Description

What if your vacation never had to end? Horizon Lines is a cozy idle game about living the cruise dream. Progress from wide-eyed tourist on a European river cruise to full-time ship resident to fleet mogul.

Inspired by the real phenomenon of people who've made cruise ships their permanent home, Horizon Lines offers generous progression, ethical monetization, and a warm SNES-era pixel art aesthetic that respects players' time. It's the first game from Idling Away, a new publisher focused on premium idle games with soul.
