About This Game

Collect unique seashells at your own pace.

Beachcomber is a calm ocean experience built around discovery, collection, and choice. Wander the shoreline uncovering new seashells and decide how deeply you want to engage — whether that means quietly collecting what you find beautiful, or more actively pursuing new ways to expand your collection.

Beachcomber is designed to be flexible and pressure-free. You can dip in for a few minutes, or settle in and explore its systems more deeply.

Ways You Might Play

  • Active Mode

    Control the rhythm of the waves and actively uncover new shell variations.

  • Natural Mode

    Let the ocean work on its own schedule, returning occasionally to see what has washed ashore.

  • Collection Mode

    Arrange and share your growing collection in a personal showcase.

  • Puzzle / Challenge Modes

    Use the visible qualities of your shells in more structured challenges, discovering unexpected relationships across your collection.

Creative Collecting

What sets Beachcomber apart is that every shell is genuinely unique. With such a wide range of colors and patterns, no two players' collections will ever be the same.

This variety also can allow for more structured, goal-oriented play for players looking for that, as the endless possibilities also create a vast range of potential challenges. Players may emphasize contrast, balance, or rarity — or seek out specific combinations of traits that open up new possibilities.

Design Philosophy

Rather than burying needless complexity inside menus or stat screens, Beachcomber puts everything directly in front of you. Each shell carries a rich set of visible characteristics that you can read at a glance. Puzzles and strategies are built around noticing patterns, relationships, and visual qualities — not memorizing numbers or optimizing spreadsheets.

This allows Beachcomber to stay visually calm and approachable, while still supporting surprising depth for players who enjoy experimental systems and emergent gameplay.

Come to Beachcomber for a quiet walk along the shore — and stay to discover where your collection might take you.
