The shop owner heard of the concept of “spam emails” and took it to the next level. Another quest sent me on a marketing campaign of the weirdest sorts. For example, Angus once made me fish for three specific fish (which took me three hours because of their rarity), then turned around and made me bury them far from him, then finally laughed when I came back, and sent me on my way as though I didn’t just make an impromptu funeral for three fish (those fish turned into skeletons, found this out when I went to clean up my island). Even though these quests consist of running around and doing chores, the humor involved with them makes them fun and odd. These quests go from simple things that take two minutes (picking up garbage, harvesting trees, etc) to more complex things that run over the course of a couple of days (planting rare plants, catching rare fish, etc.). Speaking of-Įach character always has a quest to give you and there’s no recharge time for any of them, and the rewards range from XP, Gems, items, and puzzle pieces. You then start off much as you do in Animal Crossing: a tent to upgrade, basic equipment, three animals to befriend, and additional characters and areas to unlock via puzzle pieces that you can either buy yourself (at an expensive 2000 Gems per piece) or get via quests. There are also little tutorials scattered about in the beginning quests that the characters give you, but otherwise, it lets you do as you please. It shows you how to walk, equip your items, water plants, harvest plants, and after a bit of talking, sets you free right off the bat. The game first drops you into a short tutorial after you wash up on a storm-burdened island. Whatever you feel comfortable wearing, you get it! I also adored the fact that, despite the fact that it makes you choose a set gender and does not let you change it (this only impacts pronouns that the characters use, from what I could tell), the game lets you choose any clothing style to wear without any gender constraints. I honestly spent my time in-between work and study sessions working my way up through levels, tending to gardens, planting many, many trees (you’ll see what I mean…), and running back and forth between each character to do their quests. Castaway Paradise is a 1-player life simulation sandbox game on both PC and Nintendo Switch, and it is the perfect game to relax.
