Experience a different kind of adventure with combat-free, physics-based flight, free exploration and the opening mysteries of the Plains.
Lamezia Terme, Italy – 8 October 2026. What if the reward for exploring a game wasn’t defeating what stands in your way, but simply learning how to fly?
That is the idea at the heart of STONEFEATHER, the new indie adventure from ACGames, and today players can experience it for themselves as the game’s free playable demo goes live on Steam as part of Unmistakable Festival, running from 8–12 October.
The demo will also feature in the Birds of Play Digital Showcase, taking place from 10–16 October, giving players another opportunity to discover STONEFEATHER and experience its distinctive approach to exploration.
A new gameplay trailer accompanies today’s demo launch, offering a closer look at the opening moments of the adventure.

LEARN TO FLY
There are no enemies to defeat in STONEFEATHER. No weapons. No combat encounters. Instead, the demo puts players in the air and asks them to learn.
Set entirely within the Plains, the game’s first large region, the demo introduces STONEFEATHER‘s physics-based flight controls before opening up the world for players to explore at their own pace.
Ancient ruins, hidden areas and optional secrets are scattered throughout the landscape, while the first core ability, Wind Boost, gives players a new way to harness the environment and move more quickly across the Plains.
The result is an adventure built around movement, curiosity and discovery rather than combat.
AWAKEN THE WIND
The Plains are also home to a series of animal-spirit challenges, including Butterflies hidden among the ruins and Foxes waiting to be discovered.
Completing these activities helps restore energy to the world and gradually awakens the wind, while meeting the Elder begins to reveal the mystery behind its disappearance.
The demo takes around 30 minutes to complete, although players who choose to explore more thoroughly can spend longer uncovering its optional secrets.
YOUR FIRST FLIGHT AWAITS
The STONEFEATHER demo offers the first chance to experience a world where flight isn’t simply a way of getting around; it is the adventure itself.
STONEFEATHER is available to wishlist now on Steam. The free demo is available during Unmistakable Festival (8–12 October) and the Birds of Play Digital Showcase (10–16 October).
