“Who are you?”

“The Ghost of Christmas Future,” she said with a wry smile. “A future that won’t happen unless you listen very closely.”

The cover for Decoherence– Yellow police tape with the title is crossed in front of a scene with the silhouette of a truck with police lights on the top. The authors name, Liana Brooks, is at the top of the cover and the tag line, “Time itself is hard to beat…” is in the bottom right corner.

#WritingLifeMonthly #Day4 My WIP is a #TimeTravel adventure, so you might think there’s something in the alternate time that needs to be fixed. Nope. What drives this story is the MC was sent to the past accidentally, and the goal is to keep history intact.

Writing Life Monthly – 4 May prompt: Can you clearly state what drives the story?

Did you catch our latest story from Tony Dunnell? It’s a doozy as we peer into a one-sided conversation dealing with the return of a time traveler who brings a warning.

#WritersCoffeeClub 2: How much research does your setting require?

I'm trying to portray - as realistically as feasible - an alternate timeline that diverged in the Early Bronze Age. One major theme is the radical contingency of history.

So... a lifetime, really. I've had to synthesize almost all the odd collection of knowledge I've assembled, plus tons of research on a wide variety of subjects.

#TimeTravelAuthors 1: Tell us about your #TimeTravel story

One truth we forget constantly is that we knew time was curved before we learned space was, too. The cycles of time are older by far than our math to describe the gravitational curvature of space. Within these cycles exists my story, war with beginning and an end but no fixed duration. They continue until conditions for victory for one side or the other occur, and then the entire probability wave collapses, and history is written. Nothing is cast in stone until that moment. Jerodan exists to protect those moments. Time is the cage that will trap and defeat the Darkness.

#TimeTravelAuthors 1: Tell us about your #TimeTravel story

One aspect of SECONDARY is how dangerous even a *little* time travel can be. The story is a worst-case scenario.

Lots of stories assume time travel means you can unscramble an egg. And maybe you can! Unscrambling a *timeline* is somewhat more difficult.

That moment when you write a 16th Century style commedia dell'arte pastorale parody of "Back to the Future" inspired by the theme of Cleveland ConCoction last month and there happens to be a DeLorean at the convention and you happen to have brought the Arlecchino costume just in case....

#TimeTravelAuthors #Day29 Since in 2025 I'm resuming work on my #TimeTravel epic, I’m using the author’s choice to weigh in on my progress so far: I'm into my second chapter and conquered one of my biggest fears, which is how to I incorporate old content into my new direction. All told, 11332 words.

@draftexcluder
Benjamin Franklin seemed to be thinking along similar lines when he set up a very clever proof that no electrical engineer ever has/will built/build a time machine.

explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php

#physics #electrical #electricity #engineering #time #timetravel #benjaminFranklin

comic, the invention of a time machine was commissioned with the intent of preventing a robot apocalypse like in Terminator movies, a recurring theme on xkcd. However, the Cueball that built and used the machine is an electrical engineer with misplaced priorities, believing that reversing Franklin's "mistake" takes precedence over eliminating a more immediate threat to the human race.

Cueball tells Franklin that the charge left on a glass rod by rubbing it with silk should be the negative charge, not the positive charge, because the friction removes charge-carrying electrons from the rod. This would not have been intuitive to Franklin, because the electron had not as of yet been discovered.

Old Skies Review: A Unique Sci-Fi Visual Novel

Disclaimer

I was sent a copy of Old Skies to review for my blog. While I am very grateful for the opportunity, I won’t let it sway my opinions. This will be my honest review.

Shameless Self-Promotions

If you’re looking for a way to upgrade your aesthetic, check out my latest reviews for the Epomaker TH85, Epomaker HE68 Mag or the KiiBoom Moonshadow V2. Check out my latest review of the Fifine M9 Microphone System. I’ve also started a web novel that I update every two weeks.

What is Old Skies?

Old Skies is a scifi visual novel out now on PC via Steam, GOG and Humble.

Time travel is real, and is controlled by the ChronoZen agency. Those who can afford it can travel back into any time, provided it doesn’t mess with the master timeline. Your job is to keep close watch on these travelers while still making them happy. The story follows seven travelers across 100s of years of history in a point and click adventure you will never forget. What people will you meet? What stories will they tell? Can you keep your clients from messing with the timeline?

Review

Old Skies is a wonderful piece of interactive fiction that you need to try at least once. The game looks very good with cool art and flavorful time periods. The story itself is good, with a cast of fantastic voice actors to bring each story to life. Most importantly, the puzzles are creative and manageable. They provide enough of a challenge to keep things engaging, without becoming frustrating. I didn’t feel the need to use a guide, but I am sure there are some great ones out there if you need them.

As far as time travel stories go, Old Skies does the narrative well. Everything made sense, even the more magical parts of science, and it was an interesting adventure to read. The characters are pretty well written. There are some cliches here and there, but nothing that ruins the story. Each story was interesting, and honestly the reason I kept playing. It is a solid length and I recommend it to anyone looking for a new visual novel.

As for the Steam Deck experience, this is a fantastic title to add to the collection. The resolution is perfect. The words are legible, and everything is easily visible. Most importantly, the controls works great, making this the perfect game to play in bed when you just want to wind down and enjoy a good story.

You can pick up Old Skies for $19.99, and it is definitely worth it for that price.
