Isles of Sea and Sky is a 2024 puzzle video game. The player explores a series of islands and is presented with block-pushing puzzles in the style of Sokoban. The game is nonlinear and open world: the player can explore the world and approach puzzles in an open-ended order, and puzzles are not necessarily solvable when the player first encounters them, requiring abilities and tools unlocked later. Developed by three-person indie studio Cicada Games and published by Gamera Games, the game was first funded via Kickstarter in 2020 before being released for Windows in May 2024.
