Limerick, Republic of Ireland, Earth, Milky Way, March 20th, 2025 - Ireland-based Zenland Games is excited to share its new game Ekoh Beach, a life sim with a unique sci-fi twist. Set to launch on PC on April 4th, Ekoh Beach invites players to take charge and help rebuild a broken town on a distant planet into the bustling home of their dreams (and occasional nightmares).
Congratulations! You just landed the job of Town Planner on the (former) isolated planet of Ekoh 99. Following a disastrous robot rebellion, which left the once technologically advanced planet a shell of its former self, it’s up to you to rebuild the town and create jobs for all the new people that are going to move in.
According to a hastily printed town brochure, Ekoh Beach is now 99.9% free of insane robots. Rumours of scratchy noises beneath the surface and the unexpected “departure” of Dr. Terra (the once resident leading Scientist) are merely speculation…though maybe stay out of the mines for a while.
So come on over to Ekoh Beach! Explore the mines, beaches, and forests, gather resources and harvest (minimally radioactive) materials in your epic quest of Town Planner-ness. Useful tools which are only legal on Ekoh-99 such as the Z-Cleaner will scoop up mineral-rich particles from sand, rarely overheating at all!
Particular Town Planners who like to change the color and style of everything are in luck! Planners can fully customize themselves and carefully chose just the right character buffs to give them that edge. Need a little less empathy and a little more negotiation skills? No problem! Turn that empathy buff right down! Want to inflict your own awesome style onto unsuspecting townsfolk? Then why not give the gift of an irreversible haircut from the local body augmentation clinic!
Most people who work at Zenland agree: “With a vibrant and unique tropical science fiction art style, Ekoh Beach blends the futuristic and the tropical with a strong sense of humour”.
Ekoh Beach game highlights:
- Run for mayor and spend your political capital on your next big building project, which will bring residents back to Ekoh Beach as you rebuild.
- Restore life to Ekoh Beach by rebuilding houses and town hotspots like the inter-dimensional bakery or MegaBrain Library.
- Befriend over 35 unique NPCs and pets to gain hearts and earn rewards.
- Uncover easter eggs hidden throughout the game. You never know when a line of dialogue might lead to a brilliant discovery.
Ekoh Beach will arrive on Steam on April 4th, 2025, and is now available to wishlist on Steam. Keep up to date with Ekoh Beach’s progress by following the official BlueSky account visiting the Ekoh Beach website.
