Skyland's Star is a text adventure game in the spirit of the classic Zork series. You take on the role of a scientist recruited to time-travel into Earth's future. Present day Earth is in desperate trouble. The rapid population growth and ever increasing need for energy has all but depleted the world's fossil fuels, and thus far science has been unable to fully replace them with a safe alternative. You must time-travel into the future to find out how (and if) the citizens of the future Earth handled the problem, and then return to the present, so that the present day may put that knowledge to use.
