What is “It came from… The Skies!!!”?

Welcome to “It came from… The Skies!!!”, a thrilling megagame where you take on the roles of Earth's leaders during a moment of unprecedented crisis. As the Head of State, Military Commander, Foreign Minister, and Chief Science Officer, you find yourselves facing an extraterrestrial threat that has descended upon the planet with an incomprehensible technological advantage.

Players will be dealing with international and domestic issues whilst juggling with the unknown ramifications of alien visitors from from the Stars. Meanwhile, another group of players take the role of the mysterious Aliens who have their own agendas on Earth.

It came from… The Skies!!! is a new, custom-made game for the Dukes of Highland. We’ve designed it from the ground up to allow us to bolt on new threats which drive the story. This version is our love letter to the popular game Watch the Skies (a version of which we ran back in 2022).
