About

The town of Critter Cove used to attract visitors from all over the world. Now it’s mostly known for dirty streets and trash-strewn beaches. Can you help us turn things around?
Critter Cove is a life sim and town builder game with a beautiful, handcrafted open world to explore.

Spend your doubloons to upgrade buildings and explore the world to discover new blueprints and gather resources to grow your town. More upgrades will improve Critter Cove’s tourist rating.
The greater your tourist rating, the more new tourists will visit. The more new tourists, the more money in your pockets to upgrade the town!


Venture out into the mysterious tropical archipelago peppered with the ruins of a long-destroyed civilization. Dive beneath the waves to salvage the treasures of the old world. Rescue shipwrecked critters. Unearth exotic ingredients. It’s a wondrous world of mysterious ruins, shipwrecks and ancient technology waiting to be discovered.


As you explore, you’ll find resources to craft hundreds of different items, discover new construction blueprints and bring home unique plants to grow on your farm. Turn mundane salvage into something new and unique, and improve your tourism rating by offering your freshly grown food to visitors.


Use tourist money and salvaged items to restore rundown buildings and open up entirely new stores and venues for tourists and townsfolk. Craft decorations and interactive objects that will improve the town and make it uniquely yours. You can even decorate your very own home with hand-crafted (or hand-looted) furniture!


You’ll need help to restore the town, and luckily the world of Critter Cove is filled with many colorful characters. Some are easy-going and friendly… others might need some convincing! Rescue Critters across the world, assist them in building a home and help them find the perfect job in your community. Their happiness is the key to your success.


Embark on quests to find hidden treasures or ancient relics scattered throughout the world. Donate these artifacts to the Museum of Mystery to uncover the secrets of the long, long ago - and then charge tourists a small fee to the museum so they can absorb some local culture!


Create your perfect island persona with our robust customization system. Human or animal? Mammal or reptile? The head of a parrot and the tail of a monkey? It’s entirely up to you! Mix and match your physical attributes to your heart's content and discover that perfect tropical drip with hundreds of outfit combinations to craft and discover.

多くの人が述べているがキャラクリは人間以外のパターンが多く他のゲームと比べるとケモナー大歓喜なクリエイトが出来ると思う。 キャラもケモノ好きなら可愛いと思えるデザインをしていると思う。 しかし、このゲームに登場するキャラの良い点は上記の点のみである。 20時間程プレイして出会ったキャラはことごとくカスばかりだったことを述べておきたい。 全てのキャラが主人公に寄生して生きているといっても過言ではない。 出会い頭に頼みごとをしてくるが、そのお礼がゴミ同然のものでプレイには何の影響を与えない。 そのあとはテントをくれ、家の素材をくれ、地図を買ってくれ(なぜか断ると友好度が下がる)等、プレイすればするほど目障りになってくる。 このゲームでは大部分は終わることのないおつかいが繰り返されている。 あれを持ってこい、これを持ってい来いと新しいアイテムの入手=新しい献上品である。 このゲームではチェストが全部共有されていて、どのチェストを調べてもすべてにアクセスできるのだが、献上する際にはなぜか使えないので、所持している必要がある。せっかくのまともな機能もこれでは宝の持ち腐れである。 そのせいで別の島でのお使いの場合には●●を持ってこい→帰って持ってくる→次は●●を持ってこい→帰って持ってくるを繰り返されるのである。 攻略サイトなどを駆使すれば避けられるのでろうが、それでええんか?とは思う。 それに拍車をかけるように徒歩、船ともに移動が遅い。ある程度は進めたが特に移動を改善するアイテムなどは出現していない。 そのくせファストトラベルは無いのである。これでは強制的にスローライフを強いられているのも同然である。 クラフトに関しては、残骸を分解して一定数まで達したらレシピを覚えられるシステムだが、必要数が30などがざらにある。 そのためには漂流物は時間経過で復活するとはいえ、何度も同じ場所に来る羽目になる。 7往復くらい要求される物もあったりする。ふざけるな そして最後に襲い掛かってくるのは金策である。 入手できる金に比べて要求される金銭があまりにも膨大である。プレイ時間を水増しするのに持って来いである。 金の入手量は進行してもさほど変わらないにもかかわらず、要求される量は加速度的に増えていく。 ここでも住民たちは一切協力はしない。 とにかく全てにおいて不便を強いられており、強制的にスローライフを送らされているのである。 と、ここまで不満点を挙げてきたが、もちろんいい点もあった。 寝ないでも食べ物さえあればスタミナを回復できるので日を跨いでも問題なく作業を続けられるのである。 他には・・・ 特に思いつかない。 自分ではろくに動かない誰かの為に、延々と終わらない無間地獄のようなボランティアを続けられる人には楽しめるゲームであると思うが、せっかちは人には向いていないと思います。

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Do you like Animal Crossing? My Time at Portia? Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker? Than stop reading this and play this game.
This game is great. It goes beyond the typical cozy game (gathering, building, fishing, cooking, etc) and has a lot of reasons to keep playing. It feels very satisfying seeing the island get more populated and have more businesses. I love seeing the critters find their place with their homes and jobs. I thought the museum was especially brilliant - to see the artifacts you've gathered displayed, and adding to the tourism success. Exploring the surrounding islands and underwater has been a joy (my cat would often sit on my lap and watch it, which he doesn't do with any other game haha). There's honestly so much to love. I'm not big on quests, but these ones didn't bother me too much; they usually contributed to the bigger picture. I'm playing in early access, and there have been a few glitches here and there, like only one swimming fin coming on. But nothing major. One overall comment is that the game could use more instructions on how to do things. I find myself googling a lot (recipes, how to use keys or lures, which machine is used for crafting what, etc.) I also don't like the sound of the critter's talking lol, but that might just be me. Easily one of my top 3 favourite games, and well worth it.
Great game, terrible soundtrack. It almost ruins the game.
Please help i am under the water!
[h2] おすすめできる人 [/h2] ・夏の海を探索する清涼感を味わいたい。けどサブノーティカは怖くてできない。(海メインの探索&ライフシムは貴重!) ・ゼロからの街づくりじゃ自信が無い。けど空き地に屋台や遊具を配置するくらいならやってみたい。 ・ケモノ・ロボ系の住民が好き。キービジュアルの猫の子(サミ)が可愛い。 ・住民を選別したり、彼らの部屋や服装をコーディネートしたい。 [h2] 許容が必要な点 [/h2] ・バグやテキスト未挿入など、発売から2年経つけどあからさまな開発中感。 (ただ大型アプデ頑張ってるし、日本語が機械翻訳じゃなくてローカライズなのも嬉しい。応援したい) ・走る泳ぐなど動作が遅い&資源集めが常に求められる。 (泳ぎの速度は進行度に合わせて改善。資源は終盤に自動化) ・住民の終わらないお使い&失礼な態度 ・住民の性格/会話のバリエーションの少なさ(3~4種類の人格パターンの使いまわし) ・住民と恋愛要素なし(サミサミサミサミサミ)
Look, I've only played for a short time, but I wanted to share a quick update for Deck users. This game runs brilliantly on the Deck. Very surprised, as I've recently tried a few cozyish games like Lou's Lagoon and Forever Skies, which ran like crap.
It could be a very fun game, but I get terrible motionsickness from playing it.
It's Animal Crossing or My Time in Portia with a dash of Subnautica for favor. Build friendships with an odd collection of creatures then make those friends a bunch of furniture, food, and clothing. Rinse and repeat for dozens for hours, if this sounds fun to you then jump aboard and set sail.
I really like this game. Yes I can think of improvements, but I am hooked.
