Make the island your own
• Create your character: choose their face, hairstyle, clothing, accessories, and colors.
• Name your island and decide how overgrown it should be—from open, grassy meadows to a dense jungle.
• Choose between a story-driven experience for a gentle start or "Sandbox" mode, where everything is unlocked from the beginning.
Farming, fishing, and foraging
• Till the soil, plant seasonal crops, and keep them watered. Don't forget to set up a scarecrow before the crows arrive!
• Plant fruit trees and harvest their bounty each season.
• Go fishing—catch everything from river perch to legendary, giant-sized fish. Use bait and look for patches of churning water.
• Use your net to catch butterflies, dragonflies, and nocturnal beetles to add to your collection.
Animals
• Tame wild chickens with feed, or purchase chickens, sheep, and cows. Build enclosures, feed your animals daily, and collect eggs, milk, and wool.
• Watch out for wild beasts—the island is home to foxes, dingoes, wild boars, crocodiles, and sharks.
Dig deeper, build more
• Descend into the mines to extract ore and gemstones, then smelt them into ingots using a furnace.
• Craft tools, weapons, and furniture; upgrade your shelter from a simple tent to a cabin or a cozy cottage.
• Unlock automated machinery—these devices can water your crops, feed your livestock, and gather produce while you take a break.
A living village
• As you progress through the story, seven new residents will arrive on the island. Each has their own daily routine, personal tastes, and birthday.
• Build friendships by giving gifts. Learn what each villager likes, fulfill their requests, and complete tasks posted on the community board by the campfire. • Store your seashells in the island’s bank and earn interest every morning.
A Year on the Island
• Four seasons, each lasting 28 days, featuring rain, fog, thunderstorms, snow, and blizzards.
• Seven festivals: the Blossom Festival, the Fishing Tournament, the Harvest Fair, the Winter Bonfire, the Night of Lanterns, Pumpkin Night, and New Year’s Eve with fireworks.
• Weekend markets, visiting merchant ships, meteor showers, and butterfly migrations.
