About This Game

Welcome to the Cozy Estuary! A habitat teeming with biodiversity! You’ve just moved into this small community. Explore this story-rich habitat as you craft, cultivate, decorate, and innovate. Meet the townsfolk of this habitat, help the community grow, and unite a diverse group of critters from all walks of life.

Befriend a diverse cast of critters found in the estuary. Make new friends, grow your relationships, and strengthen the bonds of the community. Follow the story as you get to know your new home and improve the town, along with the lives of its inhabitants.

Befriend the townsfolk to unlock tools. Dig up treasure with your Shovel, Water your garden with your Watering Can, Reel in fish with your Fishing Rod, Chop wood with your Axe, Mine ore with your Pickaxe, and Catch critters with your Bug Net. Cook and Craft your gathered materials or share with the townsfolk to grow the community. 

The land is not as perfect as it seems, human intervention is harming the ecosystems. Clean up the community, recycle waste and learn how to craft with the goodies you scavenge. One person's trash is another critter's treasure!

Build your dream home. Paint, build and decorate your new home with the furniture you craft. Then share your eye for design to the community by customizing the town. Make the entire Estuary your own by rearranging and decorating with hundreds of objects to choose from.

With six different critters to play, you can be who you want! Write your own story through your outfits and style, or express yourself through your home. Turn this estuary into a home just right for you!

Master new skills and crafts. Cultivate, Fish, Mine, Forage, Chop, and Dig. Craft decorations for your home and town. Create inventions to help you navigate through unreachable habitats. Craft a diving helmet to swim with the fish, build suspension bridges high in the sky to hop from canopy to canopy, and so much more. Breakdown species barriers to bring the entire estuary together!

Explore the unique neighborhoods of the estuary in the sea, land, and sky. Your journey may start in your natural habitat, but you’ll soon discover innovative ways to bring the different neighborhoods of the estuary together! Underwater swim in the freshwater river or dive into the depths of the ocean. After trekking through the salt-marshes take a break and relax on the sand shoals. Bask in the canopies of the forests or perch in the mangroves. A whole estuary awaits!

Your hard work doesn’t go unnoticed. Win the approval of the townsfolk by making friends, chatting, gifting presents, and bettering the community. Everyone in the community has different needs and emotions. With 25 different emotions that change with your actions, townsfolk change their behavior and conversations all the time!
