Wow, how did I miss that there was a new Wadjet Eye game in the works. Looks great.

Interesting that they abandoned their old art style. Are they still using AGS?

Yes, it's still AGS.

Wadjet Eye may be a one trick pony, but to be fair, it is a really good trick.

I just got an email at 7:38am telling me that Old Skies had been released from my "notify me" click, fortunately I was able to travel back in time and bought this 17 hours ago.

I haven't played a Wadjet Eye game yet that I didn't like, whether as a publisher or developer.

My favorites are Technobabylon, Primordia, and Resonance

I've just finished the second chapter and here are some things I noticed that might help making a decission if the game is for you or not.

- The game is really dialogue heavy but the dialogues are mostly always short enough to not find them annoying. You don't have to wait for several minutes until you finally can make a choice.
- Speaking of choices: the game offers a lot of them and lots of these choices are dialogue based and might help you getting clues to some puzzles or information you might need.
- The game is absolutely not focused on combining items. It has such item puzzles but they are not the focus. So if you don't like to mess around with countless items - trying each one with everything ... you probably won't have this problem here.
- The game knows that it is supposed to be about time travel and it really uses this a lot when it comes to solving puzzles - so the time travel is not just a nice gimmick to offer a special backdrop - it's the actual gameplay and the focus of the game.
- Not surprising ... but still amazing: There's not a single character (so far) for which I disliked the chosen voice over actor. It feels as if the voices chosen are exactly those voices that needed to be here. Every single line sounds great. I did not skip any line because listen to the state of the art voice over is a true pleasure alone.

Why does the Standard Edition cost more than the Deluxe Edition?

It's 17.59 € and 19.79 €, respectively. It seems in your case, regional pricing was set improperly.

Hello Ice_Mage!

I think what laser_eyes means is the odd regional pricing.

Here, in Brazil, the prices of the game itself and its deluxe edition seems to be confused, as well. For whatever reason the regular edition costs the equivalent of about 24,34 USD (21,90 USD with launch discount), while the deluxe edition only costs 14,31 USD (12,87 USD with launch discount)!

(Compare the attached screenshots.)

I would not mind purchasing the edition richer in content for less, but I doubt that it is how it is supposed to work.

Kind regards,
foxgog

Those are all pros and no cons :)
That would tipped me towards buying it, if I haven´t bough it already :)
