Description

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

Rain, snow, fog, storms, and night shape life on the island. Restore the lighthouse, make difficult decisions under pressure, and uncover what happened through diaries, letters, incident reports, newspaper notes, and unsettling discoveries.

Key Features

Rebuild the settlement. Lay roads, construct houses and production buildings, and bring a crumbling island settlement back to life.
Endure the island. Rain, snow, fog, storms, and darkness transform the island and test what you’ve built.
Control the lighthouse. Restore the island's lifeline and use it against darkness and poor visibility.
Make difficult choices. Deal with shortages, incidents, local conflicts, and decisions with no clean answer.
Uncover the island's past. Read reports, diaries, letters, and newspapers. Speak with the islanders and piece together what happened before your arrival — and why the lighthouse was left in ruins.
Strict 1-bit visual style. A black-and-white world inspired by old Macintosh-era games.
