I don't know about you, but sometimes I find this whole 'being an adult' thing a bit much. That's why it's appealing to escape to laid-back cutesy life sims, and Starsand Island has a heck of a lot to offer. I spent ten in-game days there, and while I achieved an awful lot, there was even more I didn't even manage to get started on.
Starsand Island is a pretty chill place. There's a number of little shops and kiosks, a beach, a small farm, and even a panda house (yes, a little house that a trio of pandas live in). There's a kind of island story trundling along in the background, which you progress through by building certain structures and hitting milestones in your journey as a multitalented contributor to the economy. This slowly brings with it new opportunities; for example, by providing materials to rebuild the port, I unlocked visiting merchant ships. But life on Starsand Island is all about the small details of your day-to-day.
