Otterbay: Cozy Island Garden

A small island in warm water, an otter called Olli — and from now on, both are yours.

NEW: STORY MODE One morning, Momo, the cat from your hammock, is gone. Left behind is the diary of Merle, the lighthouse keeper. Follow Momo’s trail by boat to faraway islands whose lights have gone out. Help Pip with his pumpkins, wake Oda the sleepy owl, fly kites for Captain Cork and discover, page by page, what happened to Merle. Three islands to start, with more coming in future updates. Buy once, play forever.

Otterbay is a quiet game. No timer running down, no lives refilling every twenty minutes, nobody pushing you. You plant something, you water it, and the island keeps growing while your phone is in your pocket.

YOUR GARDEN Over 200 varieties to plant — sunflowers, hydrangeas, dahlias, lavender, cherry trees, bamboo. They grow in real time: flowers take about eight days, trees close to three weeks. Cross two plants in full bloom and you might get something nobody has seen before.

THE SEA Take the boat out and fish. 300 species, from the anchovy to the blue marlin, each one measured for length and weight. The fight is real craft: you pump the rod in rhythm, keep the tension inside the band, and give line when the fish runs. Ten baits, seven waters, day and night — nothing bites by chance.

FRIENDS Swap island codes and visit each other. You walk the same island at the same time, water each other's thirsty plants and wave hello. Take a photo together — it carries both your names and the date.

Then head out for a fishing duel: ten casts, the same sea, the same fish for both of you. The better angler wins. Not luck — skill.

ALSO · Whiskey, a dachshund who roams your island · A herbarium where every bloom and every fish stays forever · 50 levels, each with its own title — from Beachcomber to Legend of Otterbay · Real weather: if it rains where you are, it rains on the island · A seed raffle, once a day

Otterbay is made by one person. No ads, no energy to buy, no nagging. Just an island, waiting patiently for you.
