Fun game with plenty to do. Character customisation has a lot of variety. I love the characters and all the fun npc designs. Looking forward to seeing how the game will look when it leaves early access. Only thing this game needs is to let me kiss the rat. (joking... unless...?)

This is a quiet and cozy game, perfect for when you're in the mood for a casual experience. Exploring, resource collecting, crafting, collecting, and decorating! Explore over land and under the sea to find the resources in a post apocalyptic archipelago to turn an abandoned seaside town into the ultimate tourist trap for fun and profit!

10-17-2026 Review I purchased this around when it first came to Early Access (Sept. 2024). Back then is when I played the bulk of my experience, around 7-8 hours. For the time, it was great. It ran pretty well, the world seemed cool and the Ocean aspect was fun. I had shelved the game to wait for more updates, which they seem to have been doing this whole time. Yet I can't really tell honestly. My biggest gripe…
