![]() While clean water is scarce, dirty water is plentiful and can also be collected in plastic bottles for later use. The tasty-looking sunfruit, for example, don’t fill up much of the food meter so eating a bunch seems like a good idea, right up until the sunlight becomes painful. You need to be careful, though, because diseases are everywhere and it’s easy to catch something unpleasant. Datapads give out bits of lore, rare batteries can be used to power machinery and new tech schematics let you upgrade the airship into a flying home. Metal and synthetics (plastic, basically) waste is lying around ready to be recycled into new forms, while useful materials such as clean water and edible food are more scarce. The beautifully-detailed environment is a wreck, but it’s holding together thanks to the last remaining shreds of steel, concrete and glass. The first part takes place on the intro skyscraper, starting with the crash-landing and setting up the story. The demo of Forever Skies is divided into two parts, the first of which lets you explore and fabricate to your heart’s content while the second starts a clock that counts down towards the demo’s conclusion. The scientists are long dead, possibly killed by one of their own who went insane, but whatever happened is less important at the moment than immediate survival. With no supplies or support it’s going to take some quick scavenging to stay healthy, but the research base provides basics, and luckily enough, a fabricator plus the bones of an unfinished airship. Almost immediately things go wrong, but a hard landing is still a decent one seeing as he can walk away from it. A lone explorer has been sent to investigate a signal from the research team that had made its base on the top floors of a derelict skyscraper. There are terrible things in the mist, but it’s relatively safe above it, floating through the world and scavenging supplies from the ruined buildings still accessible in the sky.įorever Skies is an adventure survival game on the remains of a ruined Earth, with the hope that maybe it won’t have to be ruined forever. The problem is when the “small part” is the remains of a skyscraper and the “much bigger whole” is a green miasma covering the entire planet, making it impossible to set down below a few hundred feet. All the detritus of the land is obscured as the perspective changes and what had seemed huge is now revealed as just a small part of a much bigger whole. The world is a lovely place when viewed from the skies.
