The Skyward Return

Theme: Endless and Rising

Kit was brought up on one of the mesmerising floating islands in the sky. The unique lifestyle and breathtaking surroundings shaped his worldview. Upon reaching his 18th birthday, a momentous occasion, Kit found himself receiving a set of extraordinary gifts from his father who dived to the ground 10 years ago.

Inscribed within the very essence of the sky-dwellers was an unwavering desire to explore the land below and perhaps even reconnect with their terrestrial roots. This aspiration was a common thread that united the people in the skies. Yet, as generations passed, none of those who had ventured downward had ever unearthed a viable path back to the sky.

Fuelled by an intense longing to reunite with his father, Kit nurtured an audacious dream of descending to the ground. The prospect was both exhilarating and daunting. In preparation for this extraordinary endeavour, Kit's mother took on the role of mentor, guiding him through a series of exhilarating sky adventures. These experiences were designed not only to strengthen Kit's physical abilities but also to instil in him the resilience and adaptability required for the trials that awaited him below.

It is strongly recommended that you use a handheld game controller to play this game for the best experience!
