Spirit of the Island

Free DLC - Beach Resort - Is Now Available for Download!

Hello, adventurers!

We have an exciting surprise for everyone. Our first DLC - Beach Resort - is now available for download for FREE! You've read that right: we've decided to make our first content DLC free of charge for all players.



So, what's inside? A lot! Prepare to expand your creative horizons.

Spirit of The Island: Beach Resort DLC will give you an option to pick a brand new starting location: Beach Resort. Almost all of the new Island's area can be used for building (even the beaches!) - just imagine what kind of a resort you can create there! Combine it with the new increased tourist limits and the luxurious dream will finally become a reality. We can't wait to see your creations, so please share some screeshots later!

Very important: Beach Resort is only available when you start a brand new save game, due to some technical limitations. But isn't it nice to have a fresh start once in a while?

Hi friends!

  • Water drinking in the tutorial section won't cause you to get stuck anymore;
  • Sometimes your house wasn't saving its new position after you rotated it and reloaded the game - this was fixed;
  • You can now equip backpacks from storage chests;
  • Moved some boxes at Pilot's house and also fixed his first respawn position;
  • Fixed a an old abuse that allowed you to duplicate bags from inventory to storage - thanks again for reporting it to us, it was a tricky one;
  • Your mail won't get stuck in mailbox now;
  • Your character is now completely immune to damage in dialogue or cutscene sections;
  • Spirit Ring now properly increases your HP;
  • Upgraded our tourists' walking ability, especially at Pier;
  • Fixed some texts for quests and UI parts.
