Starsand Island

Starsand Island is a farming life sim that brings you all the favorites of farming, caring for animals, fishing, and combat. I’m sure this has been on everyone’s radar. The graphics alone make me grabby hands, but I’m equally excited to explore on a longboard and connect with the NPCs.
