About the Game

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before charting the sleeping sky.
What platforms is Fraimbeas available on?
Fraimbeas launches on PC (Steam) and Nintendo Switch. Console availability will be announced after the initial release. We are also exploring a mobile companion app for star mapping on the go.
Do I need previous puzzle game experience to enjoy it?
Not at all. The tactile puzzles are designed to be intuitive and discoverable. You start by learning simple gestures—swirling, pressing, and tilting—that gradually combine into complex constellations. A gentle learning curve ensures both newcomers and puzzle veterans find wonder.
How long is the main story?
A full playthrough of the narrative arc takes about 10 to 14 hours, depending on how thoroughly you explore each starfield. There are also optional hidden constellations and lore fragments that can add another 4 to 6 hours for completionists.
Is there a physical edition or collector’s set?
Yes, a limited physical edition will be available through our official store. It includes a tactile star chart poster, a cloth map of the Atlas, and a set of in-game cosmetic items. Pre-orders open later this month.
Does the game require an internet connection?
No. Fraimbeas is a fully offline, single-player experience. Once downloaded, you can explore the sleeping sky anywhere without a connection. Cloud saves are optional for syncing between devices.
Will there be post-launch content or updates?
We plan to release two free content updates in the first year, each adding a new celestial region, additional puzzles, and deeper lore. Paid expansions are under consideration but not yet confirmed.
