Under Two Skies

By Visarut Sankham

Plan for shifting cultivation, controlling fire according to wind direction, and extinguishing heat in time for satellite monitoring in a hypothetical village, while organizing supplies before the next farming season.

Under Two Skies is a single-player survival strategy game about the shifting cultivation of a fictional village in the northern highlands. Players must prepare fields, manage fires, and extinguish residual heat before satellite inspections in the evening, with gameplay time running from 14:00 to 20:00 game time.

Before lighting the fire, check wind direction, clear firebreaks, and position team members. An image from the website shows a forest fire with a warning that strong winds can cause flames to jump over firebreaks. The toolbar below includes fire, a machete, and water for handling each stage of the work.

Prepare supplies for the next plot.

The side of the stove allows you to inspect rice in the granary, select food quantities, and trade rice for sharpening a machete or changing a water hose. The next plot's data indicates plant conditions, wind, and detection conditions. Players can also choose to assist other households to receive help the following day.

The creators began with issues encountered while reporting on haze and the livelihoods of people in highland areas. The game thus ties rice field preparation to village supplies, while the enforcement of regulations and satellite monitoring systems are fictionalized as game rules.
