Widower's Sky

Widower's Sky follows a father and son travelling through a mysterious land to find home after the loss of their wife and mother. They cross towering buildings and beautiful vistas using ancient portals they have found. The father fights wildlife and machines with his bow and a devastating dash attack, while keeping his son fed and rested.

Story and world

The story unfolds like chapters in a novel: you play through the future while listening to the past, until the two timelines converge at the climax. Narration reveals the story across the chapters, and living environments with docile and vicious wildlife point to an ancient history that was ahead of its time.

Explore and survive

The game mixes puzzles, platforming and survival. You can follow the path set before you or wander through varied landscapes, and encounter enemies ranging from machines to wildlife. A helpful dog accompanies the journey.

Soundtrack

The score is haunting and moving, and reacts to your progression.
