Subject: NEVER PAY RENT AGAIN

You receive a scammy email one day from someone claiming to be the mayor of Sugartop, some town off the coast of Southern California. He offers you your own house—no mortgage, no rent, no utility, no HOA fees. Completely free, as long as you live in the town and take part in the community.It's too good to be true.
Right?
Sugartop is a work-in-progress immersive RPG and 'community sim' taking place in a cozy rural town on an island. Find love, touch trees, and create the home of your dreams as you carve out your place in a community of 30+ supernatural NPCs, solve puzzles, and explore hidden secrets in the surrounding forest, ocean, and even other towns. But no matter what you choose, one thing's for sure in this world—only you can hold yourself accountable for your actions.

Envisioning a better world, one game at a time.

Oxtail Studios is a small group of humans exhausted by the weight of the daily capitalist grind, and our attempt to resist gravity is telling stories from our hearts that might mean something to someone else out there. In other words, this studio is our creative outlet and an expression of our desire to connect with others in an increasingly hostile, lonely world.Our current labor of love is an immersive RPG and community sim with vestiges of the farm life sim genre and our own philosophies woven into the gameplay.Life doesn't stop, the horrors don't stop, and the years certainly don't stop coming, but knowing that there are people who believe in our vision and want to help us bring it to life is genuinely everything. Thank you for being here.
