It’s been over seven years since Jenova Chen’s thatgamecompany released Journey, but game’s influence is still being felt today. This month, thatgamecompany is back with a new experience that builds on Journey’s core concept while doubling down on its compassionate social experience. Unexpectedly for what’s essentially an art game, it’s also free-to-play on iOS. Join us as we dig into this sometimes confusing, always beautiful game.

Currently, Sky is available on iOS for iPhone and iPad. It’s coming soon to Android and AppleTV, and versions for other platforms are in development. It is free to play with very optional in app purchases, and takes about 4-5 hours to complete.

The Short Game is supported directly by our listeners on Patreon! Supporters at any level get access to our Discord, where we discuss games, plan episodes, and talk about what we are playing in real time. You can also support us by writing a review on Apple Podcasts!
