About This Demo

The storm scattered a lifetime of shells across the shore.

A fierce storm blew in, scattering your mother's entire seashell collection across the shore. You decide to restore the collection before she gets back home. Step out of your cozy seaside house, wander the sun-bleached beach, and gather every shell by hand, by sieve, and by careful excavation. Carry each one home to be cleaned and shelved exactly where it belongs, so everything is in place when she returns.

A Coastline Full of Shells

Explore 3,500 individually placed shells scattered across the shore, tucked into tide pools, buried in sand, and piled against the rocks. Thirty-six species across five families are waiting to be found, cleaned with your tools, and added to your growing collection.

Build Your Collection, Your Way

Every cabinet, every shelf, every row has a place for exactly the right shell. Fill your display cases, complete full species and full families, and watch your once empty gallery become a museum of your own making.

A Living Shoreline

Watch a full day-night cycle wash over the coast as you work. Restore the shoreline, uncover fossils buried beneath the fossilebeds, and keep a companion at your side as you slowly turn chaos into order.

Grow at Your Own Pace

Unlock new abilities and upgrade points as you gather, increase your carrying capacity, and enjoy the shoreline. All without time limits, the risk of failure, or the pressure to rush.

About This Demo

A first taste of Seashell Hoarder.

Explore the seaside setting, collect shells, and carry them to the workshop. Match your finds to the correct shelves and watch the collection take shape. The demo includes the game's core collecting and shelving loop, with upgrades earned as you make progress. Play at your own pace; there is no countdown timer.

What is included in this demo?
The demo takes place in the same beach and workshop as the full game. It ends after you correctly shelve 500 shells. At that point, an end screen appears.

How does it differ from the full game?
The full game lets you continue beyond the demo's 500 correctly shelved shells and work toward completing the entire collection. The demo uses a separate save file from the full game.
