The cozy life sim calendar has a new date circled on it, and this one comes with capybaras.

Starsand Island will launch into Steam Early Access on February 1, developer Seed Sparkle Lab announced through the Press Engine portal. The seaside life sim invites players to leave the city grind behind and embrace the simple joys of country life.

On the island, players live alongside capybaras, cats and dogs, reel in a big catch, and explore the enchanting Moonlit Forest. Farming, fishing, animal care and gentle exploration make up the rhythm of island days, in a game built as an escape from the hustle of modern life.

Farming in Starsand Island is paired with a full island community to meet, errands and discoveries spread across the shore, and a home that grows with the seasons. The Moonlit Forest gives the island its magical edge, a place where the cozy routine gives way to exploration and surprises.

The Early Access launch is the next step for a title that has been gathering cozy-game attention with its bright art direction and its promise of a slower pace. Players who want to follow development can wishlist Starsand Island on Steam now, which also puts the February 1 Early Access launch on their radar the moment it opens.

Starsand Island heads to Steam Early Access on February 1.
