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? 

The demo follows Siroka’s climb from The Driplands to the surface. A world that may not greet her with sunlight.

The game runs at super speed the higher your refresh rate is!

60hz seems to be the sweet spot.
