Our take on Stonefly
Movement is built around gliding: the tiny mech spends most of its time airborne, crossing rocks and leafy canopies while staying above ground-level bugs and hazards.
What is Stonefly?
Stonefly is an action-adventure RPG about Annika Stonefly, who pilots a miniature mech through a magical forest while searching for a stolen family heirloom.
Movement focuses on gliding across rocks and leafy canopies rather than walking, allowing traversal above ground-level threats. Combat takes place in arena-like encounters where wind-based abilities push bugs out of designated areas. Different bug behaviors call for different approaches, while efficient victories provide minerals for mech upgrades. The journey passes through autumn foliage, briars, and marshes, and includes relationships with members of the Acorn Corps, a group of stranded mech pilots. The story follows Annika as she travels through this techno-nature setting.
