Something strange is happening around the world. Mysterious phenomena are appearing, nations are under pressure, and nobody knows what is really going on.

In Watch the Skies 2040, you will take on the role of a national leader, making decisions in a world facing an unprecedented crisis — while also dealing with rival nations, political pressures and global disasters.

Will you investigate the unexplained? Cooperate with other countries? Exploit the chaos? Prepare for invasion? Or decide that humanity itself is the greatest threat?

Expect negotiation, diplomacy, crisis management, difficult decisions and unexpected consequences. Extreme weather, famine, disease, disasters and conflict will all compete for your attention as you try to keep your country stable.

There are no easy answers. Every decision has consequences — and you never know what might happen next.

The truth is out there.
What will you do when the skies open?
