Every guest is a person
Backpackers, families, couples and the occasional yacht owner, each with their own budget, taste and idea of a good holiday.
An island, a jetty
Turn a stretch of tropical coast into a resort people will cross an ocean for. Lay the paths, put up the rooms, open the restaurants and the dive shop, and watch what your guests actually do with their afternoon.
Backpackers, families, couples and the occasional yacht owner, each with their own budget, taste and idea of a good holiday.
Diesel gensets, then wind and solar. A bore, then desalination. Everything you serve comes in on a barge that sails on a timetable.
Cleaners, chefs, lifeguards and maintenance crews. Morale decides who turns up, and the pay you offer decides who stays.
A wet season and a dry one, and cyclones that find small islands. Weather changes who books and what the sea does to your breakwater.
A container over the side. A generator throwing a rod. A film crew wanting the beach. Each one a decision with a price and a deadline.
The island adviser tells you the single most useful thing to do next, because day two and day two hundred need different moves.
On the island

Guests wander the paths, queue at the kiosk, swim off the beach and sail in on the ferry. Every one of them is out there, doing their own thing.

Start with family cabins and a beachside lodge. Earn the rating that opens reef-view resorts, a marina, and a hotel for the yacht crowd.

See where every dollar comes from and where it goes: rooms, restaurants, shops, wages, diesel. Then decide what to build next.

Your rating is what guests think of their stay: satisfaction, scenery, variety, service and cleanliness. Win them over to unlock the rest of the island.
Just the game
