About

I want to be upfront with the community: the current version of Skye has faced technical issues, incomplete systems, and design challenges that have prevented it from fully delivering on its original vision.
Because of this, a full rework of Skye: The Misty Isle is currently underway under the name Skye: Rebirth. Skye: Rebirth is not a patch or minor update, but a ground-up reimagining of the game — rebuilding core systems, world structure, visuals, combat, and survival mechanics to fully realise that vision. This includes substantial changes to gameplay flow, progression, and overall quality, informed by everything we’ve learned during development so far.
If you already own Skye, you will not need to repurchase the game. When Skye: Rebirth is complete, it will replace the current version on Steam, and existing owners will automatically retain access.
This page represents the original foundation of the project, while Rebirth is its future.
We’ll be sharing development updates, features, and progress as Rebirth takes shape. Thank you for your patience, your feedback, and for standing with us as we reforge Skye into the experience it was always meant to be.

Game has been abandoned. Do not buy
I'd love to give a proper review but I keep getting a fatal error on start. I use GeForce Now. Look forward to this so dang much too. Hopefully fixed sooner than later. I'll fix my review once I can play
I like the game but it is frustrating. I have been "playing" it for a few hours and days but when it does not freeze the mouth, a wide dark horizontal line appears on the top part of the screen covering it, or items disappear (or appear) in the inventory, etc. It seems to have potential but at the moment buying something like this is getting ready for frustration and a complete waste of time.
Elements de base du jeu encore instables et capricieux. Injouable en l'état. Les éléments sont là mais ne sont pas assez débugués pour être fonctionnels, parfois totalement, Parfois de façon aléatoire. Ce n'est pas une version jouable, mais un brouillon de jeu pour l'instant. Il reste du travail pour devenir une version au moins jouable, même si dans ce contexte des bugs qui ne remettent pas en question la jouabilité, peuvent persister bien entendu. C'est un brouillon de jeu, il n'y a rien à dire d'autre. C'est à dire que le travail pour devenir un jeu, même buggé, et non pas seulement une succession d'images animées dont le fil d'animation est peu fointionnel et peu concordant, le travail restant donc est... très important. Déconseillé en l'état.
EDIT: Unfortunately the game has been officially abandoned because of internal issues within the studio which led to the studios closure. The developer has retained the rights to the game and working on a newer version, however, I don't recommend purchasing this game in it's current state.
Its a good attempt and I would love to see it as a completely finished product. But its not there yet. The graphics are mediocre and there is not much to do. But having the map based on the real map of Skye is pretty intriguing and I would really love to see it done and find out all the interesting places I lone on Skye. Perhaps even some ancient legends. I would give Neutral, but the option isnt there so Im giving positive to ballance out those neutral but negative reviews
This game is incredibly disappointing and a reason for not supporting Early Access games. Last update says it all: "First and foremost, I want to sincerely apologise for the lack of communication over the past few months. I understand it has been unfair to leave you without updates for so long. The truth is, that the future of the project has been in constant flux and filled with uncertainty." I was one of the first to pay for "pre-alpha" testing. I saw the screenshots, I saw the videos, I heard the promises. I thought, finally, "the game for me is finally being made." I typically don't support "Early Access" because it is abused 9 times out of 10. I don't support kickstarting or paying for pre-alpha because it usually never works out. But I gave this game a chance. It looked like one of the most beautiful games ever made to date. And, for what? We paid for pre-alpha testing. We thought this would give us a limited time to experience the game before everyone else. I signed on in August of 2022. I filled out my NDA and got my hands on a copy of the "game". I could only play about 30 minutes because, well, it was not playable. Game just kept crashing, ran at around 3-5 fps on my 2060. I wondered, "This isn't even the beginning of a game, what in the actual heck is this?" I then asked myself, "Where did all those screenshots and videos come from? This game looks absolutely nothing like what ANY of the footage looked like." It was comical how bad the game looked. Then in Februrary of 2023 I received an email thanking me for the love and support for the past 20 months of development - "Release day one". What happened btween August of 2022 and now? Nothing. The Discord has been completely dead. I paid money to support this developer and since August of 2022 I have received TWO emails. EVER. Then we hear this sob story about finding funding, his kids, whatever. When you take people's money to support you, maybe be a man and give some updates in Discord every once in a while. Fill us in. Don't go MIA and then post some random crybaby story about your life. You're basically a thief. I don't see the difference.
