In Shinehill by developer Peach Bite, you play as a spy who has been assigned a tough new job. You arrive on an unfamiliar planet where you suddenly replace one of the residents. The trusting locals mistake you for a new neighbor and treat you with kindness by giving you a house and plot of land. From there, the rest is up to you!
Spend your days on this supposed island paradise becoming a champion fisherman. Or start a farm on your plot of land and tend to a variety of crops. You can even cook up some delicious meals in Shinehill and go exploring abandoned dungeons across the island that hold secrets. The real question is, what made your command turn their eyes toward this planet? Is there something shady going on and it’s up to you to figure out? Perhaps! Get to know your new neighbors. Help them out and learn their stories. Maybe even make friends, or become more. One of your new friends might actually be a threat to everyone else.

Cozy gamers everywhere should be keeping their eye on Critter Cove as it’s shaping up to be an incredible game. However, if you’re unfamiliar with the game, it’s a beautiful open world life sim where you’re given the big job of restoring the island. It was once a bustling tourist destination, but now it’s nothing more than a run-down town with trash strewn across the beaches. Can you bring the island back to life?
Start your new adventure by customizing your own character. Create a human or animal, reptile or mammal or some kind of hybrid! Critter Cove doesn’t limit you to any singular preset. In fact, if you want a parrot head with the tail of a cat on the body of a human, you can do that! Then, set out to earn dubloons by attracting tourists to the island. Use that money to upgrade buildings and install new shops or attractions to increase the tourist rating. The higher the rating, the more tourists that will visit, the more money you’ll make, and the more you can build and upgrade. It’s a win-win situation all around. The tourists aren’t the only people, or creatures, you’ll come across, though. Rescue Critters across the world and move them to your island. Build them homes, provide jobs, and become friends with them.
In Critter Cove, You’ll rescue the Critters by going out and exploring the post-apocalyptic world. Take your trusty, but run-down boat out to different islands to discover even more than new friends. Explore ruins and uncover relics to house in the Museum of Mystery. Find treasures, exotic resources, and go diving below the waves to explore shipwrecks, too. Or stay at home to craft unique items from the trash you collect. Turn your farm from desolate to a flourishing oasis of crops. Your freshly grown produce can help improve the tourist rating, too! So work hard and see how your island turns out.
The Demo
The demo offers a great view of just how fun the game will be. The NPCs you encounter on the daily are unique and possess their own personalities. The dialogue is sassy and hilarious, too. Critter Cove scratches that town building and exploration itch left behind some of the other great cozy games. Plus, it’s absolutely gorgeous. The world is a vibrant post-apocalyptic landscape and a is lot of fun to just observe. Even the quests are fun because the dialogue and the characters are well-written. It’s overall one of the best demos I’ve tried out, which makes me even more excited for the full game!
Release Date
Critter Cove is set to release September 10th on Steam, with releases on PlayStation and Xbox early next year! Try out the demo and see for yourself how great it is. And don’t forget to Wishlist it!
