Embark on a Journey of Self-Discovery and Belonging in this Captivating Mech Adventure Among Nature on Xbox Consoles
Stonefly is developed by a small team at Flight School Studio, led by Bohdon Sayre and Adam Volker. Their previous releases include Island Time VR, IGF Award nominated Creature in the Well and Daytime Emmy Award® nominated Manifest 99. Based in Dallas and Montreal, Flight School is a studio of artists and technicians, fearlessly exploring the unknown space of film, games, VR, AR, and anything else in the wide and boundless sky.
Featuring richly handcrafted art inspired by mid-century modern design and nature, Stonefly follows Annika on her quest to recover her dad’s beloved rig after it is taken by a thief in the night. As Annika, players invent and craft abilities for their very own mech, venture into the wilderness and harness the wind to strategically glide among beautiful flora and dangerous fauna on missions to harvest materials. Along the way, players will develop cool tech to upgrade their mech’s abilities, encounter a memorable crew of castaway pilots known as the Acorn Corps, confront hordes of hungry bugs, and help Annika uncover her true potential and embrace her legacy.
“It’s been a really rewarding journey for us to realize the world of Stonefly, and we can’t wait for players to dive into it,” said Bohdon Sayre, Game Director at Flight School Studio. “As a studio, we challenge ourselves to develop unique and interesting experiences, and Stonefly is the culmination of many individual pieces coming together towards that goal. We’ve already had so much support from early players and fans, and we hope everyone else enjoys gliding around the forest and helping Annika on her journey as much as we do.”
Players can experience the original, eclectic sounds of Stonefly’s soundtrack, composed by Berlin-based experimental electronic artist Natureboy Flako, on all streaming platforms, as well as Limited Edition Vinyl, available for pre-order on the game’s official website www.stoneflygame.com.
“From start to finish, Stonefly is a visually captivating game that features an inspiring narrative, unique gameplay mechanics, intriguing characters and an immersive soundtrack, all wrapped up into this tranquil gaming experience,” said Ethan Stearns, executive vice president of MWM Interactive. “Flight School Studio’s artistic vision really shines through the experiences they craft, and Stonefly is a stunning game that players need to experience.”
