FREE & VIP

Free to play. VIP for a quieter return.

The whole game is free. VIP gives you more room between visits and a few ways to make the island your own.

Free

Every kin, every story, the same game.

  • Collect every kin

  • Solve every puzzle

Always free

Play for free

Renews monthly until you cancel. No free trial.

What changes with VIP

The VIP benefits below apply while your subscription is active.

Moon Cup observations

With free play

A Moon Cup for 24 observations.

With VIP

A Moon Cup for 32 observations, plus 1 observation every 3 hours.

A little more progress when you return. A full cup stops accumulating; buying VIP adds nothing for time already passed.

Charge reserve

With free play

4 charges for a kin with 1 gold star.

With VIP

6 charges for that kin. Reserve ×1.5; the refill rate stays the same.

More time away before the reserve fills. Buying VIP does not add charges.

Lantern expansion tank

With free play

A tank lasting 1⅓ days at the illustrated Lantern level.

With VIP

A tank lasting 2 days with an expansion tank: +50% capacity.

Top up the lantern less often. The oil, its burn rate and the light stay the same; VIP does not add oil.

A keeper frame and Chronicle cover

With free play

The standard frame and cover.

With VIP

A golden frame, Chronicle cover and the honorific “Master” before your name.

Choose a different look. Cosmetics change no stats and unlock no rare kin.

What VIP does not give

Kin strength, production, building speed and chances of finding rare kin are the same for everyone. All kin, puzzles and stories can be reached for free.

How to buy VIP

  1. Link Google in the game. VIP belongs to that account in that world, so you can restore it on another device.
  2. Check the price and beta conditions in the game, then continue to payment.
  3. There is no free trial. Turn off renewal in the game to stop future charges; the paid period stays active. Deleting the app does not cancel the subscription.

Questions before you choose

Can I finish the game without VIP?

Yes. All kin, stories, buildings and puzzles remain available through free play. VIP adds convenience and cosmetics.

When do the extra observations count?

VIP adds +1 observation per 3 hours while the Moon Cup has room. Time after it is full does not count. VIP does not award a bonus for earlier time.

Does VIP make charging or the lantern faster?

No. Charges refill at the same rate. The lantern holds more of the same oil, with the same burn rate and light. Production and building speed are unchanged.

Can I buy as a guest or move to another device?

Link Google before buying. Sign in with the same Google account in the same world on another device to restore VIP.

Can I buy a year instead?

The yearly plan is planned at $39.99 USD, paid in full. Monthly purchases open first. The yearly plan is not on sale yet.

How do I cancel?

Turn off renewal in the game. Future charges stop and VIP stays active until the paid period ends. Deleting an app or closing a tab does not cancel it.

Can I get a refund?

The first VIP payment has a voluntary 14-day full-refund period, even if you used VIP. Mandatory consumer rights apply in addition. Read the English refund policy for how to request one.
