Press release:
Helsinki, Finland – March 24th, 2023.
The Finnish-Japanese indie games publisher Toko Midori Games and Vaasa-based (Finland) indie games developer Platonic Partnership, are today very excited and happy to announce that their first-person bullet-hell shooter “Bone Dust“, is now available for PC via Steam Early Access.

“Bone Dust” is a free-to-play first-person bullet-hell shooter with a unique and unsettling art style that is sure to leave players bewildered.

In “Bone Dust” players must battle against hordes of horrendous enemies resembling a twisted circus, using rapid bursts of playing cards to defeat them. The game is set in a simple large arena where players must dodge projectiles and shoot encroaching baddies. With gameplay reminiscent of Devil Daggers, Bone Dust is sure to provide an intense and exciting experience for players.

“This is a different kind of a card-based video game” said Toko Midori, the artist behind the publisher brand.

“The team at Platonic Partnership has created a distinctive and memorable flower that we are honored to be able to share with all the gamers around the world.”

“We’re thrilled to be launching Bone Dust and can’t wait to see how players respond to our unique look and fast gameplay,” said Jussi Loukiainen, co-founder of Platonic Partnership.

“The game is currently in Early Access, but we plan to add an innovative business model soon.”

The game’s developer, Platonic Partnership, is known for creating fascinating oddities such as Lydia and Voltage High Society. Bone Dust promises to continue that trend with its mind bending visual style and challenging gameplay.

The current pre-season of the game includes an arcade-like single arena and a final boss fight. The Season 1 level patches and leaderboards will be locked-in when the innovative “pay2brag” leaderboards launch with version 1.0 on April 20, 2023.

Bone Dust is now available for free on Steam. For more information on Platonic Partnership, Toko Midori and Bone Dust, visit their websites or follow them on social media:
