Castaway Paradise

Castaway Paradise is a simple and relaxing sandbox simulation game in which we build a new home on a small island and then help its inhabitants, cultivate the land and participate in various activities. The game was developed by Stolen Couch Games, an independent studio from the Netherlands. The creators were strongly inspired by the Animal Crossing and Harvest Moon series. Fans of both brands will find many direct references in their work. Castaway Paradise made its debut on PCs in 2015. Later, the game was ported by Codeglue studio to other platforms.

Mechanics

Castaway Paradise does not have an extensive plot. After creating our own character, we are moved to a small island. Its only village is inhabited by nice and eccentric animals. The action of the game is presented in isometric view, and players can freely move around the whole three-dimensional map of the island and interact with objects and independent characters. You can start building your own house right away and then start working in the field or take part in many other activities such as fishing, catching insects, buying new furniture and equipment or preparing unique outfits. It is also possible to get to know the neighbours and gain their trust by performing side tasks and requests, as well as repairing and decorating the structure of a village destroyed by a hurricane. The authors also prepared various events connected with the four seasons of the year, which, when they come, change the island beyond recognition.

Technical aspects

Castaway Paradise has a colorful graphics design that is deceptively reminiscent of the latest versions of the Animal Crossing series. The game is accompanied by relaxing music and sound effects.
