Figure out what you need. What You Do Explore a remote Wyoming wilderness after the infrastructure you depended on is gone. Harvest the land and craft what you need, from cordage and tinder to traps, medicine, tools, and carried embers. Build fires from tinder, kindling, and fuel, using materials you gathered or made yourself. Hunt, trap, butcher, cook, and manage wildlife populations that respond to how heavily you use an area. Manage cold, hunger, thirst, fatigue, health, and psychological strain continuously. Find shelter, secure supplies, follow the story when you choose, and decide when moving on is worth the risk.

Content descriptors
Black Skies contains depictions of survival in a post-collapse environment. Players may encounter themes such as environmental danger, injury, death, and human remains as part of a realistic survival setting. Violence, when present, is situational and non-graphic, arising from accidents, environmental hazards, or survival scenarios rather than being the focus of gameplay. Serious themes are treated with care and gravity rather than shock value. The intent is to present survival stress, loss, and isolation in a grounded, respectful manner. The treatment of mature subject matter is reviewed to ensure it is handled thoughtfully and responsibly, rather than sensationalized. The game does not include sexual content, sexual violence, graphic gore, or glorification of self-harm, drug abuse, or criminal behavior.
