About this game
Tideborne Haven is a cozy, story-driven pixel art life sim set on a fragile tropical island on the brink of collapse.
You arrive by boat to polluted shores, dying reefs, a struggling rainforest, and a community barely holding it together.
As the islands newest caretaker, you’ll restore what’s been lost - cleaning beaches, farming coral, removing invasive species, rebuilding the town, rehabilitating wildlife, and bringing the ecosystem back to life.
Above water, Tideborne Haven plays like a classic life sim. Build relationships, earn trust, unlock upgrades, and help rebuild a run-down island community - while planting mangroves, reviving rainforest habitats, and supporting pollination.
Below the surface, a different world unfolds. Dive into coral reefs, kelp forests, shipwrecks, and ancient ruins - managing oxygen and environmental risks as you uncover rare species, lost relics, and hidden storylines.
KICKSTARTER LAUNCHING 2nd June2026 - Follow Us on KICKSTARTER now
Restoration is in your hands...
Rescue the surviving coral, balance water chemistry, and farm stronger, more resilient traits before reintroducing them into the wild - watching once-dead reefs slowly return to life
Breed and release fish to support reef recovery, helping control algae, pests, and ecosystem balance.
Rescue injured marine animals, treat them, and return them to the ocean - directly improving the island’s biodiversity.
The people of Tideborne Haven each have their own lives, struggles, secrets, and motivations. Most want to protect the island.
However, one of them is working with a smuggler for profit - and it’s up to you to uncover who… or if you feel like it... even join them.
As the ecosystem heals, so does the islands community.
Restore a museum of ancient artifacts, uncover forgotten lore, and explore the truth behind long rumoured myths and mermaid legends.
This is a game about care, curiosity, and quiet impact - where every action you take can either positively or negatively impact the island.
