Sugardew Island is a cozy farm shop sim, plus all the good stuff that comes with farming sims: care for animals, grow crops, gather resources, and restore balance for the Forest Folk population by completing Harmony Tree quests. (Okay, maybe that last one is unique.) The game was shown off at last December’s Wholesome Snack, and thank goodness it hasn’t been a long wait until its launch! Sugardew Island will launch digitally early in March and physically towards the middle of the month.
Inspired by the Harvest Moon DS game, Sugardew Island’s developer intentionally designed it to be an uncomplicated cozy farm shop sim. The goal is for you to unwind while enjoying the island, despite all the work that needs to be done!
Here is the description of Sugardew Island, from its developer:
In a bygone era, humans, animals, and the Forest Folk lived in perfect harmony on Sugardew Island. A seed, nurtured by all islanders, grew into a magnificent tree. However, driven by greed, humans sought to fell the Harmony Tree, disrupting the balance. The sudden change in their nature forced animals and Forest Folk to flee, leaving the island in ruins. Now, a lone being awaits someone to restore lost harmony.
After a surprising storm and a shipwreck, your journey begins as you awaken on a deserted island. To continue your adventure, you must collect Harmony by selling goods to the forest folk, healing the island and overcoming the thorns.
Take care of your animals and your farm, sell your goods to the cute Forest Folk, upgrade your farm and fulfil small orders from the Harmony Tree to fill the tiny island with life again.
Per the developer, the game features:
- Farming: Take care of your plants, make fertilizer and sell your farm produce.
- Farm Shop: Sell items in your shop and negotiate with the Forest Folk for prices.
- Resource Gathering: Collect wood, stones, and weeds for farm improvements.
- Character Editor: Customize your character’s look to create your perfect persona.
- Animals: Feed, interact & build bonds with animals for eggs and milk.
- Pet Companions: Give names to pets, interact with them, and let them follow you around the island.
- Harmony Tree Quests: Fulfill orders to heal the Harmony Tree and upgrade the small island.
- Romance: If you are looking for some companionship on the island, then love could be in the air with four romanceable spirits, each with their own unique story and interactions.
- Trader Tomte: Purchase seeds, animals, and more from the friendly trader.
- Upgrade System: Improve your house, barn, and tools to enhance efficiency.
Developed by rokaplay and self-published in collaboration with Silver Lining Interactive, Sugardew Island will be released digitally for PC (Steam), PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch on March 7. The physical editions for PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch will be released on March 14.
