From the Steam store

Island Off Outer Darkness follows the narrative of the Postman, a resident Postal Worker new to a small fishing village in Antarctic waters off the coast of a volcano (the titular Outer Darkness). They start new to the job, and must deliver packages to residents day-by-day, week-by-week. As they learn more about the island and its townsfolk, aberrations in space begin to appear. More broadly, Island Off Outer Darkness is an exploration of the grief of community collapse and personal withering. Featuring a 31-track OST by CalamityRhapsody and visual artistic work by several people, Island Off Outer Darkness is the story of this town, and these people.

Features:

Live out the life of a kind of antisocial government employee in an alien place.

Act out thrilling strand-type delivery simulator gameplay.

Chat with townsfolk in a menuing and dialogue system inspired by classic RPGs.

Go green with the gardening and hybridizing of over 15 otherworldly crops.

Chum fast by fishing in the ocean, with over 60 reelable fish, plants, and rocks.

Keep your ears peeled for a 31-track OST composed by the artist CalamityRhapsody.

Experience an unfolding story full of intrigue... and mystery.

Discover the world of Kolob, via its effects on the isolated fishing village.

Meet the townsfolk:

Pluripotent Fester, a former freedom fighter and political writer for the liberation of Argyre for Pluripotentkind. Depressive, and in exile.

Brucehilda, a grandaunt, plumber, and resident of the island for over 60 years. And a doppelgänger, of her "twin sister".

The Postman, a gender-nonspecific mid-twenties youth from the mainland, new to their Postmanly job on the island.

Leonargo, a scholarly sea people from the depths, fished up and localized a few years before Island Off Outer Darkness takes place.

Aleks, an awkward farmer on the desolate rock and lover of his devoted partner Bucephalus.

Bucephalus, Aleks' partner-turned-horse who has a love for botany and the culinary arts.

And many more!

At absolutely no point in development was generative AI used, and Island Off Outer Darkness is 100% human-made.
