About GlagStone
GlagStone is a city builder drawn in black and white, styled after late-1980s Macintosh games. You arrive on a remote northern island as its new governor. The lighthouse is damaged, the settlement is falling apart, and the previous governor has disappeared.
You decide how to spend the settlement's limited supplies while islanders bring you their worries about the catch, food shortages and an upcoming celebration. Letters, diaries, conversations and old reports slowly tell you more about the island and the warring nations around it. Rain, snow and fog change how it looks, and at night the only light comes from lanterns and the lighthouse beam.
The two developers showed how they make night with just two colours, and the post passed 4,000 upvotes on r/IndieDev. It's planned for 2027 on Windows, Mac and Linux.
