Make the island legible before the night arrives.
A compact, source-linked field guide for ShoreTiles: the day-and-night loop, tile planning, lighthouses, defense, official Demo status, and the questions players are already raising.
No undo is described by Steam.
Six questions worth answering first
Each page keeps official facts, player reports, developer responses, and unknowns separate. The first version stays small on purpose.
How does a day turn into a night?
Understand the official high-level loop before treating any detailed sequence as proven.
Read the beginner guide →What do tiles and colors mean?
Separate the confirmed terrain-matching idea from player questions about variants and combos.
Read the tile notes →What are the lighthouse and fog for?
Map the official expansion language without inventing range, cost, or reward tables.
Read the expansion guide →What happens when creatures arrive?
Explain the military-connection signal while leaving unverified combat rules unclaimed.
Read the defense notes →Where is the official Demo?
Keep the release date, platform, language, and Steam Deck status in one dated page.
Check Demo and release →Are controls or crashes broken?
Find reported issues and official responses without turning one discussion into a universal fix.
Open the issue index →Useful, not official.
This site is an independent reference for players. It does not speak for Voxel Studios, Noovola, Valve, or Steam. Dates and mechanics are dated because a pre-release game can change.
Read the editorial policy →Reports stay reports.
Steam Community discussions help us find real questions, but they are not a replacement for official documentation or current-version verification. Unconfirmed details remain visibly unconfirmed.
