Start and complete 15+ fully-developed quests

From growing your first crops to setting up a date between NPCs, the quests stay odd, build the story, but are ultimately endearing. Oh, and the multiple endings...

New NPCs

Meet and interact with 23 fully-voiced NPCs, all with unique storylines, routines, preferences, and quirks.

Fish to the Rhythm

Catch fish to the beat of 6 original tracks (many more to come!).

There’s still work to do on testing, visual polish, and recording voices for a few more characters, however the core feel of the game and its cast of cozy, strange NPCs is beginning to shine.

Huge thanks to everyone who’s followed along so far. Stay tuned for demo dates, and if you want to follow the game’s progress, check it out on TikTok, YouTube, or Instagram.

Wishlists and feedback are fuel to my little swamp soul, and I’m grateful for every bit of it.
