Playing together

One person hosts, everyone else joins. The host's PC keeps everybody's money, stash and gear, so stick with the same host to keep your progress.

Same house or LAN

Press Host. Friends on the same network press Join and type the host PC's local IP (for example 192.168.1.20). The pause menu shows your address.

Over the internet

Forward UDP port 7777 on the host's router to the host PC, then friends join with your public IP. Allow the game through Windows Firewall when it asks.

No port forwarding?

Use a tunnel like playit.gg: create a UDP tunnel to your PC's port 7777 and give friends the tunnel address instead.

The game uses UDP port 7777. Only forward it while you are hosting, and only to the PC that hosts.

FAQ

Is it multiplayer?

Yes. One friend hosts from the main menu and everyone else joins with the host's IP address. It is built for 2–4 people on one small island, with proximity voice chat.

What does "Early Access" mean here?

The whole loop works and the island is finished, but it is still being polished. Expect rough edges, the odd bug, and updates you can follow in the changelog.

Where is my money and stash saved?

On whoever hosts. The host's machine is the source of truth for everyone's wallet, stash, gear and the shared house decor, so play with the same host to keep your progress.

Can I play solo?

Sure. Press Host and you are playing on your own island. It is a very relaxing place to be antisocial.

Does it run on Mac or Linux?

Not yet. The Early Access build is Windows 10/11, 64-bit only.

Is this real?

It is a video game for adults (18+). Nothing is sold, nothing is real, and no seagulls were harmed. Please follow the laws where you live.
