On your journey to literally save the planet, you’ll make friends. And some of those friends? You can totally romance. The character art is decidedly sexy. The dialogue illustrations look like they’re a sequel to Dream Daddy: A Dad Dating Simulator. In one trailer they show a mermaid… which child and current me both really, really hope you can date. There’s also farming obviously, and the bread and butter of many sims: building up your home and acquiring cosmetic items.

Some of the details look they were ripped straight from Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley.
