''Earth and Sky'' is a trilogy of InteractiveFiction games about a brother and sister, Austin and Emily Colborn, searching for their missing scientist parents with the assistance of superpower-granting suits their parents created just before they disappeared. The earthsuit gives Austin super-strength, damage resistance, and the ability to leap great distances; the skysuit gives Emily the power of flight and the ability to generate fog and lightning.
In part one, "Earth and Sky", Emily and Austin discover the suits, which come in handy when one of their parents' colleagues unwittingly unleashes a prehistoric menace. Emily is the player character.
In part two, "Another Earth, Another Sky", Emily and Austin follow a new lead to their parents' disappearance, and discover a portal leading to another world. Austin is the player character.
In part three, "Luminous Horizon", Emily and Austin enter the BigBad's hidden lair to rescue their parents. This episode is a TeamworkPuzzleGame in which the player can switch at will between Emily and Austin.
"Another Earth, Another Sky" and "Luminous Horizon" won 1st Prize in their respective years at the Interactive Fiction Competition; the original "Earth and Sky" placed in the top ten in its year, but not high enough to win a prize. "Another Earth, Another Sky" won Best Use of Medium in the 2002 Xyzzy Awards.
!!This series provides examples of:
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler:Scott and Claire in "Luminous Horizon".]]
* CatFolk: [[spoiler:The BigBad is a member of a catlike alien species.]]
* ClothesMakeTheSuperman: The suits.
* ElementalPowers[=/=]FourElementEnsemble: Austin is earth and Emily is air; "Luminous Horizon" adds [[spoiler:their parents, Scott and Claire,]] as fire and water respectively.
* {{Flight}}: One of Emily's powers.
* InASingleBound: One of Austin's powers. In "Another Earth, Another Sky", he circumnavigates a planet in four leaps -- admittedly it's quite a small planet, but that's still impressive.
* MakingASplash: The watersuit in "Luminous Horizon".
* PlayingWithFire: The firesuit in "Luminous Horizon".
* ShockAndAwe: One of Emily's powers is a directed lightning attack.
* SuperStrength: One of Austin's powers.
* SuperToughness: One of Austin's powers.
* TeamworkPuzzleGame: "Luminous Horizon" introduces the ability to switch between characters, and most of the puzzles take advantage of it.
* WrittenSoundEffect: Appear at appropriate intervals for that comic book flavour, and become more visually impressive over the course of the series as the game engine becomes more sophisticated.
