Hello!
This is the first devlog for Ice Cream — an atmospheric 18+ dating sim about a paradise island, summer relaxation, new encounters, romantic meetings, and a small ice cream shop around which the story gradually begins to unfold.
Ice Cream takes place on a sunny island made for relaxation, flirting, and unexpected encounters.
Players will be able to visit different locations: scenic beaches, cozy cafés, hotels, quiet corners, and other places where story events may happen. Some encounters will only be available at certain times of day, so the game includes a day and night cycle.
During the day, the island feels bright, warm, and relaxed. At night, the atmosphere changes: different events appear, new dialogues become available, and more personal moments with the heroines can happen.
The main part of Ice Cream is meeting girls and developing relationships.
Each heroine has her own personality, story, preferences, and event line. The player will choose dialogue options, spend time with the girls, unlock new scenes, and gradually get to know them better.
The game will feature different types of heroines: energetic, calm, bold, mysterious, and more reserved. We want every relationship route to feel distinct: some will have more light romantic comedy, others will focus on slow intimacy, and some will lean into provocative flirting.
One of the key mechanics of the game is working at the ice cream shop.
This is not just a way to earn money. Random events can happen during a shift: unusual visitors, strange orders, short scenes with island residents, and encounters that may affect further progression.
The ice cream shop will become one of the central points of the gameplay loop. Through work, the player will be able to earn money, learn new rumors, and gradually unlock additional events on the island.
The island has a rumor system.
Rumors help the player learn about hidden events, new opportunities, and places where something interesting may happen. They will be brought by a local madman who believes he is a spy.
He also has a secret informant — a person in a box.
Through this strange pair, the player will receive hints, news, and leads that move the story forward and unlock new events. This system will add a bit of humor and the feeling that the island lives its own strange life.
In addition to story events and relationships, Ice Cream will include collecting.
Players will be able to find collectible cards on the island — vintage erotic photos. All found cards will be added to a special album.
Some cards can be found while exploring locations, while others can be unlocked through events, relationship progress, or specific times of day. For players who enjoy exploring carefully, this will be a separate activity.
This is only the first devlog, and we will gradually reveal more details about the world, characters, and mechanics of Ice Cream.
If you are interested in atmospheric 18+ dating sims, romantic stories, summer vibes, and a bit of strange island humor — add Ice Cream to your Steam wishlist and follow the news.
