Clear Skye Thinking
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android
Alice Shah doesn’t want to go on holiday to Scotland, and she most definitely doesn’t want to go to grey, dreary Skye.
Alice has a love for elegant, classy clothes, and she spends hours on her appearance every morning. Alice considers herself a sophisticated, elegant lady, and she has no desire to go tramping through muddy fields to visit crumbling old castles.
Unfortunately for Alice, however, her dad is determined to spend their summer in Skye so he can meet up with a former friend, Ian Carter, and his family: his wife, the haughty Hilda, and their ginger spawn, the loud and boisterous Piper.
Alice hasn’t seen Piper since they were small children, and she has few memories of her. She doubts that she’ll be able to get on with anybody who lives on a teeny-tiny island full of sheep, but Alice is pleasantly surprised.
Piper isn’t as abrasive as her father, or as stuck-up as her mother. Piper is cheerful and laid-back, and she takes a liking to Alice almost at once.
A friendship begins to blossom between the two girls – but what will happen when Alice’s holiday ends and she has to go back to London?

Very cute and fun. Would love to have seen a slightly longer timespan for things to develop, maybe a bit more of an explored relationship between Piper and Hilda, what was there was gripping.
It may be one of my favorite two of your short ones, right next to "It Gets So Lonely Here," these two novels being totally different notwithstanding. I like the humor and the characters, and Skye makes for a really nice setting - now I feel like running my modern fantasy RPG there. Obviously enough, I'd love for it to have a sequel, maybe a bit longer though!
I am looking for games to do a co-op bundle with

Cute, lighthearted story with a bit of drama. Alice is a fun protagonist who loves to dress in lolita style. It felt nice to read about her visiting the landmarks of Skye, as well as about her blossoming friendship and romance with Piper. Both the scenery descriptions and the characters' dialogue are very well written. The artwork is beautiful and the setting is atmospheric.
Ian, Piper's dad, deserves a special mention. Lots of his lines made me smile.
Nicely done !
Thanks for this nice story.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Great stuff as per usual. I liked that you were able to incorporate all that interesting information about Skye naturally into a good story (such as by connecting people's feelings to it).
Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed it! <3
ooh this looks cool
