To celebrate the International Kids Day, we are offering a perfect bundle of family friendly games at a very lucrative price! From a school headmaster simulator to a tropical island adventure - everyone will find a game to their liking!
We are excited to present our new project - Nested Lands! It is a completely different style of game for us. With this project we test our limits in game development. From the bright and chilling life simulator we moved to the dark and hopeless survival action RPG - Nested Lands.
In the medieval world consumed by a devastating plague that changed all forms of living, you will have to survive and fight for every breath you may take. There is no place for hope and yet there is plenty of room for cruelty. Every shadow hides dangerous madmans and bloodthirsty bandits, every corner of this world is doomed to decay. Resist or fade away!
How long can you survive in a frightening and hostile world? Explore gloomy and atmospheric locations, build your own settlement, fight for your life by improving your skills, building a forepost, and learning your enemy’s weaknesses, discover the mysteries and find answers about the past of this dark universe.
Please note that unlike Spirit of the Island, age rating for Nested Lands is 18+ If you have reached this age, we invite you to join our community on Discord to follow the game's development from the very beginning. Be the first to know the news, discuss everything with the community and our team, and leave your feedback so we could build a great game together! The very first dev diary is about to be released and we can't wait to share more details! We hope you will deeply enjoy all the aspects of Nested Lands!
Update v2.1.1.1 - Japanese Localisation and Fixes!
Hello!
We are excited to unveil new update, where we added long awaited Japanese translation for the game!
Added Japanese translation!
Players can now sit on chairs. Interact with the chair to sit on it! Please note, that benches aren't included, only chairs;
Added new launch options: now you don't need to select the Beach Resort DLC or manage it when playing in a cross-platform version - just pick a version you would like to play when you launch the game. No re-downloads or anything else. The only thing that has to be managed manually now is Adventureland DLC - you will still need to check it in game's properties if you wish to play it;
Fixed a bug when house upgrade not showing the correct coins cost;
Fixed wrong “rebase” icon when trying to ove nearby objects;
Fixed “Small Engine” item not being able to stack up in inventory (please take the item from the chest and put it back in, so the fix applies);
Console Version Goes Live at 15:00 UTC Today!
Hello!
The next chapter in the Spirit of the Island adventure is about to begin. Console versions of the game with a full Cross-Play support will be available today at 15:00 UTC/08:00AM PST.
A small reminder about Cross-Play and how it works
With Cross-Play, you will be able to play the coop mode of Spirit of the Island with all your friends, regardless of the platform (PC, Xbox, PlayStation, Switch). You don't need to do anything special to enable this mode on consoles, but on PC there are some steps that need to be done before you can play with consoles.
Please note that this is temporary until console edition gets all updates. 1. Right click on Spirit of the Island in your Steam library. - If you are playing on GOG, then go to game settings and untick "DLC" - For EGS, you just need to launch basic Spirit of the Island game in your library. 2. Go to "Properties" 3. Go to "DLC" section. 4. Disable all DLCs. 5. Launch your game. 6. Before starting a new save, make sure to untick "use DLC save" checkbox. 7. Proceed to play!
Why you can't use DLCs for now?
To release console version faster, we had to exclude DLCs and other updates. Please rest assured that all content will arrive not long after the release, together with the new story. Adventureland will arrive as a separate paid DLC, just like on PC.
We hope you enjoy the console version of the game!
Console Release Date Reveal
We are excited to announce the release date for console versions of Spirit of the Island!
Sales will start on October 19th. Spirit of the Island will be simultaneously available on PS4/5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S|X and Nintendo Switch, published by Plug IN and Meridiem (digital and retail versions).

Price — €24,99/$24,99, available in all regions. Languages: EN/DE/FR/ES/RU/ZHCN/PTBR/JA/KO.
All console users will be able to play with each other and PC players across the globe, thanks to the implementation of online co-op Cross-Play features. So you won’t have to worry about you playing on a PS5 and your friend playing on PC or Xbox or Switch — you will be able to play together and enjoy co-op mode seamlessly. We hope you are excited to play with your friends anywhere you want, be it PC or consoles, at home or on the go. Spirit of the Island will be the very first game in the genre to implement this. And don’t forget the mobile version, which will receive the exact same feature set and a crossplay capability.
Together with the DLC, we are releasing new Quality of Life features:
The tech is here: now you can create buildings without moving resources to your character’s inventory;
Tourists can sit on the chairs now. The function for players will be added a bit later;
All fruit trees will show their names when you get close to them;
Items like fishing rods will stack in your inventory;

We hope you enjoy your time in Adventureland!
Adventureland DLC, New Story, and Quality of Life Changes Release Dates
Hello adventurers!
We have a lot of news so it’s highly recommended to grab a cup of your favourite drink before you start reading. There are tons of new and cool stuff packed in this announcement. Let’s get started!
First and foremost our new DLC — Adventureland. Mark the date: 03.10.2023 (October 3rd, 2023). That’s when Adventureland will launch for all players around the globe. Release time will be announced at a later date. The base price is $2,99/€2,99 with a 10% launch discount and an additional 5% loyalty discount for all owners of the base game.
Adventureland unlocks a whole new entertainment industry for you to use and enjoy. Build your own amusement park with 7 unique attractions and interact with your visitors like never before. Decorate your park, build pavements, add fancy lights and plants. The fancier, the better: your level of decoration will directly impact the profits your park brings. We can’t wait to see all your creations!
The best of all is that unlike the first DLC, Adventureland doesn’t need a new save game to function — you can jump straight into new stuff without any worries. Another cool thing is how we implemented co-op mode: only the host needs to own the DLC. The second player can join the game without their own copy and still enjoy all new content for free.
That’s it for Adventureland. We hope that you are excited for all upcoming content and extended possibilities that it will bring to the Spirit of the Island.
Next we’d like to talk about Quality of Life and Beach Resort. We had a ton of requests from our dear community and we are excited to reveal what will be arriving as part of the upcoming free update. Very important: all new Quality of Life features will be available on PC first and come to consoles at a later date. The reason for that is certification. If we add all these new features right now, it would postpone the release by another 1.5-2 months. We don’t want this to happen, so we will add everything later in a free DLC or an update, whichever we can release quicker. We hope you understand.
New Quality of Life features list:
The tech is here: now you can create buildings without moving resources to your character’s inventory;
Players and tourists can sit on the chairs;
All fruit trees will show their names when you get close to them;
Items like fishing rods will stack in your inventory;
Chests will have more than one backpack in coop;
You can move objects on your island now. Even the palm trees, yes;
We added new special effects in the Museum;
We removed lightning strike effect during rain to improve performance;
We’ve changed how museum stores items to adjust for better text fonts;
Option to invert the scroll wheel direction on the item hotbar.
You thought that’s it? NO! We have a few more exciting things to announce. Next up: New Story.
In the second half of November (final date TBA), we will release another big update that will bring a brand new main storyline and an updated side quest system in Spirit of the Island. We’ve completely reworked the story, but don’t want to spoil anything, so you’ll have to wait and see everything for yourself later. Important: to play the new story, you will need to create a new savegame, because it is so different from the old one that they cannot be merged together.
Together with the new story, we will bring a second round of highly requested Quality of Life changes, which are taking a bit longer to implement:
Inventory drag and drop for items;
New items, such as beach umbrellas, chairs, and other new decorative items for the tourists.
Together with the new story, we’ll also add Japanese translations and we will preserve the old storyline in all available languages. With that, you will be able to enjoy both old and new storylines and keep your savegame. We’ll also add an option to choose between old and new story modes when you start a new game, so all new players can try both and compare. For your very first playthrough, we are strongly recommending picking the new one though.
Thank you so much for sticking together with us! Spirit of the Island has grown to be the game it’s today thanks to YOU, our dear community. We are truly grateful for your feedback and inputs and we hope that you will still be with us in our next journeys too *wink wink*.
Have a pleasant day!
Adventureland is Coming Soon, Console Roadmap, New Story and Future Plans
Hello friends!
We are excited to reveal the store page for the upcoming DLC — Adventureland!
Turn your Island into a luxurious resort with its own Amusement Park! With the new DLC, you can create 8 new amusements and monetize your land even further. Decorate your park and invite all your visitors for an exciting ride. Wishlist and learn more about the DLC by following the link above.
To answer some of the questions regarding the DLC:
You don't need a new save game to play. Everything will work as is; In multiplayer, if the host owns the DLC, the other player will also be able to create all new buildings and try the new mechanics. For a single player, you need your own personal copy.
Adventureland will open brand new horizons and further expand on the sandbox experience that Spirit of the Island provides to you. We hope you are excited for it!
The second cool news is the console release roadmap of Spirit of the Island.
Spirit of the Island will feature full cross-play between all platforms, be it Xbox, PC, Switch, or PlayStation. So don’t worry about being separated from your friends on different platforms, because now you can start the multiplayer adventure on PC with your friend joining from their preferred console of choice. Important: save game files can’t be used in-between different platforms. For example, if your save game was created on PC, you can’t move it to the console (the file itself).
Around the same time as the console version goes out, the new storyline will be ready for Spirit of the Island. It will feature a completely rewritten story which will be available in both multiplayer and single-player. We are currently working on translations and new gameplay mechanics for the new story.
With the release of the new storyline, Spirit of the Island will be feature complete. What does that mean for the game? All new updates that come out will be focused on bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements only. Our development team is currently working on a new project which we can’t talk about yet, but it’s going to be an exciting game for sure. Of course, we will remain active on Discord and Steam to read all your questions and potential ideas — don’t worry, these won’t go to waste and they will be used in the future *wink*. We’ll have another announcement about it later in the future.
Last, but certainly not least — Steam Trading Cards! Yes, that’s right, SOTI is finally getting them and we are currently hands full creating the emojis, backgrounds, and the cards themselves. We know that everyone in the community wanted them for a long time and they will finally become a reality!
Don’t forget to wishlist Adventureland and have fun on the island!
Spirit of the Island Store Price Update
Hello adventurers!
We are excited to announce that we will be reducing store prices for Spirit of the Island, This reduction will be permanent, New baseline price will be 17.99USD/17.49EUR. For other regions - please check your store page to see the updated price.
We bet that you all have a question - why? There are two main reasons for this big change:
1. Some game developers tend to increase their prices to counter inflation and other economic factors nowadays. We have decided to do the opposite and instead make Spirit of the Island more affordable for the players. We sincerely think that we'd be better off by having a more active and alive community, than by making a few more $.
2. As many of you know, console version with crossplay is coming later this year (Q4 2023), with mobile version to follow later on in the future. This is also the reason why we want to SOTI to be a more affordable game for everyone. Won't it be fun to play with all your friends no matter the platform of choice?
We hope that you are excited by these news. Stay tuned for the updates: we are working hard on the new storyline (adding it into the game and making various cool changes to make it even more fun) and our upcoming DLC.
Have a nice day!

Hi!
We've prepared a new update with some fixes and QoL additions.

Fixes for DLC only:
Fixed wrong treasure places when treasure chests were placed under the terrain. Fixed problem with duplicating letters from the NPCs.
