Coral Island is a re-imagined farm sim game inspired by classics, where you grow crops, nurture animals, and befriend the islanders.

You're finally leaving Pokyo behind and moving to Coral Island

Grow crops, nurture animals, and befriend the islanders. Experience a tropical island rich and teeming with nature!

It's time to leave big-city life in Pokyo behind and start a new chapter of your life on Coral Island! Be who you want and create the idyllic farm of your dreams, where you'll tend crops, nurture animals, and build a bond with the natural world around you. Help revitalize the nearby town and its surrounding coral reefs, and forge relationships with a vibrant community of more than 50 fellow people who call Coral Island home. Farm. Decorate. Craft. Explore. Relax. Your future—and the future of Coral Island—is what you make of it.

Coral Island is available via Steam Early Access and is also available for Game Preview on Windows 10/11 and on PC Game Pass.
