Story & Themes
Inspired by Stardew Valley and other life and farm sims, Starsand Island is set on an idyllic island with a cute town full of anime hotties. The customizable protagonist is returning to their hometown to put in some pastoral roots as they learn and progress the five professions: crafting, farming, fishing, ranching, and exploration.
Each profession has its own series of quests that unlock new blueprints and rewards, such as crafting more advanced furniture and objects, and caring for larger animals.
The fully 3D island is quite large, and players are encouraged to craft vehicles (from skateboards to actual cars) or ride animal mounts to get around.
Players can also befriend various NPCs, as well as animals that can adopted as pets.
While in Early Access, the game only supports single player, and features minimal story-telling and NPC interactions.
Save Points
The game can be saved, and exited, at any time.
Difficulty
Starsand Island's four primary profession's each follow their own chain of quests that introduce new materials and concepts. For example, in ranching you start out caring for bunnies, then chickens, then bigger animals. This helps make the game very friendly to newcomers.
As with most life sims, managing time, resources, and inventory is the primary challenge.
Heads Up!
Violence One of the main profession is Exploration, which involves venturing into the Moonlit Forest and defeating monsters using ranged weapons such as bows and slings. Monsters resemble animals or robotic golems. There's no blood or gore (and minimal animations) in combat.
Sex & Nudity Some female characters feature revealing outfits, such as cleavage or midriffs.
Strong Language "Pissed off" appears in the game.
