A serious game to help young graduates find employment

Designed for APEC (French association for executive employment), Skynesis is a narrative mobile game that offers young graduates an immersive experience to help them find their first job.

In an original universe combining futurism and solar punk, players take on the role of a character searching for the legendary celestial city of Skynesis. To reach it, they must cross a series of archipelagos, build their crew, overcome challenges, and above all learn to showcase their skills, mobilize their network, and prepare for interviews.

Designed as a real skills development program, Skynesis combines accessible game mechanics (exploration, mini-games, quizzes) with simulated job interviews. At each stage, players unlock a set of practical resources provided by APEC: workshops, advice sheets, interactive simulators, and editorial content.

Completely free, with no advertising or in-app purchases, Skynesis was developed to enable young graduates to progress at their own pace in a stimulating, fun, and supportive environment.

Ikoï Studio handled the game’s conception, art direction, game design, and development in close collaboration with the APEC teams.

The narration and illustrations are by Makma.
