Sanrio decided that a mere crossover with Animal Crossing wasn't enough, wanting to reference a South Park joke, and thus Hello Kitty Island Adventure was born on Apple Arcade. Featuring the long awaited return of Big Challenges!

Unused Graphics

Early Map Versions

These renders portray a very different island to the one seen in the final game.

Early Placeholders

Some 3D-rendered sprites used for UI prototyping still exist in the game files.

HKIA HUD icon mymel placeholder.png

My Melody placeholder icon.


HKIA Temp Puzzle Sign Pic.png

The purpose of this placeholder is unknown, but it is presumably to do with the puzzle rooms.

Comic Books

These books are replaced with more polished variants in the final game.

Miscellaneous Icons

Several unused placeholder assets.

Gizmo Render

A prototype of the Gizmo shows a render at a slightly different angle.

Character Silhouette Art

Silhouette art is used for island visitors that are not yet unlocked. TOPHAT and Big Challenges are permanent friends in the final game, so it is unlikely this artwork will ever be used.

Beta UI Mockups

HKIA 2023-03-16 friend ui mockup.png

A screenshot of the friend UI, dated March 16 2023. The game allows you to ask each friend every day for a clue on what another character likes, however this information is not hidden and is always available on the friend page. Thus, the hidden 'likes' appears to be a cut feature.

The contacts screen from an earlier point in development, showing placeholder artwork.

Unused Models

Whimsical Set

A set of furniture that appears to have been cut from the game, perhaps due to polycount limitations. The icons use an older style and only three models appear to exist.
