Skyless Chapter 1
A downloadable game for Windows
Can monsters ever be free beneath a sky that hates them?

In Skyless, you don’t play the hero, you play the hunted.
Creatures have been driven underground, labeled as monsters and slaughtered by adventurers chasing gold. The world above shines bright, but below lies The Driplands. A decaying refuge for those who survived humanity’s cruelty.

You play as Siroka, a Virelai. A wind magic user with blue grey skin and a dark past. Forced to hide beneath the earth, Siroka now fights back against the same adventurers who see her kind as nothing more than an XP farm.
Her story begins in a crowded underground bar called Scarburrow’s, where rumors spread of missing creatures and impending doom. Talk to the outcasts and decide what kind of person you’ll become. Will you spare your enemies or give them the same mercy they gave your kind?
This chapter follows Siroka’s climb from The Driplands to the surface. A world that may not greet her with sunlight.

I played the previous version of the demo a little while back and enjoyed it. Looking forward to seeing the final game. How many chapters are you planning?
Thank you! I really appreciate that! I'm planning on 3-4 chapters. There's a lot I want to say with this game.
I absolutely loved Chapter 1. I had so much fun playing the story and the puzzles were fun. I had trouble with the ice puzzle but I figured it out. LOL. And the Music is sooooo good. Keep doing what you're doing man. I can't wait to play chapter 2. :
Thank you Crono! I'm happy you enjoyed the game. Comments like these keep me going! Look forward to chapter 2!
Played It On Stream, 9/10 Great Character design, Great Music, Great Graphics, Great Story Writing, Great Combat System. Cant Wait For More Updates.🙏
Thank you so much for taking the time to stream the game and leave this thoughtful review! I really appreciate it. This motivates me to keep going!
Looks cool and fun, could you maybe add a mac version, I only have a mac not windows. If you do tell me and I'll play right away!
Thank you! I haven't tried making a Mac version, but if I get it to work, I'll let you know!
Sure, and btw, if your using unity on windows the mac has to run a console command to make the app playable, I'm not sure about linux and other os but its always pretty hard to make a mac build, I can share that console command if you want.
Hey! So I finished the first chapter of the game and also made a browser version. I'm using RPG Maker MV, so it lets me do quite a bit. Let me know if this works for you instead? I don't have a Mac to test things out, so hopefully this will suffice: https://reviveayo.itch.io/skyless-browser-version
i love the gameplay and art for this game. I can't wait for the rest of the story and the soundtrack
Thank you! I'll do my best to finish Skyless!
Loved it. Maps that reward exploration, great writing & music, a ton of nice details. Looking forward to more!
Thanks for taking the time to leave such kind words! SO much more to come. I can't wait to release the full game some day!
