About This Release
Foundlings: Phase 1 is the first public release of the project - a free, playable introduction to its world, characters, and story.
The game is stable and its core foundation is in place, but the story, visuals, audio, localization, and other elements are still being developed. This release gives players an early chance to experience Foundlings, share feedback, and help shape its future.
Phase 2 is planned as the full commercial release, with expanded content and professional writing, art, music, localization, and voice acting.
There is currently no release date for Phase 2. Development is ongoing, and future updates will be shared here on the official Foundlings website.
