Critter Cove: Cozy Scrapyard Life Sim

[Ral]

I've been fortunate enough to receive an invitation to the closed beta today, and I'm genuinely excited about my upcoming playtest! Life simulation and construction games, reminiscent of beloved titles like Animal Crossing, My Time at Portia, and Sandrock, have always been my absolute favorites.

I will do my best to provide a review of my playtest experience, offering insights into what you can anticipate well before the official release in Q1 of 2024

Smol update: I began my playthrough today since I finally had some time to relax and enjoy some vidya games for once!
