Starsand Island

Starsand Island is a life and farming game infused with Eastern philosophy, where you cultivate, fish, build and forge bonds with the inhabitants of an island bathed in the cycle of the four seasons. The inspiration comes directly from the Chinese countryside, with a soft anime-style aesthetic and a pace that leaves plenty of room for contemplation.

The title clearly leans toward Stardew Valley or My Time at Sandrock, but bets on online multiplayer for up to four players to explore ancient ruins, fight monsters or fish side by side. Add to that 14 romanceable characters and a good dose of customization, and you get a cozy cocktail tailored for slow-life fans who still enjoy a bit of brawling from time to time.
