.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I expect this Early Access to last 1-2 years.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“My goal is that the full version of Skye's Repose will include more areas to explore, resources to collect, riddles to solve, and a completed story that wraps up each character's personal story arcs, as well as an overarching story with a true ending to uncover.

Throughout Early Access, I plan to release updates that add new content to the game such as more islands, puzzles, features, and characters.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Skye's Repose launches into Early Access with a large world to explore, an introduction to a couple characters, and the mystery behind the Islands of Skye established.
There are 3 fully functional islands (Each with several unique materials, farmable crops, upgrades, and puzzles to explore) out of a planned nine currently in development. There are numerous upgrades available, making use of various materials gathered from across the land and elementals you find and combine.

For more detail, see the About This section.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The price of the game will increase after Early Access.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“I plan to have periodic updates, letting players try the newest version of the game as I go.
They can provide feedback through the form linked in the game, or by joining the Discord and taking part in the discussion. I will be gauging feedback on every update, and frequently polling the community on what they'd like to see in the next update.”

About This Game

Welcome to the Garden of Skye

You awaken in a strange new world with no memory of who you are.  Discover the secrets of the Garden of Skye, a mysterious realm of islands in the clouds covered in ruins of the past.  Taking inspiration from Stardew Valley and Myst, this game revolves around exploration, puzzle solving, and making connections with the mages who are lonely and hurting at home.

Current Features:

  • Two mages to befriend

  • Three unique areas to explore

  • Numerous upgrades to unlock

  • Tons of unique crops to farm

  • A myriad of elemental combinations to discover

  • Countless puzzles and riddles to discover

  • Lots of synonyms for Many

The game is still in Early Access, so at present only two of six mages and three of nine areas are accessible to explore, with more coming as development continues.

Befriend the Mages who found a way home long ago, and get their help finding your own way through this confusing world.

But friendship isn't always easy. Everyone has struggles and needs help sometimes. But what can you do while you're stuck a world away...?

Explore the quiet Garden forgotten by time. Discover the stories left behind in each unique environment, and gather the strange new materials each land provides.

Rainbow deserts, a darkened forest, an empty city, volcanic caves; there's lots to find in the Garden.

Repair the ruin of the Garden of Skye, and fix the structures left by the Mages mere years ago in your quest to find a way out of this realm.

In this game, every step of progress leaves a visible mark, letting you see the impact you're making in this world.

Farm with the help of elemental magic! Water large swaths of land, burn away misplaced crops, or infuse life into slower crops!

Each area has multiple unique mystical plants to farm, and later you'll discover other ways to create and farm new seeds.

Combine elementals into new and unique aspects, and use them to farm or charge ancient mechanisms. Or store them in the elemental pools scattered around the Garden.

Elementals serve double duty, acting as a currency when stored in the elemental pools, and acting as a catalyst for a variety of effects around the world.

There's always another secret to uncover within the Garden of Skye.

Open the Gate, and bring hope to the lonely and hurting.
