Everholm Opens Its Doors Today With Full Release
Stepping into an unfamiliar but familiar land
Spirited Away Into A Mysterious Island
Meet The Everfolk
A new farming-life simulator with a mysterious twist just arrived! Everholm has made its full release today on Steam, and it follows the young protagonist Lilly, a young girl in search for her long-lost sister, Melanie. During her search, she suddenly finds herself spirited away into the cozy but strange island of Everholm through a magical portal. Lilly could swear that this is her first time on this faraway island, but each and every one of the residents seems to know who she is. However, this might just be the only lead she has to find Melanie…in the meantime, she settles into her new home, and hopefully finds even more clues about her sister’s whereabouts through the Everfolk.
Go through an adventure with Lilly—you can go exploring, farming, fishing, tending to livestock, and crafting various products from your produce. Turn a dreary abandoned home into a homestead you can proudly call yours, all while making your own place in the Everholm community. Besides growing a thriving farm, relationships with the townsfolk are also equally important. This small, 20-person community is full of people with distinct personalities…and a forgotten past that you can help them recover. With each interaction and past remembered, Lilly comes ever closer to unraveling the hidden secrets of Everholm, and what connections she and her sister have with the town.
However, not all is sunshine and rainbows as there are also more secrets to be uncovered within the island’s underworld, a procedurally-generated dungeon full of monsters and challenges to overcome. Does Melanie hide far beneath the surface? Get to the bottom of it and see if the eerie depths have any answers for you. No matter what path you take, there will always be an answer for you somewhere.
We are so proud, and so emotional right now! đź’śđź’ś

Everholm is our little baby, we hope you stay with us and watch the game grow to incredible heights!
We came a long way and we got sooo much support from everyone, it warms my heart!
Mihajlo Djokic, developer Chonky Loaf’s lead designer, shared that “With Everholm, we set out to create a game that looks cozy on the surface but has layers of mystery waiting to be discovered. We wanted players to feel at home as they build their homestead and befriend the Everfolk, but also feel a sense of curiosity and suspense as they dig deeper into the island's secrets.” Everholm is also the studio’s debut title, and has been previously showcased in several events. They have even reached a 100,000 wishlist milestone just hours before the release!
Everholm is available to purchase on Steam for an introductory price of $17.99, a 10% discount from its usual price. The reviews for the game so far have been positive, and it’s continuing to rake in some good reception throughout. It’s time to jump in and explore the world of Everholm!
