What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Rich relationships, satisfying and exciting gameplay, and an overall fantastic bang-for-the-buck is our goal for Reel Life. Launching the game in Early Access helps us reach out to the gaming community to ensure that happens!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We are anticipating 6 to 8 months further development time on the core gameplay, centered on the nation of Rosenvale. Once we’ve reached that stage, we’ll exit Early Access and plan to begin adding additional content (and locations) free of charge.”

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

“We intend for the player to have access to a fully fleshed out country in which to explore, make money, and build relationships.

Once the full version is released, we aim to start building the rest of the world of Reel Life in free updates.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Currently, players can explore one country and get a feel for the slot machines and the residents. Please see the ‘Coming Soon’ section under ‘About this Game’ for further information on the content we have planned for initial release.”

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

“We are starting at a lower price in Early Access to reflect current playable content. Once released, the game will be priced higher.”

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

“The community is crucial to our development, as we will be using your feedback for balance issues – that means helping to determine optimal paylines, payouts, prices, item chances, and more. We want our universal slot machine mechanism to be as fun and as rewarding as possible! In addition, we’d like to hear what you like or don’t like about the Reel Life world as we build it.

We'll be monitoring the Community Hub for your thoughts and suggestions.”

About This Game

Jump from country to country in a large, luck-based, slot happy world. Spend your days however you want - there's no end goal or time limit; forage, fish, mine, or grow crops for money - or maybe hit up the coin slots in travelling fairs or casinos in search of that jackpot.

What's all that money for? How about purchasing additional farmland - in multiple countries! Build houses, barns, and crafting stations to maximize profit, or to give you more room to decorate. Craft your perfect farm with furniture, décor, and garden objects.

And when your house is just right, maybe it's time to go out into the world and find the perfect partner to help call it 'home'. But who needs romance when you have a heaping handful of friends? Loneliness is a thing of the past when you can schedule dinner parties or get togethers to liven things up.

Reel Life strives to be a relaxing, comfortable, and rewarding gameplay experience – no matter the feature you choose to focus on.

Our goal for Reel Life is to provide a relaxing point-and-click farming sim experience that can be played in short or long bursts. We are striving to make a fulfilling and enjoyable gaming experience, ideal for those looking to wind down after a long day of school or work.



  • An initial 3x3 slot format is used in harvesting and foraging, with a limited amount of free spins awarded daily per slot machine type.
  • Use tokens to get more spins. Tokens can be won or purchased with gold.
  • Every slot machine will offer a chance to win a special bonus on each spin. Examples include free spins, free tokens, and multipliers. Temporarily increase your bonus chances by using certain items.
  • In Rosenvale, a rural nation with temperate weather, players will have 6 women and 6 men to romance. Right now, players can talk to each NPC to get a flavor of the writing and characters, but they can't build relationship levels.
  • Raise crops, orchard trees, flowers, and chickens on your farm. More crop and animal types are on the way.
  • Win rare crops, fish, wild game, and gems for more profit. Each country in the world will offer a chance at winning unique rare gemstone crops, fish, and wild game. Watch the money roll in when you plant your first gemstone tree!
  • Cooking!

Genre Standards

  • Customize your player avatar - hair, skin, gender, and clothing. Outfits can be crafted, bought, or found.
  • Build, upgrade, and decorate your home – and the world at large – with bought or crafted furniture and décor.
  • Build or buy refiners and workbenches to turn products into even more valuable goods.
  • Build or buy barns to house animals, or build shacks to offer additional workspace.
  • Buy better fishing rods to increase your success with catching fish. Better rods mean bigger fish.
  • Eight holidays per year per country. Each country will have four national and four global holidays, all celebrated in their own unique way.

Relationships

  • Marriage and divorce.
  • Boost platonic or romantic relationships more quickly by scheduling or accepting dates with residents. Or, trust your luck and roll a die to see if you can go up a relationship level.
  • Friendship and Romance levels are separate. No more hurt feelings when you just want to be friends.
  • Trigger relationship events for each resident to give you additional insight into their lives.

And More!

  • Travelling merchants that can offer better deals and rare items.
  • An expanded inventory of food, fish, animals, crops, and much more.
  • Capture or purchase monsters to battle against wild monsters. That’s right, it’s slot vs. slot! Winners get gold and prizes. Losers get DEATH. So be sure to win.

Globe Trotting

  • New countries to visit and call home, each with unique items and residents.
  • If you’re going abroad, consider taking along a local resident for a day trip or romantic getaway. Just remember to get everybody’s visas in order!
  • Elemental temples in each country will offer rare and valuable goods. Defeat the temple guardians and get access to new areas and better loot!
  • Specialized museums in each country for players to donate their finds.
  • Maximize your luck nationally and globally, or just leave it up to chance!

Social Networks

  • Romance any adult resident that you want! Are they already married? Why not have an affair? Or perhaps you could ‘help’ them get divorced. …Or widowed.
  • Residents can have their own relationships, too. Help them find love or friendship. Or, if you’re the bitter type, do the opposite and wallow in their tears.
  • Buy houses and land in new countries. Use it for yourself or move in a resident to permanently influence their future.
