About the Game

Welcome to the Garden of Skye

You awaken in a strange new world with no memory of who you are.  Discover the secrets of the Garden of Skye, a mysterious realm of islands in the clouds covered in ruins of the past.  Taking inspiration from Stardew Valley and Myst, this game revolves around exploration, puzzle solving, and making connections with the mages who are lonely and hurting at home.

Current Features:

  • Two mages to befriend

  • Three unique areas to explore

  • Numerous upgrades to unlock

  • Tons of unique crops to farm

  • A myriad of elemental combinations to discover

  • Countless puzzles and riddles to discover

  • Lots of synonyms for Many

The game is still in Early Access, so at present only two of six mages and three of nine areas are accessible to explore, with more coming as development continues.

Befriend the Mages who found a way home long ago, and get their help finding your own way through this confusing world.

But friendship isn't always easy. Everyone has struggles and needs help sometimes. But what can you do while you're stuck a world away...?

Explore the quiet Garden forgotten by time. Discover the stories left behind in each unique environment, and gather the strange new materials each land provides.

Rainbow deserts, a darkened forest, an empty city, volcanic caves; there's lots to find in the Garden.

Repair the ruin of the Garden of Skye, and fix the structures left by the Mages mere years ago in your quest to find a way out of this realm.

In this game, every step of progress leaves a visible mark, letting you see the impact you're making in this world.

Farm with the help of elemental magic! Water large swaths of land, burn away misplaced crops, or infuse life into slower crops!

Each area has multiple unique mystical plants to farm, and later you'll discover other ways to create and farm new seeds.

Combine elementals into new and unique aspects, and use them to farm or charge ancient mechanisms. Or store them in the elemental pools scattered around the Garden.

Elementals serve double duty, acting as a currency when stored in the elemental pools, and acting as a catalyst for a variety of effects around the world.

There's always another secret to uncover within the Garden of Skye.

Open the Gate, and bring hope to the lonely and hurting.
