Players Like...

❤ Exploration and Sailing

Players can freely explore a large, open-world archipelago, sailing between the tropical islands in their whimsical "bathtub boat." The emphasis on water exploration, including underwater diving, sets this game apart from similar life simulation titles.

❤ Character Customization

One of the game's standout features is its robust character creator. Players can craft a wide variety of human, animal, and hybrid characters, with deep customization options for physical features, outfits, and accessories. This allows for a high degree of personal expression and individuality.

❤ Crafting and Resource Gathering

Gathering resources from the land and sea is a core gameplay loop, which players then use to craft hundreds of different items at various workstations. A quality-of-life feature automatically pulls the required materials from the player's storage, streamlining the crafting process.

❤ Town Building and Restoration

Players take on the task of restoring the rundown town, upgrading and decorating buildings, and opening up new shops and venues. Improving the town's tourism rating is key to attracting more visitors and revenue.

❤ Quests and Relationships

The game features a cast of colorful non-player characters, each with unique personalities. Players can take on quests from these characters, helping them with various tasks. Building relationships with the townsfolk is an important aspect, as their happiness and support contribute to the town's success.

❤ Relaxed Pacing and Lack of Pressure

Reviews praise the game's relaxed, unrushed gameplay pace, with no strict time pressures or deadlines. This, combined with the cozy, charming atmosphere, contributes to its appeal as a relaxing "comfort game" experience.
