Stonefly

About This Game

Discover the Unexpected World of Stonefly

Stonefly is an action-adventure RPG in which you pilot a tiny robot mech in a magical forest. Hop along rocks and leafy canopies while you upgrade your rig with an arsenal of air and wind abilities. Follow the journey of Annika Stonefly as she attempts to recover a stolen family heirloom, strategically battling bugs and critters across an epic story.

A New Way to Move

The mechs in Stonefly are unlike any machine you’ve piloted before. Flip what you know about games and spend most of your time gliding instead of walking. This allows you to traverse a variety of terrain and avoid the dangerous bugs that crawl around below you.

Harness the Wind

Invent abilities that empower you in unique king-of-the-hill style combat centered on using wind to push bugs out of the arena. Each bug has its own behavior and requires a different strategy to defeat. The more efficient you are at dealing with bugs, the faster you will gather precious minerals used to upgrade your mech.

Vibes & Visuals

Stonefly is set to a backdrop of beautiful colors and the techno-nature music of Natureboy Flako. Forge relationships with memorable characters from the Acorn Corps, a band of castaway mech pilots. Adventure through leafy autumn canopies, prickly briars, and misty marshes.

Reviews

“Like Studio Ghibli’s Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, Stonefly’s environment is as important as its characters — the push and pull between the two, the unnerving tension between humans and everything else around them. Stonefly’s hopeful respect of the natural world shines through, a showcase of an aspirational balance.”

“….Provides an intriguing premise that lends itself to strange and fantastical gameplay… Stonefly smartly lets the player control its tempo without lingering for too long, which appeals to all kinds of gamers.”

“Stonefly is a thoroughly unique game that has novel gameplay ideas and a wonderful story. Dancing around the world while piloting your mech, trying to find emotional catharsis for your heroine while also beating up some bugs so you can get more resources to upgrade your current ride is a heck of a gameplay loop. It’s well worth experiencing if you want a chill adventure.”
