Set in a cozy coastal town, Seaside Wash is an immersive cleaning game, but instead of powerwashing residential homes, you’re tidying up boats! Enjoy a soothing soundtrack as you turn grungy ships back to glorious vessels. You’ll start your small business by restoring tiny fishing boats. Once you have the tools and clientele, you’ll be cleaning up giant cargo ships, too!
Seaside Wash features all kinds of fun things to clean. Remove rust, salt buildup, pesky barnacles, and more from hulls, masts, decks, and even the interiors. Take on cleaning jobs that fit your tool set, then complete them at your own pace. There’s no rush, so enjoy slowing down. Upgrade your tools so you can adequately restore larger spaces and use specialized tools for different surfaces and grime. You can’t just blast away all contaminants with a water hose, after all. And if you want to take a break between jobs, go fishing or work out with your punching bag!

Tideborne Haven is a cozy pixel art farming sim that takes place on a fragile, dying island. You arrive by boat to find the shoreline polluted, the reefs dying, the rainforest on the verge of collapse, and the local community, who are doing their best. You’re the new island caretaker, so your monumental job is to restore everything. Clean the beaches, remove invasive species, rehabilitate native animals, and more. On land, this game plays like a familiar farm sim. Build relationships with the locals, unlock upgrades, and rebuild a failing town!
Underwater, though, Tideborne Haven offers a unique experience. Beneath the waves, you’ll farm coral to restore it. Explore lovely kelp forests as you explore the ocean, and even find some shipwrecks and ancient ruins. It will take a lot of work to restore the island, of course. Balancing the water chemistry is vital. Breeding and releasing fish to bolster the underwater ecosystem is necessary. As is controlling algae growth, rescuing injured animals, and eliminating pests. Most important of all is finding out which of the townspeople are working with smugglers who aren’t interested in helping bring the island back to life. You could thwart their efforts, or perhaps even join them!



Tideborne Haven is currently on Kickstarter to raise money. Support the campaign to unlock things like merfolk romance, companion pets, animal journals, and more. You can find the game listed on Steam, where you can add it to your Wishlist, too. Meanwhile, check out the trailer!
