About Island Restoration
Island Restoration is a single‑player cleaning simulation where you travel by boat to scarred islands and revive them. Each island begins damaged by factories and hazards, but your tools let you clear debris, rescue cute animals, and watch nature return.
The game offers four distinct biomes across twelve maps, a built‑in randomizer for endless new islands, and a skill‑tree that lets you upgrade tools. You can also personalize your boat with cosmetic parts, and take on unlimited contracts without any timed pressure.

World Setting
The world is described as scarred by factories and hazards, leaving islands desolate and wildlife driven away. You are the lone caretaker who sets sail to fix what was broken.
Each island starts damaged, but cleaning restores nature, revealing secrets and allowing animals to return. The narrative emphasizes a personal commitment to healing the environment.
- Observe how each island’s initial state hints at the type of hazards you’ll face.
- Compare the visual changes before and after cleaning to gauge progress.

Cleaning Tools
Six unique tools are provided to clean away hazards, each described as satisfying to use. These tools are the primary means of restoring islands and rescuing animals.
Tool upgrades make the cleaning process faster, turning a slow start into a more efficient workflow as you progress through contracts.
- Try different tools on similar hazards to see which feels most effective.
- Notice how small upgrades can noticeably speed up cleanup.

Island Variety & Randomizer
