You begin alone on a small platform in the ocean, collecting floating debris and expanding your base. As castaways arrive, you build a settlement to support them and create a character to lead its growth.
Gather resources, construct facilities, grow and cook food, and provide water for your residents. Recruit settlers to take on work, manage production, and gradually automate tasks as your colony grows.
Research unlocks new buildings and capabilities. Build boats to reach islands with new resources, and use a submarine to explore underwater areas, gather materials, and establish farms.
Players who enjoy Havendock often describe its early resource-gathering and settlement-building loop as absorbing, with a steady stream of tasks and unlocks to pursue. Reviews also praise its cozy, charming tone, island discoveries, and the satisfaction of growing a colony that can automate work. Some players find the later progression less rewarding as resource demands and confusing bottlenecks build up.
Havendock is a cozy colony sim set in the heart of the ocean, where you’ll build a thriving town from the ground up. Welcome new settlers, manage resources, explore new lands, and live your best life. Lead your humble settlement into a high-tech society.
Create your own character. Collect resources from floating debris. Build facilities to become self-sufficient. Arrange your settlement the way you want and at your own pace.
Build farms to grow food and cook delicious meals. Raise and feed animals – make adorable new friends, some of them will help make your settlement work more efficiently!
Welcome new survivors – manage tasks and production to keep everyone happy and healthy. More settlers means more needs to be met, but don't worry. You'll teach your new pals how to work, and they'll help you automate the tasks you like less.
Master mad science – push past the limits of modern engineering and common sense. From basic devices like water distiller or coffee maker to robots that help you further automate your work, power plants, submarine, and even… a rocket.
Build boats and discover islands looming on the horizon. Jump into your submarine to explore the depths of the ocean, look for ores and oil, or build an underwater farm.
