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.

即将开启抢先体验

此游戏的开发者打算发行仍在制作中的游戏,根据玩家反馈进行开发。

注意:处于抢先体验的游戏内容尚不完整且也许会发生变化。如果您不是特别想玩当前这个状态下的游戏,那么您应该等待一段时间来观察游戏的开发进度。了解更多

开发者的话:

为何要采用抢先体验这种模式?

“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.”

这款游戏的抢先体验状态大约持续多久?

“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.”

计划中的完整版本和抢先体验版本到底有多少不同?

“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.”

抢先体验版本的现状如何?

“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.

在抢先体验期间和结束之后,游戏价格会有所不同吗?

“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.”

在开发过程中,你们是如何计划让玩家社区参与进来的?

“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. ”

关于此游戏

About This Game

You play an archaeologist who has to save all the artefacts deep underground next to an erupting volcano. Because that's what sane explorers do.

Yes you are an archaeologist but no, you do not have a whip, why does everyone ask me that? What would an archaeologist do with a whip?

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

Deep down flares are your only hope to make it through the darkness. Flarebound is a tactical roguelite. You play in short bursts:

  • Move: Your archaeologist runs and digs along the path you drew.

  • Freeze: The world halts automatically - lava hangs, enemies pause, everything stops.

  • Plan in the Dark: In this calm pocket of frozen time you can throw some of your limited flares and draw the next path for your miner. Or save your flares and draw blindly - but that can have serious consequences. 

  • Resume: Once the path is drawn, time snaps back to life and your archaeologist commits to the path, for better or worse.

Each pause is a small puzzle: Will that flare reveal treasure, a wall of granite, or a waiting spider? Or save flares and just dig? No matter what you do, the lava is always behind you.

Every section ends with a gate that provides random upgrades that will improve your equipment and give you better chances to make it all the way down.

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.

Earn coins, unlock permanent gear, learn how different creatures react to light—and try again.

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.

Key Features

Draw-and-Go Movement
Trace tiles in darkness to plan the way and then watch how it plays out.

Dynamic Flares
Upgrade burn time, radius, stickiness, bounces, pulses, infrared vision, and more.

Dripping Lava Pressure
Constant time limit keeps every choice tense.

Upgrade Gates
Upgrade your archaeologist after each section; pick one of three run-defining perks.

Vault Rooms
Optional side gates with riches unlocked by scarce keys: extra loot vs. valuable seconds.

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.
