Hello adventurers! As a great philosopher once said, "a good game is late until it ships, but a rushed game is bad forever". Or something like that. So it goes with game development! But we've confirmed with our Japanese & Chinese localization partners (the latter of which is our Chinese publisher Doyoyo games) that September 17th is our v1.0 release date. For real. There's another saying that the first 80% of game development is the hard part, but the last 80% is the really hard part. When it comes to QA, polish, and localization, that is absolutely true, especially in a game as text-heavy as Flowstone Saga. We've been setting release date targets based on predictions of when launch-critical tasks would be done, such as localization QA, and then evaluating the progress as those dates approach. But as of today, the localization is COMPLETELY done and everything left is simply QA. Fixing text, fixing bugs, polish, game balance, that kind of stuff. Which means we can confidently set a specific date without any external factors involved, which once again is September 17th. 2024, of course. We have taken every minute of extended time to make the game as good as possible for v1.0, and naturally we have plans for post-launch as well :-) We've been working on Flowstone Saga since 2018 and we cannot wait to truly release it to the world. THANK YOU to everyone who has supported and wishlisted the game, played the demo, supported us on Kickstarter... it has been a hell of a ride but the end is really and truly in sight.

In the sleepy backwaters of Ocean's End, a young adventurer and her stalwart pet Sprig stumble on an ancient power hidden beneath long-forgotten ruins. With it, Mirai can harness the power to repair, build, and... fight.
A grand story will unfold: Mirai will use these new powers to help build her home of New Riverstone, face growing threats like the Scarlet Tusk Pirates, hunt for treasure across mountains, forests, temples, and ruins, and forge new friendships with people (and animals) across the world. Perhaps, the secrets of her past will finally be revealed as well...
Unique Battle System!
Battle monsters in a truly unique puzzle-based arena! Using the power of falling blocks, you can attack, defend, and trigger magic effects to thwart everything from lowly Beewis and Cookie Ferrets to Craggans and Giant Axolotls.
Flowstone Saga has real-time combat where you (and eventually, your party!) face off against up to 3 monsters at once. While monsters and your allies take turns attacking and using special abilities, the main character - Mirai - controls the flow of battle on the puzzle board.
By clearing lines, you'll deal damage to a monster with a regular attack. Clear multiple lines at once for much more powerful blows. But this is just the beginning!
You'll use Flow Crystals and Orbs that appear on the board to create combos, deal damage, heal, and defend yourself from deadly monsters, who can ruin your board (and your HP) with attacks like poison, fire breath, paralysis, sandstorms, and much more.
You'll also unlock Powers that allow you to infuse blocks with elemental magic like Fire, Ice, and Lightning, attack monsters directly, repair your board, and enhance combos. Combined with a passive Perk tree and even a Job System, tons of unique strategies are possible. This is unlike any RPG or puzzle game you've played!
With this system, you'll have to use your wits & tactics to create the best strategy for each encounter... and the battle scenario can change at any moment!
Town of New Riverstone
Befriend charming characters, helping them to build and expand the town of New Riverstone, learning their stories, and even buddying up for extra battle effects.
Exploration and Puzzle Solving
Explore the islands of Ocean's End, search for treasure, gather resources, solve ancient puzzles, and unravel mysteries across dozens of handcrafted maps and dungeons.
Throughout the world, you'll encounter mysterious structures that only Mirai can restore using her unique powers. These range from essential objects needed to progress through the game, like ladders or bridges, to optional structures that yield rewards such as gold & experience, to hidden areas requiring specific powers (with special bonuses to match!)
Deadly Enemies
Mirai and her friends have plenty of abilities and items, but monsters have their own powers! From swapping blocks to sapping life, removing tiles, tossing boulders, blinding effects, and paralysis, no two encounters are alike!
