- Floralis went to Gamescom! - 11 September 2026
First things first: did you have a chance to watch our new trailer and play the updated demo? You did? Good! At the end of August, Floralis made its way to the Games from Ukraine booth at Gamescom, where visitors could get their hands on the demo and take a closer look at our little creepy flower world. It was great to watch people play and see their reactions. Of course, a crowded convention floor isn’t exactly the ideal habitat for Floralis (we much prefer a dark, moist room with no one around). Still, we were happy to see plenty of people get properly engrossed in the game. Thanks to everyone who stopped by, played the demo, and shared their thoughts. We came away with a lot of useful feedback, and we’ll be putting it to work as development continues. More news soon. In the meantime, wishlist Floralis if you haven’t already, and come hang out in our Discord.Fun plant fact of the day:…

- Act II Sneak Peek - 19 June 2026
Everything we learned wrestling with the atmosphere of Act I went straight into Act II.With Act II we’re targeting a slightly different aesthetic. The game takes you further into what’s left of human civilization, and the world of Floralis becomes moodier, weirder, and more dangerous.Here’s an early look at some of the locations you’ll get to explore:We're not going to say much more about Act II just yet. But as you can see from the last image, the further you are in the jungle, the hungrier it gets…Wishlist FloralisIf you're enjoying the journey so far, please wishlist and follow the game so you don't miss future announcements.

- How Floralis grew between demos - 26 May 2026
Hi everyone!This week we're showcasing Floralis at the Nordic Game event in Sweden. We wanted to show something special, so we put together a quick side-by-side. This is our first demo and where Floralis is today.The rework has been on our minds a lot over the last few months (see Devlog #2 for more details). It feels good to stop for a second, breathe, and see how far we've come on the journey... …which, of course, is far from over. We’re now hard at work on Act II of the game. Be sure to check out our news next week. We might sneak in a little teaser 😉 Fun plant fact of the day: The ancient Welwitschia mirabilis desert plant lives for over 1,500 years but only ever grows two leaves, which continuously push outward from the base like hair. The smooth, green center is brand new, while the frayed, wind-torn tips trailing across the sand are centuries old. Kind of like game development.S…
- Devlog #2: Lighting Befores & Afters - 1 May 2026
Hi everyone!It’s been five months since our previous devlog, and we’ve spent them buried in working on Floralis. Today we’d like to take a moment to show what’s changed.Let’s step out of the editor for a minute, shall we?Early Levels: The Refinement ContinuesThe setting of Floralis is meant to exist in a very particular kind of tension: strikingly beautiful yet hauntingly dangerous. We want every environment to carry both feelings at once, like a cozy room you don’t want to linger in. Or a flower you’d rather not touch.Our last devlog was about polishing the opening hour of the game. Since then, we’ve done several more passes on the game’s introduction to bring it closer to that vision.Here’s a scene from the tutorial section. The old version was atmospheric enough but it was leaning hard into ‘spooky haunted house’ vibes:We wanted more of the bloom. The sense that nature moved in, made…

And it genuinely means a lot to us!Fun plant fact of the day: Drosera, known as the sundew plant, slowly curls its tentacles around insects while they're still alive, taking up to an hour to fully engulf its prey.

- Devlog #1: Refining Early Levels - 11 November 2025
Hi everyone!Over the last few months, we’ve been quietly tending to the early levels of Floralis. Our aim was to make them denser, more atmospheric, and more alive, bringing everything we learned from developing later parts of the game into a cohesive early-game experience.Making Richer, More Interactive EnvironmentsYou could say we went back to the roots. We’ve revisited every scene in the opening chapters of Floralis to expand and fill it with new environmental details, making the world feel more organic and vibrant.You’ll notice richer environments across the boards with new assets like scattered bookshelves, wooden planks, glowing plants, and so on. We also took this chance to rework certain level passages and gameplay beats to improve gameplay flow.Those environments also look better because we updated lighting and color grading, adding more depth, contrast, and mood to each scene.…
