"Strange New Tides" is a free, quirky social sim where you play as Munch, a small, blue-tentacled Cthulhu washed ashore in the beachside town of Saltbay Cove. Your mission? Explore, collect geodes, fish, and upgrade your humble (and tiny!) home into something glorious. Along the way, you'll meet kooky villagers who look strangely appetizing. If you're a fan of games like Animal Crossing, "Strange New Tides" offers a heartwarming story with two endings, memorable characters to fall in love with, addictive mini-games, and personal expression through home building. So, if you're ready to dive into a world of quirky characters, fishing fun, and home-building adventures, "Strange New Tides" is the game for you. Just remember, in Saltbay Cove, even the villagers might be on the menu!

I caught fish, I found geodes, I gambled and I bought sand. This was covered as part of this week's episode of Free2Play Weekly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_B-qLHx1XE&t=1525
