Have you been playing a lot of Stardew Valley and Harvest Moon lately? There's a new farming sim in the works, created by an Indonesian company with more diverse gameplay!

Create your farm, romance the villagers, dive to save coral reefs, catch bugs and fish to put in the museum, attend mini games and festivals, and MEET MERMAIDS.

Let's talk about Coral Island!

This Kickstarter has come a long way since it's launch, and as of Feb. 15 it's still got 15 days to reach it's higher goals.

Or, DO YOU WANT TO DATE A MERMAID?

There are three mythical figures in this game, one of them being mermaids. We've finally unlocked the village, but if we unlock the kingdom there are two romance mermaid options.

But if mermaids don't do it for you, the human options are just as sexy! (And yes, OF COURSE YOU CAN PICK ANY GENDER 🏳️‍🌈)

(and the normal townies aren't bad looking either 👀)

Coral island can be a solo or multiplayer experience, and is planned to launch on switch and other consoles not long after early access in Q4!

By backing you get the game key for only $20, which is low for the amount of gameplay Coral Island has to offer!

Yes, that's right! For the low amount of $20, you too can eventually date a mermaid! Consider pledging today!
