Where it came from
Forbidden Sky was released in 2018 as the third entry in the cooperative survival series designed by Matt Leacock, following the success of Forbidden Island and Forbidden Desert. Developed in collaboration with publisher Gamewright, the game was designed to capture the tension of an airborne mission where players must connect physical electrical components to complete a circuit. This mechanical shift from simple tile movement to the integration of a functional battery-powered launch pad marked a significant evolution in the series' tactile design.
The game's visual identity was crafted by illustrator C. B. Canga, who maintained the pulp-adventure aesthetic established in the previous titles. By centering the experience around the construction of a physical circuit board that sparks upon completion, the design aimed to heighten player cooperation through a shared, tangible goal. While it received praise for its unique engineering and challenging difficulty curve, some critics noted that the specialized electronic components introduced a different set of logistical concerns compared to the purely cardboard nature of its predecessors.
