Play Overview
Castaway Paradise (2018) places you on your own tropical island. Make the place your own with decorations and furniture, dress up, collect bugs, fish, grow crops and help your new neighbours. It's an open-world game that offers an Animal Crossing style experience on non-Nintendo platforms that don't have that game.
Time passes on the island just like real life. The game moves through Summer sun, red leaves in Autumn, Christmas decorating fun in the Winter snow, Easter Egg hunts in Spring. New events are added and play evolves over the years.
Our examiner, Jo Robertson, first checked Castaway Paradise 5 years ago. It was re-examined by Thom Robertson and updated 12 weeks ago.
