About the Game




Build a Settlement in a race against time to light a beacon against the oncoming storm.


Chart a path through a range of procedurally generated islands, each posing their own unique challenges. Survival and success will come to those who are able to adapt to the challenges that lay before them!


Collect powerful Runes allowing you to break the rules and open up new playstyles and strategies, making each journey through skyward unique.


Your people use the knowledge you gain on each island to enable you to research new technologies and ways of improving your settlements, unlocking tons of new buildings.


Dare to take on omens for greater rewards in the future, but risking dangerous curses now!
