About the story

Sent to an island far from home in the flying city of Gideon, Shane must pass the trials and return as an Engineer or face banishment. Connected via radio, Shane and fellow trainee engineer, Erin strike up an illicit friendship. A friendship that will change the way Shane sees the world. The Trials are the ultimate test that every Engineer must take before taking the honored role. For Shane, the trials are his destiny, but destiny and desire rarely align and, in a world, divided between honored engineers and reviled artists, Shane finds himself torn. The trials, events in Gideon, and an unlikely romance tell the bittersweet story of love, ambition, and a society on the brink of something new.

Over a series of beautiful serene views and generally casual puzzles, Hazel Sky sets forth a young engineer’s introspective road to finding his true wish buried amongst his duties and desires. Despite the context of an engineer’s Trials, you will actually not learn much about what it means to be an engineer or even about the seemingly vast world of Gideon. The action tasks could get tiring to complete due to the constant need to hold the grip button in most cases too. Still, there is fun to be had sprinting across the open lands, swinging from the ropes, strumming the guitar strings, and singing along to the songs.

This game is terrible in every way. Whether we're talking major aspects of the game or simply minor little details, everything about it is awful.

“Hazel Sky” tries a bit too hard to create a more involved narrative that becomes more convoluted than it should be. Still, its main beats are heartwarming and lovely. One of those rare games where you sit and stare what you experienced for some good hours.

With a very competent level design, Hazel Sky offers a pleasant environment to explore and well-planned puzzles, combined with a well-conducted narrative that will make the player reflect on the game's universe. Despite the lack of punctual polish in mechanics and voice acting, the engaging story, the beautiful settings and the interaction of the characters make this short adventure an interesting experience.

In general, the exquisite island and level design of Hazel Sky can bring players a sense of achievement in constantly solving puzzles, and the process of exploring on a desert island is also pleasant, but the positive feedback provided by the game to the player after solving the problem is somewhat thin, and the fragmented narrative technique does not respond to the player's expectations in the plot, which is a pity.
