Welcome islanders!

We're very proud to announce a playable demo as part of this Steam Next Fest! This is out first of two major demo releases this month, so wishlist, download, play and contribute to the game's development.

The second, larger demo releasing later this month will feature localisation! This build only has English.

Build Something That Can Survive the Night

ShoreTiles is an atmospheric tile-placement strategy game where you build and defend a fragile island settlement surrounded by a cold, endless sea.

Expand your island tile by tile, shape your economy, construct defenses, and keep your lighthouse alive against the growing darkness beyond the fog.

Because when night falls, the sea changes, throwing your island into aa fight for survival, as creatures emerge from the depths, drawn toward your lighthouse and everything you’ve built around it.

Every tile placement is permanent.

Every night grows harder.

Every decision matters.

What You’ll Find in the Demo

During Steam Next Fest, players can experience:

  • Strategic tile-placement gameplay

  • Procedurally generated islands

  • Dynamic day-night survival systems

  • Settlement building and resource management

  • Defensive structures and military planning

  • Escalating enemy threats emerging from the sea

Whether you build cautiously, expand aggressively, or fortify every corner of your island, no two runs play the same.
