DESCRIPTION OF WHAT'S IN THE GAME: Welcome to the Shinehill Island, where an alien must blend in with villagers while building a new life!

Main Story and Side Quests

107 exciting quests await you! Explore the main story and help the locals with their side quests!

Friendship and Relationships with Villagers

Meet 17 wonderful villagers and befriend them! Give gifts, talk to them, and get to know them better. Strike up a romance with one of 8 romantic characters (or even all of them!), get married, and become a happy family!

Create Your Character

Customize your alien’s appearance and change it at any time! Be unique with 9 color options (hairstyle, skin tone, sweater, overalls, etc.).

Farming and Pets

Become a farmer and grow a variety of crops! You can also adopt some very cute and unusual pets.

Explore the Island

Discover Shinehill Island by exploring 7 large locations with diverse flora and fauna, and record everything in your collection system! For easy travel between locations, repair the teleport system. You’ll also find 15 NPC houses, allowing you to get to know their residents a little better, and 5 dungeons, each with something interesting to discover! Uncover the island’s past and the secrets it holds!

Quest Board

Help the locals by accepting daily commissions from the quest board.

Fishing

Fish in all parts of the island, discover every fish species, and become a fishing champion!

Disguise System

Don’t forget to conceal your true identity. Maintain your disguise meter by any means necessary! Pretend to be a good neighbor and farmer. (You’re not really like that, are you?)

Resource Mining

Explore dungeons and gather the necessary materials. But be careful, the caves can be dangerous!

Cooking

Cook delicious dishes and share them with everyone! Choose your own recipe or find one somewhere on the island. Oddly enough, you can find them almost anywhere! (Ask the mayor why this is so.)

House Decorations

Renovate and style your house to suit your taste! Pink walls and a black roof, or a house made of gold? It’s up to you!

Minigames

Enjoy fun minigames as you progress through the story or simply while exploring the world of Shinehill!

Battles

Grab your sword and don’t forget to dodge! Show everyone on the island who’s boss. Fight enemies on the surface and in dungeons, including minibosses and story bosses!

Additional Gameplay Features

For a more convenient gameplay experience, a “no-damage” system is included, allowing you to play without worrying about combat. You can also skip minigames. An automatic obstacle avoidance mechanic is also included, preventing you from getting stuck and making movement more convenient. Gamepad, keyboard and mouse, or keyboard-only controls are supported.

Creating the game was our dream. And now it become a reality! We'd like to express our deepest gratitude to all of you for being with us on this long journey. You gave us advice on how to best develop the game, and you believed in newcomers like us. This has given us the strength to keep working all this time. It's only thanks to your support that we've come this far! We're also especially grateful to our wonderful volunteers, who made it possible for players from all over the world to enjoy the game! We think it's incredible. We were so happy to meet such wonderful people! You guys are amazing! Thank you to all the content creators who streamed ShineHill, many people learned about the game thanks to you. You were always kind and forgiving, even in the early stages of the game's development, when it looked much worse than it does now. And of course, thank you to our families and loved ones! A lot has happened over these nearly four years, both good and bad. And we're incredibly grateful for your support!

The game may not be perfect, but we really worked hard and did everything we could to make sure you enjoyed it. We will definitely continue to develop the game, support it, and work on improvements! We're planning at least several major updates in the future, because we truly love Shinehill and want to continue to develop and flesh out its story.
