Cozy "survival" community builder; it's slightly more complicated than what I'd truly consider casual, but there is no fail state. Hungry citizens just work a fraction of the time, but you don't lose them. Progression is based on getting new materials, this is not at all trivial and you'll have to talk to NPCs to get hints to where to find them. There are complex production lines, sometimes with 4-5 steps, and citizens can be assigned to specific jobs - all in all the management part works very well. There is a research tree that unlocks new items and buildings, and clear progression. There are very few things I think could be done better, for example having a better overview of what is working and what is stuck on inputs, or the industrialization which kinda pulls me out of the cozy vibe - not due to the machinery, but rather the density and expanse of cranes, generators etc. Also some materials require travelling to another island or diving, and for some material lists it can be a lot of time spent running back and forth to double check what you need for the next step. Overall I would thoroughly recommend this to anyone looking for a fairly laid-back game to play to wind down, that still gives you goals you can work toward.

This game is a lot of fun. There are a plenty of materials and products to manufacture. I definitely recommend it, with a few caveats. 1. Part of the fun of these types of games is the opportunity to create a settlement that reflects your own tastes. Havendock restricts player creativity by providing a pre-planned footprint for the settlement. I would prefer if I could place platforms, raised platforms, docks, bridges, and boathouses where I want them to be, rather than where the game insists that they must be. If the developer insists on providing blueprints for the player to follow, there needs to be more variety. Because I've started over twice and I'm already bored with the existing layout. 2. The game becomes tedious once islands become available. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the sense of exploration and discovery. However, I do not like is that certain industries are restricted to specific islands. It's fussy and annoying mechanic. Especially since I can't assign settlers to live and work on those islands in order to keep up production. 3. Likewise, transportation is fussy. There are boats. However, settlers don't seem to use the boats. The player is the one who has to go back and forth to set up production. There are birds that can handle the logistics, I believe. Yet, once again, I would like to assign settlers to live on the outer islands and to ferry items back and forth by boat. Those are my main concerns about the game. Otherwise, I've been having a lot of fun setting up production chains and growing my settlement. The game runs well, the art style is endearing, and I love, love, love the underwater elements. The developer has a winner on their hands. It can be even better with additional worlds and another look at how the islands could better integrate with the home base. Thank you for taking the time to make a very enjoyable game. Oh, and thank you for adding a pooch! :D

If your ADHD brain needs a dopamine fix, you've come to the right place. Cute little chill game that does the "make x thing to build y to obtain z" loop very well. Reminded me of Graveyard Keeper in that way (but i enjoyed this a lot more than that game). The only negative thing I have to say is I didn't really like having to register an account and do a cloud save through the game itself rather than Steam. I swap between playing on a desktop PC and a laptop and found that part a bit annoying. I would much rather it save to the steam cloud.

I love any game that lets me just exist and vibe for awhile, and this one certainly does that. It's tedious in the good way, relaxing in it's mindlessness. Though things get tricky once you hit the pollution stage. And the developers seem to actually listen to their community, as well as doing holiday events for free.

Very fun but a little cramped for space until you can manage your areas better, diving hut next to smelter next to refinery with some storage close, etc. One of those "I should stop playing and get some work done. Just one more hour can't hurt though" games.
