The story depicts planet Earth ravaged by an ecological disaster, sending clouds of toxic dust into the sky. One remnant of civilization survived, now in search of a cure to a mysterious illness threatening their space station. Players assume the role of a scientist sent back to the planet's surface, challenged with upgrading and customizing a mobile high-tech airship to scavenge resources.
"Lone Scientist" by Dead Island composer Paweł Błaszczak is streaming on the developer's YouTube channel. Forever Skies is currently available in Early Access for Windows through Steam. The 1.0 build will launch via Steam on April 14th.
The composer commented, via the Steam store page:
"Since Forever Skies is a game about isolation, apocalypse and mankind’s downfall and the need to start building again there were a few that got me into this mood. Films like - The Martian, Annihilation, Prospect and The Book of Eli and shows such as Dark or even certain episodes of Love, Death + Robots."
From the product page:
Hundreds of years have passed since tragedy struck and the planet has been covered in a colossal layer of toxic dust ever since. From an upgradeable and customisable high-tech airship base, you must brave this hostile world.Steam - Forever Skies Music Preview
