About This Game

GlagStone is a story-driven 1-bit city builder set on a remote northern island caught between warring nations.

You arrive as the new governor. The lighthouse is damaged, the settlement is falling apart, and the previous leader has vanished without a trace. The locals keep their heads down, the sea brings strange wreckage, and every message from the mainland feels more urgent than the last.

Rebuild the island piece by piece

Lay roads, construct houses and production buildings, manage scarce resources, and keep your people alive through shortages, fear, and bad weather.

Weather, night, and the lighthouse

The island is shaped by rain, snow, fog, storms, and darkness. The lighthouse is not just decoration — it helps the settlement survive poor visibility, harsh weather, and the growing sense that something is wrong here.

Make choices under pressure

GlagStone is made with only two colors, but the island’s problems are not always black and white. You will face local disputes, desperate requests, official reports, and choices where there may be no clean answer — only the outcome the settlement can survive.

Uncover what really happened here through diaries, letters, incident reports, newspaper notes, and unsettling discoveries. The more you rebuild, the more the island begins to reveal what was buried before you arrived.

KEY FEATURES

  • Story-driven city building — rebuild a crumbling island settlement while uncovering the mystery at its heart.

  • Strict 1-bit visual style — a black-and-white world inspired by old Macintosh-era games, built around high contrast, readable UI, and dense little details.

  • Weather, night, and visibility — rain, snow, fog, storms, and darkness change the mood of the island and how much of it you can see.

  • A lighthouse that matters — restore the island’s lifeline and use it to push back against darkness, harsh weather, and poor visibility.

  • Choices under pressure — deal with incidents, shortages, local conflicts, and decisions that affect morale, loyalty, resources, and the people under your rule.

  • Documents as storytelling — discover the island’s past through reports, diaries, letters, newspaper notes, and found items.

  • Grounded, slightly macabre characters — meet residents with their own needs, losses, fears, and requests.

  • Original sound and music — an atmospheric soundscape built to support tension, isolation, and melancholy.
