š Game Overview
Astrovia is a story-rich, top-down puzzle adventure set in a fractured sci-fi universe where time and space have collapsed into chaos. Players explore stylized, handcrafted puzzle environments spread across three distinct worlds, each affected by dimensional instability and temporal anomalies.
You play as a mysterious cloaked figure, chosen by cosmic fate to restore balance by collecting ancient relics known as Bristonite Shards. These shards are remnants of an artifact that once held the universeās timeline together. To retrieve them, players must solve increasingly complex puzzles using a combination of:
Push-box mechanics and pressure switches
Timing-based triggers and platform navigation
Time-themed puzzle design, including shifting platforms, disappearing paths, and memory-based traversal
The game also lays the foundation for a future Time-Jump Mechanic, where players will shift between past and present versions of levels to influence outcomesāa feature being planned for future updates.
Each level is designed to reward critical thinking and observation, with puzzles woven into the narrative and world logic. As players progress, they unlock Bristonite Shardsāeach representing a piece of the story and a mark of skill.

š¼ Business Model
Current Phase (Demo / Early Build):
At present, Astrovia is focused on delivering a quality-first experience. The current build has no monetization, as we prioritize building community trust, refining gameplay, and validating our core mechanics and NFT integration. All NFTs (Bristonite Shards) are unlocked strictly through gameplay as part of the demo progressionāno purchases or pre-sales.
No speculation. Just skill-based achievement.
Future Revenue Streams (Post-Launch):
Cosmetic Store (In-Game Purchases)
Sell optional, non-pay-to-win cosmetics (outfits, crystal skins, visual effects)
NFTs or in-game currency can be used for transactions
NFT Marketplace Royalties
Secondary trading of Bristonite Shards via integrated marketplace
A small royalty fee (e.g. 5%) supports ongoing development and ecosystem growth
Seasonal Progress Pass (Optional)
Introduce seasonal content with unique shard variants and cosmetic rewards
Non-intrusive and purely aesthetic; can be free-to-play friendly
Cross-Game Ecosystem (Long-Term Vision)
Astrovia is the first title in a larger puzzle-adventure universe
NFTs and achievements may carry cross-game utility across future games within the ecosystem
Grants, Collaborations & Sponsored Events
Partner with chains, platforms, or other games for sponsored puzzle events, exclusive shards, or branded levels
Philosophy:
Astroviaās model is built around earned value and player-first design. Monetization will never interfere with gameplay integrity. Our goal is to prove that blockchain games can be fun, fair, and rewardingāwithout relying on speculation or paywalls.
