Exploration! Crafting! Piracy! Ikonei Island: An Earthlock Adventure Is Now In Open Beta

Taking inspiration from Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley, Ikonei Island: An Earthlock Adventure is now in an open beta – a game about thwarting pirates and befriending lil’ animals.

The premise should be familiar: ‘compelling exploration, resource gathering, crafting and customisation systems’, though the focus is on the relationships with the animals, providing access to new areas on the island.

To add a further twist, unlike its chilled brethren, Ikonei Island: An Earthlock Adventure features plenty of pirate encounters and expect to battle monsters. According to the deets here, the multiplayer aspect is also a key feature, says developer Snowcastle Games.

Here’s a fairly recent trailer:

Ikonei Island: An Earthlock Adventure won’t just be for Early Access on Steam, but it’ll also be heading to the PS4/5, the Xboxeseses and even the Nintendo Switch. Watch this space, well, a new post, for updates.
