Flowstone Saga is now launching worldwide on Thursday, September 26th with the complete 4.5+ hour soundtrack available on the same day!

... Wait, didn't we say September 17th before? Yes, we just hit a minor roadblock. We submitted our release build to Valve on September 8th - time to spare, or so we thought.

However, there was a hiccup where the dropdown menus in the game launcher were not clearly accessible via controller-only. Since we marked the game as "Full Controller Support", this was an immediate fail.

We addressed the issue and verified those menus are now properly controllable with nothing but a controller, and resubmitted our build.

However, since it's <24 hours to our original planned date and we still have not heard back, it's too risky for us to go forward with our scheduled launch day marketing. This includes sponsored streams/videos that are intended to go live when the game is actually available for purchase.

To ensure that we have ample buffer time to make 100% sure we have the approval AND time to reschedule these promotions, we (Impact Gameworks & our publisher in China, Doyoyo Games) decided to pick September 26th as the launch date.

We know this is disappointing for those looking forward to purchasing and playing the full version of the game tomorrow, and believe me, we're disappointed too. But we also don't want to waste our tiny (relative to major publishers!) marketing budget by fumbling on launch day, so this really does seem like the safest & right call. We hope you understand.

In the meantime, anyone who wants to hear about our continuous updates & improvements to the game prior to launch, and even catch a live dev stream, can head to our Discord server[discord.gg]. We hope to see you there!
