Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Paws & Shine is made by one person I'm a solo developer creating all the 3D art, design, and code myself. Early Access lets me build the game together with the people it's made for. The core loop traveling to islands, decorating cozy homes for cats, and using what you earn to furnish your own home is complete and playable. But a cozy game lives or dies by how it feels, and that is best shaped with real players rather than alone at a desk. Your feedback will directly influence which islands, furniture, and features I build next.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I don't have an exact date, and as a solo developer I'd rather be honest than promise something I can't guarantee. My current estimate is roughly one to two years in Early Access. The real answer depends on player feedback and how the content grows I would rather stay in Early Access longer than release a full version that isn't ready.”

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

“The main difference between the full version and Early Access will mainly be the variety of animals, locations, and objects, while I'm also working on strengthening this system and helping players build a better connection with the game's world.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The core gameplay loop is fully playable from start to finish: you earn coins and spend them to furnish your own permanent home (I'm working on a pet feeding system for the future).”

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

“I plan to keep the price the same during and after Early Access.”

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

“I'm always in touch with the community via Discord throughout development. If you have any development suggestions, complaints, requests, or feedback about the game, you can always reach me on Discord.”

About This Game

Paws & Shine: Design and Decorate!

You're the traveling decorator of a world full of cats. When the phone rings in your little house in town, a new space on a faraway island is waiting for your touch. Pick up the phone, hit the road, unload the box; the rest is entirely up to you.

Make Every Space Feel Like Home

Every island is a new space, every box a fresh start. Nobody tells you where the furniture goes; remove what you don't like, try whatever you want.

• Open the box and place items however you like; no timers, no failure, no wrong answers

• Every placement earns you money; leave not when the job is done, but when it feels right

• Changed your mind? Move the item or return it for a full refund; you lose nothing.

Build Your Own Home

Everything you earn on the islands flows back into your own home.

• Furnish your own house piece by piece with the money you earn

• Every island you visit sends a small keepsake back home; over time, your house becomes a map of everywhere you've been

• Your town lives on your real-world clock: the sun rises with you, windows light up as it gets dark, the street keeps flowing all day

Capture the Moment

When a corner turns out exactly the way you wanted, don't let that moment slip away.

• Save your favorite arrangements with the in-game photo mode, and share them if you like

Your town lives the same day you do: play in the morning and you'll meet the joggers, play at night and the windows will be glowing. The town takes it slow; so can you.
