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?

“We are an indie studio, all working in our free time, with a proof of concept but little idea of how this concept will be welcomed by the gaming community. We are using early access to test this concept out on the gaming community.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“No longer than one year.”

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

“We have a list of features we plan to bring such as wildlife, building upgrades and a villager relationship tree; we also want to polish off existing features including, most notably, AI animations and behaviour. For a full list and to stay up to date with progress, please join our discord server.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“A full game loop with all major game states, the first map designed and game-ready (albeit not entirely polished), a decent variation of AI character appearance, unlocks for all 6 skill trees complete until level 50, a stable – albeit not entirely bug-free – experience, all four island gods implemented along with their associated events, a minimum of 50 unique world events, varied social and entertainment behaviour, and villager multiplication to allow for expansion across the island.”

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

“Yes, but not significantly so.”

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

“We want the community to play a huge role in shaping the game. We will regularly recruit testers from the community, as well as developing a pipeline that will see popular feature requests evolve into planned features whose implementation can be tracked live.”

About This Game

After their village was thoroughly wrecked by mysterious invaders, Chief Barbara and her ragtag crew of survivors make a daring escape on a stolen boat. After days of drifting, they finally wash up on Shoni Island—a land full of peculiar characters, baffling puzzles, and unexpected challenges. Your mission? Adapt, build, and upskill to escape this fantastical island.

Immerse Yourself in a Living, Breathing Ecosystem

Shoni Island isn’t just a backdrop; it’s a dynamic world where NPCs have lives of their own—whether you’re watching or not. Get to know these unique, opinionated characters as you manage your settlement.

Build, Farm, and Worship with a Twist

Guide your villagers through essential tasks like construction, farming, and the delightfully bizarre practice of god worship. Balance their needs for food, resources, and social interaction while keeping the island’s moody gods—Gaia (earth), Faeris (fire), Simbi (water), and Zephyr (wind)—on your side. Their mood towards you can make or break your settlement.

Enjoy a Stress-Free World with Genuine Humour

Shoni Island is designed with player well-being at its core, offering a relaxed experience full of quirky humour and AI-driven social interactions. The game brings a nostalgic touch to strategy with its engaging puzzles and whimsical charm.

Tackle Challenging Puzzles

The island is home to a range of unique puzzles that will truly test your strategic thinking. Each one is crafted to challenge and entertain as you uncover the secrets needed to escape.

In Shoni Island, every decision matters, from managing your villagers' changeable moods to solving intricate puzzles. Dive in, relax and experience a world where strategy meets humor in the most unexpected ways!
