A tactical roguelike where you throw flares to briefly pierce the darkness, draw a path in pitch black, and race dripping lava following you through the volcanic tunnels. Plan fast, dig deep, and descend to the safe place before the lava swallows everything.

Segera Hadir di Akses Dini

Pengembang game ini bermaksud untuk merilis karya yang masih dalam pengerjaan, dan mengembangkannya dengan bantuan masukan dari pemain.

Catatan: Game Akses Dini adalah produk yang belum selesai dan mungkin tidak akan berubah lebih lanjut. Jika kamu tidak berminat untuk memainkan game ini dalam kondisinya saat ini, kamu harus menunggu untuk melihat jika game ini terus dikembangkan. Pelajari lebih lanjut

Prakata dari pengembang:

Kenapa harus Akses Dini?

“Flarebound is a handcrafted passion project being developed by a solo dad during nights and weekends. Early Access gives me a chance to involve players directly as I shape the game’s world, mechanics, and balance. Your feedback will help refine the core loop, uncover fun strategies, and shape how deep into the darkness the game should go. This is also a way for early supporters to get in at a lower price and influence development from the start.”

Berapa lama game ini akan berada dalam Akses Dini?

“Flarebound will remain in Early Access as long as it needs to reach its full potential — though I’m aiming to keep development focused and scope-controlled. I want to grow the game responsibly without getting stuck in a cycle of never-ending updates. Somewhere between 3-6 months is my plan.”

Apa perbedaan antara versi penuh dan versi Akses Dini?

“The core gameplay — exploring in darkness, throwing flares, and drawing your path while time is stopped — is already in place. The full version is planned to include more of everything that makes Flarebound shine: additional enemy types, more environmental variety, expanded upgrades, new trap mechanics, and possibly some light story or progression structure. Nothing is promised, but the goal is to expand the challenge and discovery without losing the tight, focused feel.”

Apa status saat ini dari versi Akses Dini ini?

“The Early Access version includes a fully playable core experience with:
  • The complete time-stop and path-drawing mechanic
  • Procedurally generated levels in the dark
  • Several enemy types, including spiders and snakes
  • A light upgrade and progression system (flares, helmet light, etc.)
  • A minimal but atmospheric art style and audio direction
  • The game is stable and fun — but still evolving in terms of content depth, polish, and balance.

Apakah harga game akan berbeda selama dan setelah Akses Dini?

“Yes. Early Access is available at a lower price to reward early supporters. Once the game leaves Early Access, the price will increase. The Early Access discount will not return after full release, though occasional event-based sales may apply to the full price in the future.”

Seperti apakah rencana untuk melibatkan Komunitas dalam proses pengembangan?

“I’ll be listening closely to player feedback on Steam forums, social media, and through direct messages. I will send out surveys from time to time to make data-driven decisions about game features, what is fun gets improved and what isn't gets cut. ”

Tentang Game Ini

Flarebound is a tense roguelite digging adventure where players descend into dangerous volcanic caverns to recover ancient treasures. Armed only with flares, time slows down when you stop moving — letting you plan your next risky step.

Every run is unique, every artifact brings the museum closer to survival, and the lava never stops chasing you down the caverns.

Volcano

The volcano is about to erupt, threatening to bury a lifetime of treasures. You play as a daring explorer who partners with Elena, a museum curator desperate to preserve history before it’s lost forever.

Once you start digging, the volcano erupts and from here on there is only one way - down.

Runs

In each run, you:

  • Throw flares to light your path through pitch darkness.

  • Draw routes through collapsing tunnels and monster-infested chambers.

  • Collect artifacts, fossils, coins, and rare items.

  • Reach the escape pod to take your loot back to the museum

  • Complete collections and unlock upgrades

  • Balance risk and reward — deeper treasures are more valuable, but one mistake loses everything.

Monsters

Drawing a path into the darkness is dangerous - you never know what might lurk in the shadows...

...better throw flares to light up the dark before planning your path.

Upgrades

Every section ends with a gate that provides random temporary upgrades.

Museum

The home base, the Museum, serves as a display of your collections. Once you unlock the Upgrade Cellar you can also purchase permanent upgrades down there!

Helm-lamp upgrades, brighter bouncing flares, and path-length boosts become vital as you dig toward harsher biomes filled with snakes, skittering spiders, and stranger predators the deeper you go.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am making Flarebound in my spare time after kids’ bedtime, so every update is a labour of late-night love of game development.

Wishlist if you’d like to follow the journey down into the dark.

Roadmap to Release

Demo & Next Fest
I will participate in the upcoming "Steam Next Fest" if I manage to get a stable and fun demo together until then.

Early Access
Flarebound will be released at the end of 2025 in Early Access for community-driven balancing and to start the development of new biomes/volcanoes.

1.0 Launch
Date unclear, depends how early access goes and how much time I have, but some time in 2026. When launching the full version you will be able to complete the descent in many volcanoes and have proper Steam integration for achievements and trading cards etc.
