A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

This is the demo of a horror visual novel which crosses the aesthetic and setting of Animal Crossing with the slow-burn psychological horror of games like Doki Doki Literature Club and Cooking Companions.


Turning away from the stress of the big city, you set sail for Horizon Island, a place far from civilisation, where a small community of residents live a simple life in tune with nature. As their new chef, you will ensure that everyone gets fed. It's not so bad. Not when there's enough food to go around, at least. 




This Demo includes:

  • The first season of the game, Spring, along with the start of Summer, when all is well on Horizon Island. Roughly a third of a full playthrough, ~60 minutes long.
  • The chance to meet the main cast and start to build those special relationships which will really take you far in life.
  • Collectible achievements to reward you for replaying the demo, experimenting with different choices and digging for secrets.

The Full Game will include:

  • 4 Routes - each with their own bloody conclusion.
  • The chance to see a whole other side of your new best friends.
  • 4 seasons, each one a little less plentiful than the last.



Fun Fact:

Did you know that you don't really ever die from starvation? Your body won't let you get to that point. When you're on death's door, your body starts to cannibalise itself, breaking down your muscles for the essential protein it needs to function. You become weaker and weaker as you lose each part of yourself. That's what usually kills you. And that's why it's so hard to come back from the edge.

By the time you reach that point, there's not a lot of you left to bring back.


Content Warnings: This demo contains light gore, themes of starvation and parental neglect, as well as allusions to eating disorders, cannibalism, and insect horror.

Gotta love this one, even when I went in knowing more or less what to expect the build up was pretty good, the characters are very well written from what I could read on the demo, some interesting backstories and world building for the island too.

The cooking minigames are nice but some variety in execution would be nice (I also was expecting them to corrupt but I guess I will have to be patient), the recipe book is a very nice way to read information and keep track about stuff in the game, I actually enjoyed reading a lot.

I equally loved the "dating" sim part and the spooky slow burn, I can't wait for the full thing but I will never forgive you guys for that cliffhanger! (I am kidding I forgive you,  please give me more spider wife)

In the meantime I'll sit here cooking (heh) endless theories about what could be happening, and I'll be keeping an eye (heh, heh) on this game.

Keep up the good work!

Thank you so much for playing our game!
