What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Shinehill is being developed by a very small team of two people. Since the demo was released, we have received valuable feedback on the game and have refined a lot of things. Therefore, we want to continue to involve our community in working on the full release to create a game you'll love!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We are currently planning for Shinehill to be in Early Access for 6 months to a year.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We plan to add:

  • More quests, both side quests and quests that continue the main story.
  • More events with NPCs
  • Relationship and marriage system (to be solved with the community).
  • Festivals
  • More cultures and pets,
  • More elaborate combat system for enemies.
  • More content for home decoration.
  • Good localisation (now most languages use machine translation)

We are open to your suggestions! The list can be increased.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“There are so many things to do in the game!

  • The main story and lots of side quests.
  • Meet the 16 characters and make friends with them.
  • Learn about the island's past.
  • Grow different crops.
  • Cook food and serve it to the locals.
  • Make pets.
  • Catch lots of fish.
  • Many mini games
  • Mining
  • Fight monsters in caves and on the surface.
  • Improve your home

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes, the price will likely increase at full release. Shinehill will tentatively be offered at a lower price during the Early Access period.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We'd love to hear your feedback in the Steam community discussions and on the Discord server to make community feedback part of our development process.

We look forward to creating a good game with you!

Your feedback is invaluable to us, so feel free to share your thoughts!”

About This Game

Being a spy on an unfamiliar planet, anyone would have been greeted with hostility, but you were incredibly lucky! Trusting locals mistook you for a new neighbor and provided you with a house and a plot of land to live on.

  • You'll have to help out the locals: learn their stories, make "friends" or even something more.

    Win favour of the villagers, impress them with your achievements.

  • Become a champion fisherman by showing patience and wits.

  • Engage in farming and grow various crops.

  • Descend and explore the long-abandoned dungeons that hide secrets of the island.

  • Show off your culinary skills by cooking flavourful dishes.

What drew attention of the command to this planet? Is this really a paradise island, or is its allure merely a deceptive facade?

Get to know your new friends better and find the one who really holds a threat to everyone.
