Citrus & Stone

Coming soon to Steam 1–2 players

Build by day.
Hold by night.

A cozy pixel-art base builder for one player, two players online, or two on one screen. By day you gather, build and hire help. At six every evening, mushrooms pour out of the Rotten Bushes to put your campfire out.

By day

A grapefruit and a cherry wash up on an island.

The island is fully dynamic, and all it gives you to start with is a wrecked boat and a broken campfire. Fix the fire, build a camp around it, and get the boat sailing again.

A whole walled camp from above: brick floor, crop plots, workbenches, four archer towers and the meadow around it.

Build by day

Chop trees, break rocks, cook recipes, fish and smelt iron. Work your way up from a makeshift axe to walls, gates and archer towers.

Upgrade the campfire to unlock new recipes. It goes up to level four.

A camp that mostly runs itself

Survivors are camped around the island. Pay them to join, then give each one a job: builders put up and repair your walls, archers take the towers, trappers lay traps, and more.

They level up as they work, and you can upgrade their gear.

Survivors crowding the Bar Tab at the top of the camp, kegs lined up beside it.

Brew a round

Grow wheat, brew it into beer in a keg and serve it at the Bar Tab. The little green guys love it, and it may motivate them to work harder.

Fix the boat

Five shrines are hidden around the island, and each one asks for its own offerings: crops, materials, dishes, mushroom loot and fish. Complete every offering and the boat is ready to sail.

Play together

Better with two

Tony Grapefruit is a citrus. Sherry is a cherry, which is a stone fruit.

Play them together in split-screen couch co-op: one screen, separate inventories, and player two can pick up a controller and join at any time. Or play online, with a friend joining as Sherry over Steam. One of you fishes while the other rebuilds the wall.

6:00 PM The mushrooms come out.

By night

Hold by night

The mushrooms bring friends. If they put out the campfire, the run is over, so use the day to get ready: walls, towers, traps and a crew that knows its job.

Raids

Every night the mushrooms come for the fire, in bigger groups as the days go on.

Bosses

Some nights bring something bigger. There are many boss encounters to prepare for.
