Press release:
Uppsala, Sweden, February 21st, 2024 .
The Uppsala-based (Sweden) indie games publisher Kinda Brave and indie games developer Ember Trail, are today super happy and excited to announce that their relaxing management/adventure game “Distant Bloom“, is coming to PC via Steam on March 27th, 2024.

All fans who enjoy witnessing a world in ruin transform into a world in bloom will have the opportunity to embark on a wonderful adventure.

“Distant Bloom is a game that doesn’t rush us. In today’s busy world, we all need a bit of breathing room,” said Alexander Benitez, from Kinda Brave Entertainment.

“The game will take fans on a cozy management and exploration journey, where they’ll discover the power of nature and the value of maintaining balance and harmony in the world.”

In Distant Bloom, alongside members of our cosmic expedition, we find ourselves on an alien planet, with a critical mission to establish a home for our species there. After a long journey through the cosmic void and an unexpected crash landing, the planet we observed through the telescope will not be a lush green paradise teeming with life, but a total ruin.

It will be up to us to answer the question of what happened here. With our companion Kei’ki, a faithful robot, and our team, we will attempt to rebuild the planet’s natural environment and restore life to it.

Along our journey, we will encounter several biomes, including hills, marshes, gorges, and forests. Each biome features unique fauna, characterized by the terrain (such as rocky, hot, dry, or wet) and the variety of plants (including trees, shrubs, ferns, and fungus). Players will have the chance to explore the planet’s fragile ecosystem and witness its blossoming before their eyes.

In the game, we will manage our resources, collect raw materials and seeds to expand our settlement, upgrade tools, and improve relationships with our companions. Along our way, we will encounter animals that will also need our help, as well as ancient ruins that will allow us to learn more about how this once vibrant planet found itself on the brink of extinction.

Distant Bloom will debut on Steam on March 27th, 2024. Curious fans who would like to experience family-friendly, tranquil gameplay can try out the demo available on the Steam store page today.

About Ember Trail
Our studio was founded in 2017 as Bad Yolk Games. The goal was to create a sustainable work culture. In 2021, we launched Main Assembly, a physics-based game where players can create anything from eight-legged spider bots to eerie UFO contraptions.

Since then, we’ve evolved into Ember Trail, a name that better reflects our goal and character. Now, we cohabit an awesome office in Uppsala (Sweden) with our sister studio, Dinomite Games as well as our publishing parent company, Kinda Brave.
