My Time at Sandrock, Pathea Games‘ upcoming sequel to their 2019 hit sandbox RPG My Time at Portia, has already accrued half a million wishlists on Steam, ahead of its May 26th Early Access launch date.

Understandably, the developers are very happy with the news, and as a reward to all the players who are looking forward to this new title, will expand the scope when it comes to romanceable characters ingame (the original idea was to have 10 romanceable NPCs, but after seeing all the love from the community, the team at Pathea Games will work on adding new stories, AI routines and other things necessary to make more non-playable characters a romance option).

Just like My Time at Portia, My Time at Sandrock takes place in a wholesome post-apocalyptic world 300 years after the Day of Calamity destroyed most modern technologies.

After accepting a job offer to become Sandrock’s newest Builder, you’ll arrive in the wild and rugged city-state, where it’s up to you and your trusty tools to restore the community to its former glory. Gather resources to build machines, befriend locals, and defend Sandrock from monsters — all while saving the town from economic ruin!
