Stranded on a lush paradise island, you’ll uncover hidden secrets, meet intriguing characters, and explore an open‑world first‑person adventure filled with discovery and treasure‑hunting challenges.
Today, we want to share an important update about the future of the game.
First, we want to sincerely apologize for moving our release date to Q3 2026. We know many of you have been eagerly waiting to get your hands on the game, and we don't take your patience or support for granted. Delaying a launch is never an easy decision, especially when so many people have been cheering us on throughout development.
The reason for this change is ultimately a positive one!
We've recently partnered with a publisher who shares our vision for the game and believes in what we're building: Nutaku Publishing.
This partnership gives us an opportunity we simply didn't have before: the chance to take the game further, polish it more thoroughly, and deliver it the way we've always imagined players experiencing it.
The additional time will allow us to polish animations, fix bugs, improve performance, and continue refining the experience based on your feedback from the demo. Rather than rushing to release, we want to make sure we're delivering the best version of the game possible.
We're incredibly grateful for your support, patience, and enthusiasm throughout development. Thank you for being part of this journey—we can't wait to share more as we work toward launch in Q3 2026.
In the meanwhile, you can play the demo here!
