Akupara Games announced Bonespire at its Akupara Direct on September 7. The crafting sim comes from Paul Hart and Lee Williams, the Cryptmaster duo. The player is a wizard who inherits an ancient tower above the clouds, rebuilds it, and never leaves. Trade and guest visits happen through the window, and the world below changes in real time with player choices. There is no combat. An imp roommate comments on the decor until banished. The game is planned for Steam, with no release date or price set and English only.
Tower work covers magical relics, strange plants, potions, and ancient scrolls. The player inherits a run-down tower and rebuilds it while living there, never stepping outside. Merchants and guests are all dealt with through the window.
The world below the clouds changes in real time with player choices. The player can be a benefactor to the people or a nuisance who teases them. There is no combat, and the game is built around discovery at the player's own pace.
An imp lives in the tower and comments on the interior and housework. The player can ignore it or banish it through the window.
Bonespire is planned for Steam. The release date and price are undecided, and the game supports English only.
