Hi! In this thread we'll be happy to answer any questions about the game.

[Officer Nice]

Any plans for a Linux version? :)

Yes. We're planning to release it a bit later after the main release. Probably a month later.

1. How is this game related to the previous Skyhill? A sequel? Prequel? Reboot?

2. Could you narrow the release date a bit? Is the game going to launch in Summer 2019? Fall 2019? Or maybe 2020 is more probable? :)

Hi!
1. It's not a straight sequel. But Black Mist is connected with SKYHILL in story and happening in the same universe. SKYHILL: Black Mist has crafting mechanics, skills system too, but it's really another game with real-time stealth action, traps, stronger storyline and non-linear exploration of the huge condominium. Quick answer: "You don't have to play original SKYHILL to start SKYHILL: Black Mist, but if you did you can find some deep secrets"

2. It's currently scheduled for Fall 2019. Please stay tuned for the upcoming announcements and gameplay reveals

Привет, Жень. Добавил в вишлист.
Не очень понял - она пошаговая? или Реал-тайм?

The question was: "Is it a turn-based or realtime game"
It's a realtime stealth action :)
P.S: We have another forum for RU players: https://steamcommunity.com/app/990360/discussions/1/

Ow I actually remember the story of the kidnapped daughter. So I guess it was actually about this employee's daughter then. Or at least so it would seem. This game does look more mechanically and story driven then the first game, so Im looking forward to play it at some point.

The game will be released on as much platforms as possible. Nothing about exclusivity! Currently Steam and GOG confirmed for PC, plus all 3 consoles

Sure. Steam just changed it's politics about trading cards when opened Steam Direct and lot of fake games came to the platform. Usually Steam checks that it's a real game and has an audience and automatically turn on the feature. Probably in 1-2 days after release I think.

I liked the turn-based gameplay of the original Skyhill. What factored into turning Skyhill BM into real-time action?

You should consider it not as a sequel to the original game. The concept of SKYHILL was cool in it's simplicity. We didn't want to make another one but with complex mechanics. Black Mist is a real-time action game, yes, but it's still ask players to make a lot of tactical decisions and use stealth a lot. To be successful in BM you don't need to use action skill a lot. It's more about... "what should I do at this moment".
