Skye Tales immerses players in a world of wonder and whimsy. Explore the four diverse valleys of Brinn, where every corner is bursting with vibrant colours, delightful sounds and charming characters. It's a place where players feel truly welcome.
With its gentle puzzles and playful exploration, Skye Tales invites players to slow down and savour the magic of its world, offering a respite from the stresses of everyday life.
Visitors to Brinn are encouraged to take their time and enjoy the island’s many distractions, including the rainbow of magical instruments and scores of tactile toys to play with. There’s also the opportunity to unlock and collect plenty of fabulous outfit choices for Skye along the way.
In Skye Tales, Puny Astronaut has created an experience that is comforting, nurturing and playful with a key aspect of accessibility. Skye Tales gradually introduces its manageable set of controls, never overburdening the player with complex combo requirements. Gameplay is colour-blind friendly and features visual filters to accommodate those with various visual information-processing requirements, as well as full control over the game’s music and sound effects. Skye Tales also includes multiple control modes for those with different motor-control requirements.
Puny Astronaut Managing Director Cian Roche, shared: “At Puny Astronaut we believe that games should be approachable for as wide an audience as possible; from people who may have never played games before, to those with different gameplay needs. We designed Skye Tales to be an alternative to the many demanding and draining gameplay experiences already available. There is no wrong way to play Skye Tales - it’s just happy you stopped by. If you want to spend your time simply dashing through dandelions or splashing in the sea, you’re welcome to do so!”
Skye Tales is a haven for players seeking a relaxing, stress-free experience. With its charming world, delightful characters, and gentle puzzles, it's a perfect escape for those who want to take a break from their busy lives.
Skye Tales is now available to purchase with a limited-time launch discount on Steam, the Epic Game Store, and the PlayStation Store, having already been released on Nintendo Switch in May.
