If you're a fan of Asian anime, there's a high chance you've seen a Studio Ghibli movie such as My Neighbor Totoro, Spirited Away, or Howl's Moving Castle. These films all share the unique charm of enchanting storytelling, captivating animation, and profound themes that the studio is known for. 

Recently, a simulation game has garnered attention for its blend of the whimsical style synonymous with Ghibli. The game trailer on Steam captivated me greatly when it showed the cartoons on TV in the game — Tom & Jerry, Doraemon, and Crayon Shin-chan, essentially the cartoons that I spent almost my entire childhood watching.

Like other farming sims, Starsand Island takes you away from the urban hustle to a tranquil sea isle. In Starsand Island, every effort you make offers a rewarding sense of accomplishment. Activities like treasure hunting, farming, and exploration are key to the gameplay.

One of the game's strong points is its emphasis on community interaction, with over 40 unique NPCs you can form relationships with. 

A standout feature of the game is the freedom it provides for home creation, encouraging creativity in design and customization as you construct your dream home in your chosen location.

In Starsand Island, you're more than a gamer - you're a creator, explorer, and guardian of the land. The game offers a charming countryside living experience and a respite in a peaceful island setting. 

If the game appeals to you, feel free to add it to your wishlist on Steam where you can check out more details about the game. The game is set to launch in the fourth quarter of 2025, so stay tuned for more updates.
