developer Gentleman Rat and publisher tinyBuild proudly revealed their relaxing indie game Critter Cove during the PC Gaming Show.
Set sail for a fresh start in a tranquil island town in this unique life simulation game packed with exploration, crafting, and community building. Critter Cove invites players to restore a tropical island town to its former glory and create their own paradise, seek hidden treasures and, with the help of a delightful cast of characters, put Critter Cove on the map.
Critter Cove combines the relaxing and cosy feel of life simulation games with town management elements resulting in a beautiful adventure. Dive into a sunken city for rare resources, seek relics to fill the museum, and craft items to help further explore the world both above and below the waves.
“We can’t wait for players to dive into the world of Critter Cove!” said Jason Holding, lead programmer at Gentlemen Rat. “Whether you’re an adventure-seeker or someone who enjoys a relaxed pace, you’ll feel a real sense of community building up the town with our cast of critters. Critter Cove isn’t just about the town, though – we want players to always have one eye on the horizon; the next discovery, the next settler or treasure map!”
Critter Cove Features:
- A tropical open world setting dotted with islands to explore.
- Wrecks and submerged ruins filled with treasure to donate to Critter Cove’s growing museum.
- Upgrades and full customisation to the town and your ship, allowing for more exploration and new vendors to move into the cove.
- Fishing, swimming, crafting, building and resource gathering in a cosy relaxing adventure.
Players can prepare to uncover the world of Critter Cove later this year. The game launches on PC via Steam Early Access in Q4 2023 and will come to PlayStation and Xbox platforms in 2024.
