From the studio that developed "My Time at Portia", Pathea Games and publisher Focus Entertainment released a new trailer for the highly-anticipated follow-up, My Time at Sandrock, to show off a new gameplay overview ahead of the packed 1.0 release coming next month:

If you're looking for a slice-of-life game with an interesting community of people, My Time at Sandrock will be just for you! You will join the people as a builder who has been tasked to revive the town. Customize your character, get your workshop up, and get ready to explore, craft, uncover mysteries, and upgrade as you are not just a builder but also an adventurer.

After all the time you spend adventuring, you must schedule some time for relaxation. Thankfully, there are plenty of activities you can find in Sandrock: shopping for outfits, indulging in exciting mini-games, and PETTING THE ANIMALS. Chat with charming townsfolk, find the ideal gifts to befriend them, and complete their quests to form special bonds. You might even find love along the way, as Sandrock is where friendships can blossom into something more...

And, with the online multiplayer mode, you can work with up to three different friends to let those creative juices flow, fight monsters together, or relax in the beautiful town. What you do is completely up to you!

My Time at Sandrock is available now in early access on Steam, but the 1.0 release will be available on November 2nd. If desired, you can buy the game now, too, for $39.99. The game doesn't seem to have hefty requirements, and luckily, we have reports that the game runs quite well on the Steam Deck!

Fun fact: our resident Steam Deck aficionado, Cryobyte33, appears in the game credits since he backed the project on Kickstarter! We love seeing that indie support here!
