\nDarkened Skye is definitely a low budget game with some simple game mechanics. I like how the dialog makes fun of adventure gaming, but its not the most original or clever way of implementing it. Widescreen support doesn’t exist, so you have to run at 1280×960 and your Linux Desktop should resize to match and appear fullscsreen. Otherwise, set your Linux Desktop to 1280×960 before launching the game.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
