Hello Kitty Island Adventure is the newest sandbox life sim game based on the pop culture icon. The franchise is the tenth highest-grossing media franchise ever, and fans flocked to the game. Life simulation games have become extremely popular in the past five years. Nintendo’s Animal Crossing has grown in popularity, and on Steam, gamers can find a life sim game of just about any profession. This game was previously only available on Apple Arcade but was recently released on Steam. The reviews were overwhelmingly positive, and the developers expressed their gratitude to fans.
Hello Kitty Island Adventure Developer Thanks Fans
In a short amount of time, Hello Kitty Island Adventure has become beloved by players. On Steam, there are already over 1,000 reviews. More importantly, 93% of players recommend the game to others. This is how many gamers choose what game to buy next, making it the most effective marketing tool for a studio. The studio that made the game, Sunblink, made sure to thank fans for their work promoting the game.
“Oh gosh. We feel so buttered up by the outpouring of love on our launch day. In a mere 24 hours we saw Hello Kitty Island Adventure explode all over Steam, our Discord community grow by leaps and bounds, and an overwhelming number of awesome and hilarious reviews.”
The developers are making sure to thank fans with more than just a heartfelt thank you. After the note of gratefulness, Sunblink added, “a series of Sunblink Mails in-game over the next two weeks with a bunch of gifts to make the most out of your island adventure.” Players who already have been playing the game can expect some extra goodies in the coming weeks to help them on their adventures.
Why Is The Game So Popular?
The depth of the game is why fans love it. There is so much to explore and do on Hello Kitty Island Adventure. Developers have said that completing all of the adventure quests could take around 80 hours of gameplay. And that is barely scratching the surface of what players can uncover in the game. Hundreds of side quests involve all sorts of activities. Players may have to solve puzzles to uncover hidden ruins or they can engage in some gardening and critter wrangling. Sunblink has promised seasonal events that will coincide with real-world holidays as well.
Those are just the quests. Part of the fun of life sim games is crafting your space to be your own. There is no shortage of decorating and building opportunities. Players can also meet over 40 different characters in the game who can be gifted Island Adventure gifts. Outside of the gameplay, the Hello Kitty brand is a huge reason for the success. People love recognizable characters they can interact with in a game. Long-time fans of the franchise have flocked to the game and that has helped the initial success as well.
Final Thoughts
It’s awesome to see this type of gratitude from a developer. A game is only successful if people play it, and Sunblink knows this. Hello Kitty Island Adventure will likely see another bump in players as the positive news spreads. Will you be visiting the island in the coming weeks?
