Steam

Fading Skies takes you on a vibrant, story-driven journey, rekindling the charm of old school action-adventures. Every corner full of life, personality, secrets, and challenges that keep you moving forward.
Join Ryn on her quest to unravel an intricate web of mysteries surrounding the planet's collapse. On your search for answers, traverse a seamless world filled with mystical meadows, haunted mountains, serene forests and thundering canyons. Discover ominous ruins of a lost civilization, holding remnants of their ancient technology, as well as traces of your missing memories.


Your loyal cat-sized dragon sidekick isn't just adorable, but also your conduit to incredible power. By absorbing the dark energy from defeated foes, your partner grows ever stronger, unlocking magical abilities that allow you to reach new heights. His ancient lineage holds many secrets, and his role may yet prove pivotal to the fate of all.


New challenges await around every corner: Overcome strategic boss battles by using Ryn’s growing array of magical talents. Navigate tricky platforming sections with upgradable movement abilities. Find cheeky spirits throughout the world and pass their trials and puzzles.
Every test of skill is rewarded with new powers, crucial to making progress on your journey.


You awaken as Ryn, a young woman with no memory, thrust into a strange land. Accompanied by an enigmatic girl linked to your forgotten past, you attempt to forge a new life in a mysterious village. But just as peace seems within reach, old wounds reopen, and a hidden battle threatens to consume everything.
Fading Skies weaves a heartfelt, character-driven tale of self-discovery, human nature and a world facing collapse. Each revelation pulls you deeper into an emotional narrative, where healing what's broken is the key to both past and future. But can you truly trust those closest to you, or are they part of the looming catastrophe?
