Castaway Paradise - live among the animals

Game is buggy, the last update was years ago with any sort of mod response. It is essentially abandonware. The DLCs (albeit free) do not work. Controller and/or keyboard controls are a mess (note on the controller 'supported' version you will get stuck in your house forever). If you can get this game free, it can be fun, but for any amount of money, I'd HIGHLY recommend not buying this game!

I actually really enjoyed the game, until it wouldn't let me leave my house anymore. For the short period of time that I could play it, it was really fun, kinda giving Animal Crossing but on a budget. Then one day I boot up my game, and all of the sudden I can't leave my house anymore. I've asked around on the community page and apparently multiple people have the same problem, the devs just don't seem to care, as they basically abandoned the game. So yeah, it should work better on the Switch, but I'm not taking my chances and paying twice for a game that might not even work. I get bugs, but you literally can't leave ur house, so u can't do anything lol. Devs, fix ur ♥♥♥♥.

I got this game on sale for less than $3USD. I wasn't expecting much. On starting it, it made me nostalgic for old facebook games like Farmville with a bit of animal crossing-esque vibes. It felt kinda janky on keyboard/mouse, but slowly it grew on me. It's very point-and-clicky, and it was probably a mobile game originally, but it's not the most terrible port. It scratches the Animal Crossing itch while also letting you binge play longer if you want to. Multiple save files is nice, though I myself haven't seen the appeal in having multiple saves. Initially I thought VIP stuff was gonna be in-game transactions, but turns out you only have to reach lvl 15 to unlock most of everything, which isn't terrible. Seems they ported this over without aggressive monetization. Kudos to them for that. The DLCs are free, thought the Stevie one seems to take a few in game days before it fully works. Some achievements don't trigger right away and might randomly trigger when you re-launch the game. I will say the music and sound effects annoyed me after like 5 minutes, so I muted them. But it's a nice game to play if you want your own music playing on another app while you zone out. The charac…

laughable lol what did I just play

Less cute Animal Crossing

Love the game!
