You are in charge of a town of critter-folk who are on the verge of bankruptcy. The coffers are empty and the town is close to collapse. Your job is to rebuild the economy.

Whether you chase profits or operate with compassion and the people in mind, the townspeople of Critterville Goes Bankrupt react and respond to each of your choices. You are in charge of writing this story, but it will take work. Hire neighbors and pay them well to do jobs around town, and they’ll view you as a great employer! You can also build your dream home by renovating the chateau you inherited. Even cultivate your own crops to really impress your fellow nobles. Build vital partnerships with other nobles, too. One of them may even make the perfect spouse. Empires aren’t built alone, after all!

Coral Island is a gorgeous farming sim set on a beautiful island. You are a farmer building your legacy through growing crops, raising adorable farm animals, nurturing relationships, and more. There’s a little more to the island than the usual farm sim, though. Mermaids are real, but so is the very real threat of ocean pollution! So, help clean up the ocean while you catch fish, capture bugs, and gather resources. Get to know over 70 neighbors and date 25 of them. Liven up the town with useful community projects and expand the museum’s displays. Even participate in lively local festivals where you can play fun mini games. Whatever you choose to do, it’s your story to write and your life to cultivate!


Since its release, Coral Island has steadily pushed out updates that are chock-full of new content and QoL improvements. The 1.3 update is no different. The Merfolk Festival is brand new and ready for you in the summer. Swim down to the Merfolk Kingdom and see what unique stalls are open. We finally get to date Agung and Raina. Agung is the charming gatekeeper of the Merfolk kingdom. He’s not actually looking for a relationship, but put in the time and effort, his mind can be changed. Raina is also a lovely character who came to the island on Pufferfish Corp’s payroll for the steady income. And like Agung, she requires a little more effort to romance.
The “Ocean & Kisses” update focuses a lot on the relationship system and making it less one-sided. Now, you aren’t the only one approaching the single dateables. They’ll approach you and ask you on dates, too. Anniversaries are now acknowledged and meant to be celebrated. Talk to your spouse to see the special anniversary dialogue and receive a 2x mastery EXP buff for the day. Plus, gift points are doubled. But don’t think you can do the bare minimum for your relationship! Ignore your spouse for too long, and not only will they get jealous, but they’ll start seeking your attention. They have feelings, too, you know! Or, if you prefer to marry one of your fellow players, you can now do so underwater.
Coral Island has also gifted up more character slots. You can have up to 10 characters to play around with. If you want to make more characters, simply delete old save files. Manual saves are live, too. That means you can save anywhere, any time! And if you manually save into multiple save slots, you can effectively date and marry every NPC (please give us a divorce option!). Auto-saves occur when you enter buildings, mines, dive sites, or teleport.


As great as new romance candidates and spousal interactions are, new color variants for animals are so exciting. You’ll unlock all color variants at Rank A, but there are now rainbow cows and chickens! So cute! They have a chance to produce Starlet Milk and Starlet Eggs if you take really good care of them, too. Go pick up an aquarium, insectarium, and flower vases to really liven up your home. Spend some time relaxing, watching the fish swim around, or bugs wander. The Sawee can be sent off to hibernate.
As for other improvements in Coral Island, festival pamphlets have been revamped to look better and be easier to read. The Starlet Display at Harvest Festival components can now be clicked to add instead of being clicked and dragged. You can now hold buttons instead of constantly clicking them, which makes tending crops WAY easier. There’s a return icon for when you make an oopsie and buy the wrong item or too many of one thing at the shops. Plus, there are trap markers on the map, new hangout spots (Tree Planting Festival Area, Observing Wildlife Animals), better heart event tracking, house storage increases as you upgrade the house, and all NPCs have pajamas. Discover recipes around the island and in the ocean. The merfolk now have speech bubbles. Improve Town Rank A flow, and hangouts being available in different weather.
And SO much more! If you want to look into the details and check out the small Q&A from the devs, go take a look at the Steam page’s news.


Coral Island’s “Ocean & Kisses” official release is coming soon, but has no set date. It’s available for a limited open beta test on Steam until May 21st, though. So, go try it out early if you want! Right-click the game in your Steam Library -> Properties -> Game Versions & Betas -> select public beta branch.

Little Sim World is an adorable upcoming cozy sim that has been in development for several years now. Taking place in the center of London, this little life sim is more than just a game where you care for a person, but it’s an opportunity to shape that person and influence their story! Move into your rustic little home in the heart of London and take time to explore, work, collect items, decorate, and so much more. This game is packed full of all the sim features you could possibly want to create an exciting and engaging experience.



Now you have a chance to help Little Sim World by supporting their Kickstarter, which just launched today June 7th! There are an immeasurable number of games out there, but this one deserves the support from interested gamers so it can deliver all of the content that’s been promised. And the developer Blue Gravity Studios has already done some incredible work delivering on promised content so far!
Start your new sim life by fully customizing your character with hair types, hair colors, clothing, and personality traits. Start your new life by moving into a rustic, cozy home, but visit the local DIY shop to buy stuff for house upgrades. Also explore a bustling piece of the city where you’ll find shops, NPCs, and even vehicle traffic. Stop in the gym to get your sweat on, or run around collecting coins to donate to the museum. There’s even fishing to be done in Little Sim World. Visit the quaint Grosvenor Canal to catch all kinds of fish. Or go chill at the library to read and learn something new. Perhaps even fall in love? The opportunities are nearly endless.
Every day isn’t all fun and games, though! You must manage your character’s needs for food, water, hygiene, even entertainment and comfort. Plus, a job is necessary to obtain funds for your decorating endeavors and expenses. So you must learn to balance everything well in order to achieve success, but this offers a truly excellent life sim experience. Never mind that the game’s visuals are absolutely charming and adorable. Throw in the dynamic weather and different seasonal changes, Little Sim World has a lot to offer and is well-worth backing on Kickstarter!



Again, the Kickstarter for this great sim game launches June 5th. There’s also a Steam page that lists the release date for the game later this year!
You can help developers unlock even more features by supporting their Kickstarter right here.
