Press release:
London, United Kingdom – November 9th, 2023.
Publisher Jetpack Collective and Snowcastle Games, an independent Oslo-based game developer, are today very excited and happy to announce that their cozy co-op, Earthlock spinoff, “Ikonei Island: An Earthlock Adventure“, is now available for PC via Steam and EGS for $24.99/€24.50/£20.99.

For console versions, Xbox will release on November 23rd, PlayStation on February 8th, 2024 and Switch will follow at a later date. Grab the launch day bundle including the wholesome and cosy game Spells and Secrets on Steam today.

Immerse yourself in a beautiful world full of cosy creature comforts with the breathtaking soundtrack composed by Theo Nogueira of Snowcastle Games which will be available November 23rd on all streaming platforms including Steam. The album contains a compilation of all the music present in the game, taken from a semi-procedural music system into a full linear soundtrack.

Explore the joys of farming with the excitement of building your own unique home. The game delivers a whole host of creative features, including the ability to build, upgrade and expand your home to your own vision, whether that be a cosy cottage with a garden, or a cute campsite with a sprawling farm. From lush gardens to cosy interiors, the power to shape your living space is in your own hands and the possibilities are endless.

Ikonei Island is a gorgeous, cosy adventure that you can play solo or with your friends. You explore the beautiful island, bond with magical creatures and harness their abilities, uncover hidden mysteries, collect items to craft a charming home, battle pirates and more. The game is reminiscent of cosy classics like Stardew Valley, Animal Crossing and My Time at Portia, but brings its own depth of narrative as it taps into the enchanting themes originally explored in Snowcastle’s Earthlock.

‘’We are so excited to finally launch Ikonei Island: An Earthlock Adventure on PC, with the game coming to Xbox, PlayStation and Switch at later dates,’’ said Oscar Clark, Jetpack Collective.

‘’Dive headfirst into the cute and cosy world of Ikonei Island, experience creature comforts and creative home building.’’

“Creating the sonic world of Ikonei Island, from its soundtrack to ambient sounds, has been one of my proudest projects,” said Theo Nogueira, Composer and Audio Director, Snowcastle Games. “My aim was to capture the essence of characters, creatures, and the mood of the Island and Earthlock Universe, and I believe we’ve succeeded.”
