About

Matcho is an upcoming video game by FiolaSoft Studio. Set in the same universe as FiolaSoft's previous game Blackhole, Matcho mixes elements of first-person shooter and match-3 puzzle games. It is planned to be released for Microsoft Windows, Linux, and PlayStation 5.

›Story

Something in Max matches what’s invading Earth. Triagon wants answers. Max wants a cure. Neither has much time.

Meet Max, a 25-year-old who spent the last 8 years locked deep underground in Triagon laboratories. His “illness” is violent outbursts of anomalous energy. There’s no permanent cure, only control, so his life depends on Triagon tech.

Then Thomas Jetsen shows up with an emergency mission: Triagon’s military general has been taken by strange, bug-like creatures from outer space. And the impossible detail: their measured energy signature is identical to Max’s.

That’s where the story begins. Rescue the general, push back the invasion, and uncover what Max really is. What used to ruin his life may be the only thing that can save it.

Matcho was in development by Fiolasoft since 2019. First phase of development concluded in 2020 when the game switched to Unreal Engine 4. The game was announced on 30 March 2022 during Game Access.

Release was scheduled for 13 March 2025 before it was delayed to 17 April 2025. Developers eventually decided to postpone release once agin but without new release date set. They stated that the decision was made after a thorough evaluation of the current state of the project and conclusion that the game needs more time. In August 2025 developers invited fans to participate in playtest noting that Matcho is close to completion, but it needs some fine-tuning.
