About the Game

You wake up on a small island with no company except the local animals and lapping waves.
Time to make yourself at home!

Garden of the Sea is a chilled-out life sim where you play, craft, and explore at your own pace. Discover new islands and unlock the mysteries of the ocean and its inhabitants, or stay where you are and let things gently take their course. You’ll be fine either way. There are no fail states here, just different ways to win.


  • Cultivate your own garden, full of flowers and delicious veggies you can cook!
  • Build and upgrade your very own home, adding decorations and furnishings!

  • Complete quests to make progress and unlock rewards!
  • Befriend and nurture local creatures – birds, fish and more!

  • Explore the surrounding islands in your boat!
  • Become one with the world through the power of reactional music!

...and a whole lot more!
