Vote for Moonstone Island in the Steam Awards!

It's that time, Villagers!

Steam Awards have rolled around again and we're up for votes in the "Labor of Love" category - which is for games that continually add things past launch. If you think we fit the bill, we'd love your vote
We hope you're enjoying the recent mini update that dropped this week and would love if you shared any of your fun screenshots with us on BlueSky or @moonstoneisland on X

New Mini-Update, now Available!

From: Update Time @ Moonstone Island dot com
To: YOU!
Subject: RE: Free mini-update!

To whom it may concern,

Hey! Who's in the mood for some cozy games? I know we are. And hey, there's one right here! It's called Moonstone Island, and it's full of kindness, diversity, and adorable lil guys shaped like toasters and fishbowls!

But wait! There's more! Today, we're releasing a free mini-update with some lovely new additions to make the game *even better*. And they said it couldn't be done!



Here's whatcha get:
  • One new Spirit (his name is HOPPOT and he's a HOTPOT)
  • One new house skin (mushroom house!)
  • A deck reset potion that lets you clear out your Spirits' decks, reset them back to their starter cards, and rebuild from scratch
  • Pick up chests that contain items (we're relatively certain that no other game lets you do this. That's probably not true but we still feel very cool about it)
  • The ability to swap the NPC Spirits (if you change your mind, or have better Spirit match-ups)
  • New basement door (it looks cuter)
  • Numkey shortcuts on PC for the tool wheel
  • BEST OF ALL, the feature everyone's been asking for: LOOPING MUSIC!!!! You can now head into the options and set it to looping if you desire. This feature will be on by default, because everyone seems to prefer it. We can admit when we're wrong!


We're also in the Steam Autumn Sale, so there's never been a better time to buy yourself and all your friends, family, enemies, and pets a copy of Moonstone Island.

Here are the discounts as of 1:00PM PT:
  • Base Game: 35% off
  • DLC: 20-35% off


We hope you enjoy this lil update, and don't forget to take care of yourselves!

Best wishes,
– Kate, Community Manager and best-wishes-er
