Evaluation

Havendock launched on April 22, 2025 and has received consistent post-launch updates from the solo developer (YYZ Studio). The game's first paid DLC, Wizard Island, shipped on December 4, 2025, adding a new island, buildings, resources, and characters. Importantly, the developer explicitly stated at the time of the Wizard Island launch that "Wizard Island isn't the end of the journey" and confirmed plans for "another big free update for the base game in 2026," focused on more endgame content, new replayability systems, and a revamp of player traits (described as a "New Game Plus update" in the prior November 24, 2025 announcement). This is a direct developer commitment to future content. Since the Wizard Island launch, the developer has continued releasing patches through May 2026, with the most recent update on May 20, 2026, showing ongoing active engagement with the game. The developer went through a period of personal difficulty in mid-2024 (described in a December 7, 2024 post) but explicitly resolved this, returned to development, and has been consistently shipping updates since. For anyone considering whether to wait before playing: additional free content for the base game has been promised by the developer for 2026, but is not yet released.

About this game

Havendock is a cozy colony sim set in the heart of the ocean, where you’ll build a thriving town from the ground up. Welcome new settlers, manage resources, explore new lands, and live your best life. Lead your humble settlement into a high-tech society.

Create your own character. Collect resources from floating debris. Build facilities to become self-sufficient. Arrange your settlement the way you want and at your own pace.

Build farms to grow food and cook delicious meals. Raise and feed animals – make adorable new friends, some of them will help make your settlement work more efficiently!

Welcome new survivors – manage tasks and production to keep everyone happy and healthy. More settlers means more needs to be met, but don't worry. You'll teach your new pals how to work, and they'll help you automate the tasks you like less.

Master mad science – push past the limits of modern engineering and common sense. From basic devices like water distiller or coffee maker to robots that help you further automate your work, power plants, submarine, and even… a rocket.

Build boats and discover islands looming on the horizon. Jump into your submarine to explore the depths of the ocean, look for ores and oil, or build an underwater farm.
