Twinkleby

Completed

Twinkleby is a laid-back decoration game set in a nostalgic, cozy universe with an absurdist twist; you progress through an archipelago of floating islands, build neighbourhood dioramas, and throw whatever items and creatures you don’t want over the island’s edge. Twinkleby is a universe where the mood changes on a whim, where you create elaborate environments by controlling the soundtrack, scenery and lighting, and build dreamscapes that range from eerie and gothic to adorable and romantic.

In Twinkleby, the world is your inventory. Throw anything you don’t want off the side of the island, and it will be returned to your collections. Rebuild, redesign, and unlock the full range of customisation for scenery and items, including colours, backdrops, weathers and seasons. As you customise the scenery you change the soundtrack, and gradually gain full control over the ambience of your dreamscapes.

Your islands and decoration choices will attract a variety of whimsy new residents, who all have traits that affect how they interact with the environment and each other. Some of these neighbours are rare sights in the archipelago, and only the most dedicated player will collect them all. Like everything else in Twinkleby, any neighbour can be evicted at any time – just throw their luggage off the side of the island, and they’ll take the hint.

It might be a good idea to not be too hasty with the evictions though, because every neighbour carries gifts in their bag, and should you make them happy, they will reward you in return.

✦ Progress along Twinkleby’s star chart to unlock new islands to make your own, and gather map fragments to discover hidden islands along the way.

✦ Grow your item collection to decorate your islands, and return items to your inventory by throwing them off the island’s edge.

✦ Furnish your houses to attract and collect new neighbours (common and rare), and should you grow tired of their company – evict them at a moment’s notice!

✦ Make your neighbours happy, and they’ll reward you handsomely with a variety of items, including paintings, keys, and even houses!

✦ Compose the soundtrack of your dioramas using the weathers, seasons and backdrops, and create unique audio-visual dreamscapes for each new island.

✦ Collect the shooting stars known as Stellars and spend them in Molligan’s Antiques on whatever catches your eye! Generate more Stellars by making your neighbours happy, and find new, secret ways to make the stars fall.

✦ You’re not the only one throwing things into space in the Twinkleby archipelago; catch chests that fall past your islands, and loot them to expand your collections.

✦ When you have delved deep into space, you will be able to play on parallel islands – new clean-slate versions of the islands you've found. Keep exploring new, creative ways to decorate with all the stuff you've gathered!

✦Capture your magnificent creations and adorable moments in the photo mode.
