About This Demo

Try a small slice of Restore Your Island: heal a smaller island, bond with your dog, and relax by the fireplace — your feedback shapes the full game.

ABOUT THIS DEMO Thanks for trying the Restore Your Island demo! This build is a focused vertical slice of the full game that shows the heart of what we’re making: place-based ecological restoration, companion play, and cozy downtime.

What’s included in the demo

• A playable smaller island where you can survey damage, clean up debris, and discover easter eggs and treasures hidden beneath the sand.

• The revival loop: apply fertilizer to weakened trees and observe visible regrowth. Revived trees can drop bananas and coconuts that restore player energy during a session.

• Core actions: cleaning, petting and playing with your dog, collecting fruit, exploring, and upgrading tools using the in-game money by selling what you collect .

• Your dog companion: pet them and play the demo mini-game (hide & find). These interactions demonstrate bonding.

• The fireplace hub: sit by the fire, play the demo music tracks, listen to water ambience, and relax — a preview of features we’ll expand in the full game.

• English + all available interface/subtitle languages (the full release will support the same multi-language set). Steam Store

What the demo does NOT include (for clarity)

• This is a limited area slice — full map, house decorations, late-game biomes, and many planned upgrades are not in this demo.

• Progress made in the demo does not carry over to the full release.

• Achievements, Trading Card drops, Workshop, and some planned social features are not active in the demo.

Approximate playtime

• Expect 30–60 minutes to explore the demo area and experience the loop end-to-end. (Your playtime may vary depending on how much you explore and how long you spend at the fireplace.)

What we want you to test / tell us about

• Can you tell when the island is reacting to your actions? (Is visual feedback clear and satisfying?)

• Are the dog interactions fun and responsive? Any suggestions for mini-games?

• Does the fireplace feel like a restful hub? Any ideas for sounds, music, or interactions?

• Is the energy pacing (fruit rewards → actions) comfortable or too limiting/too generous?

• Any usability or clarity problems in the UI, or translation/localization issues.

• Performance, crashes, or graphical glitches on your hardware.
