Starsand Island has characters from Sandrock

Life simulation game Starsand Island is currently in Early Access on Steam and Xbox. The full version should be released for Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Windows and Xbox Series X/S in summer 2026.

Starsand Island has familiar characters from the My Time-series, both Sandrock and Portia. 

But for them to arrive you first have to fix the transit system. You need to repair the train station, and make the train tracks operational.

 

Visitors From Portia and Sandrock

First to arrive, in summer 23, are Gust and Ginger from My Time at Portia. 

 

 

Fang, X and Nia from My Time at Sandrock arrive in autumn 1.

 

 

My Time at Sandrock: Captain the cat

A cat who is a police officer, and an integral part of a game's main story?

Captain is the third cat in My Time at Sandrock, and unlike the other two he can't be adopted by the player. Captain is a valued member of the Civil Corps, alongside with bachelors Justice and Unsuur. 

 

 

In the main story mission Belly of the Beast, Captain arrives to the scene in the nick of time, and saves the day. Thanks to him pushing the button of a giant fan, most enemy Geeglers are blown away.

 

In the side mission Who's the Deputy the player is given the task of making a hat, a Deputy Cap for Sandrock's new deputy.

But little did I know that I was in fact making a tiny hat, suitable for a cat...

 

Justice: Nevertheless, there is still one who stands out among the rest... One whose tireless dedication to law and order has earned them the right to call themselves... Deputy of the Sandrock Civil Corps!

Our next deputy is known not for brute strength, but nimbleness! And wisdom!

Our deputy brings a uniqueness to the team, and fills in the gaps in our Corps skillset with raw, individual talent.

...With flowing black hair that shimmers in the sunlight as they dish out hearty, heaping helpings of justice with elegance and finesse!

Let's give it up for our next deputy: Captain Caaaaat!

Mi-an: What the? The cat!?

 

 

Justice: Yes, Captain, or should I say, Deputy Captain has not only been diligent in patrol work, but this year's mice incidents have fallen to an all-time low, yes, there really is no question that Captain is the most deserving of this title.

 

 

So at this point of the story Captain becomes Deputy Captain, and he's proudly showing off his new hat around town.

 

 

When a certain character is kidnapped, Captain is the one to trace the kidnapper and their victim. What is used as a tracking device? Catnip...

 

 

Later in the story Captain is Rat Queen's greatest fear and enemy, she even calls him The Beast. 

 

 

After completing the main story the player receives a medal, Civil Corps Medal of Honor⁠. When given the option for a speech, I of course chose to thank Captain. Later I found out that if you keep choosing the options, Captain gets impatient and annoyed...

 

 

My Time at Sandrock (affiliate link) is easily one of my all time favorite games. It has everything: romance, humor, action, and lots to play. Not to mention all the cats, and other animals. In my opinion Sandrock is near perfection, and I can't get enough of it.

 

 

My Time at Sandrock Multiplayer: Guide

My Time at Sandrock Multiplayer on PS5

 

Finally, about six months later than promised, My Time at Sandrock multiplayer arrived to Playstation 5. To get it you need to download it separately from the Playstation Store, it is there named as Sandrock Online. It's free if you own the base game.

Chronically the multiplayer is set before the single player. Originally it was supposed to even have different characters, such as Howlett. But for some reason the players didn't like this idea, and so the NPC characters are the same in both versions of the game.

 

My Time at Sandrock Multiplayer vs Single Player Differences

There are many differences between My Time at Sandrock's multiplayer and single player, so even the most seasoned player might struggle at first. And most guides online are only focused on the single player, so it might be difficult to find the needed info.

There's no story mode in multiplayer. There are no main story missions, and no side missions. You only get commissions to build the town.

You can play the whole multiplayer experience solo. Having friends helping you would certainly be beneficial at some points, but I personally only play alone, and have managed just fine.

The game is cross platform. You can select to turn crossplay on or off. You can choose whether you want other players to be able to join your town.

The game saves automatically, there's no manual saving. You can NOT pause the game, which makes things even more hectic, and on fighting missions even more difficult when monsters keep attacking you while you are trying to use healing items.

In multiplayer you aren't forced to sleep. You won't collapse, and no one will carry you home. If you choose to sleep you get stamina and health points while doing so. 

The shops are open 24/7. You also have access to everyone's houses and rooms around the clock, so you can return commissions even in the middle of the night.

Yakmel cart rides are instant, and also free if you unlock an early skill for it (highly recommended).

Everything happens instantly. If you make a mistake, you can't go back.

 

 

There are things I wish I knew before I started playing the multiplayer. So here are some tips to get you started. 

 

How to get started

So what to do first, besides starting with those pesky commissions? Getting rid of the rocks which block the pathways in town is a good idea. And building the money tree and the sphinx cat right next to your workshop.

 

 

Bronze Axe & Bronze Pickhammer

You can buy these straight at the start from Hugo's shop Hammer Time, and they make life a lot easier. So no need to build these on your own. For Iron Axe and Iron Pickhammer, you get the recipe from Hammer Time, once you have leveled your workshop enough. And same applies also to better tools after that.

City Hall's Urban Planner

This is where you make the city projects, and I suggest you start doing them straightaway. I didn't. By doing these projects, you unlock many things to town, including the arrivals of many characters, such as Nia, Fang and Logan! So don't ignore the Urban Planner like I did.

There's a nice mission, where you have to make 80 pcs (!!) of rail road. No wonder why this is called multiplayer... Little help, please? I'm still doing everything solo, I couldn't trust a stranger with my town... In multiplayer you share everything with other players, including money. But actually this rail road mission sounds more daunting than it is. It didn't take me too much time to make these rail road tracks, just had to keep making lots of manganese steel bars with two civil furnaces. And for some reason I ended up having 39 extra rail tracks, who's gonna want to buy those?! (spoiler: Yan)

 

 

Commission Board

This is where all the action is, just like in the base game. You can get new commissions every morning.

Do note that there's also a whole other menu (on PS4/PS5 you press R2 to get it), where are personal commissions. I missed this for weeks ingame time at the start. Does it really matter? Well, there's a trophy where you need to do 100 personal commissions, so there's that.

 

Adopting pets

I'm sure you are very relieved to know that the pets are there from day one. Nemo, Macchiato, Banjo and Meercat. No sign of Coco or X though, until you unlock them.

The pet adoption system is different in multiplayer. In single player you need to befriend the pets to be able to adopt them, but that's not needed in multiplayer. Here you need to build pet houses for them, and once you have one in your yard the option to adopt will pop over the pets' heads. It really is much easier and less time consuming. Then you can send your pets to collect water and other things, just like in the base game.

How to build the pet houses? While standing on you yard choose home editing. You also need to level up your workshop enough for each pet.

 

Do you have to kill any animals?

When Vivi's commission required lots of Yakmel hair I really didn't want to start killing animals. Luckily you can buy them from Wandering Y Store, along with some other animal products. Also Vivi sells leather and other things. So check the stores before going for a murder spree. Who could kill those cute and innocent animals? Those angry birds can go to hell though.

Signing up for Festivals

There's a bit of confusion how to sign up for the events. For example I totally missed the first event of the year, Day of the Bright Sun. I simply couldn't find the box where to sign up. It was supposed to be at Martle's Square, but there was just the event store. So when the day arrived, I followed the airship, but it didn't drop any presents. I missed the whole festival, and therefore it didn't happen even for the other townsfolk. This is how important we builders are, the whole world revolves around us.

Only afterwards I learned online that you can only register for this event on the morning of it, so right before that happens. Darn.

So on the morning of the Dance-off I was scared. Would I be able to participate this time? I wouldn't want to miss all the events on my first year, just for the sake of trophies. So the first thing I did that morning was to go to the dancing platform, by the Blue Moon Saloon. And once again, there was no option to sing up. Once again there was just the Festival store. I was mortified, sure I wouldn't be able to participate.

But the Dance-off doesn't start until the afternoon. And when it begins you can just go there and start the dancing option from the booth. So no worries, no need to sing up beforehand. I danced and won and got the trophy, on the easiest difficulty!

 

How to get copper and bronze ore

Unlike in single player, in multiplayer you get these ores from The Breach. Before you can get there you need to clear the rocks blocking it.

How to get iron

You can get iron bars from the Eufaula Salvage, there's iron scrap which you can put to a recycler. To get iron (pyrite) ore you first need to unlock Gecko Station ruins by building the tram cart from Urban city planner at the City hall.

 

How to get granite

Then I faced another dilemma. I accepted a commission which required granite, but I didn't know where to find it. The answer is: Valley of Whispers. You know, the place with the gas. I spent one night there, mining granite, sulfur, spinels, sisal and even aluminum scrap. And yes, this is similar to the single player. You can get those things from above the gas, so no need for the protective suit. You can buy that suit from Tailor Made when you progress enough.

Gravity motor in Multiplayer

But then I hit a roadblock. Where to get gravity motors in Sandrock multiplayer? Once again all the guides were about the single player. I failed one or two commissions because I couldn't find this item anywhere.

I had to learn a whole new thing about this game, because I'm that stupid.

When entering any ruins you can choose multiplayer or singleplayer option from the menu on top of the screen. 

Multiplayer option only has 3 levels, and never saves your progress.

Single player has more levels.

You get gravity motors in multiplayer from Mole Cave ruins, but only by choosing the single player option before entering the ruins. Gravity motors can then be found starting from level 7.

Fiber mesh

Yet another dilemma I had, because apparently I can't read. Later in the game you have to make air purifiers, and those need fiber mesh. I thought the answer is fiber scrap, which can be found at least from the Bend. But no.

Fiber mesh can be found from Gecko Station ruins. In singleplayer mode it is available on levels 1-6, and it can also be found from Advanced tool boxes.

Can you romance in My Time at Sandrock Multiplayer?

Yes, you can romance and date characters also in multiplayer, and you can get married to them. You just need to unlock most of the bachelors first by doing city projects from the Urban Planner at City Hall.

You can NOT have children in multiplayer.

 

 

Can you marry Pen?

I got wondering is it possible to marry Pen in the multiplayer, because you can't do that in the base game. And if you have played it you know the reasons. But there is no story mode in online, so technically there shouldn't be any reason why you couldn't marry Pen. But... I doubt it's possible. I haven't unlocked him yet.

 

Gift guide

Here's a little gift guiden to some of the bachelors. What items to give them early on, when you don't have access to better stuff yet?

Qi likes data discs and power stones.

Unsuur likes rocks like spinel, gold, opal.

I noticed that Logan loves sharpening stones. You can buy them from Hammer Time. He also likes medicines such as Hemostat, you can buy them from Fang's clinic once you have build it. So I'm buying my way to Logan's heart? Yes please...

 

Logan in My Time at Sandrock Multiplayer

You unlock Logan by doing an Urban planner mission, where you have to kill some Geeglers. And if you are doing this solo/alone, expect to die a lot in this quest. Even if you bring along food and healing items. Remember that you can't pause the game to use them...!

 

Logan & Fang plushies

ad

 

Where to find Logan after you have unlocked him? He usually roams around the Eufaula desert, past the Gecko Station ruins. He can also be found on the bridge between Sandrock and the desert, Shonash bridge. Sometimes he does come to town. But most of the time he runs, fast.

To be able to get Logan as your lover you also need to build his Hunter Outpost.

How to unlock Fang

Like I have said when you start the game some characters haven't yet arrived to town. These include Arvio, Amirah, Venti, Nia, Pablo, Logan, Ernest, Pen, Grace and our dear doctor Fang.

 

 

To unlock Fang and X you need to build the Clinic to town, via City Hall's Urban Planner.

Sandrock Multiplayer Trophy Guide: Iron Chef

Successfully made 10 different dishes.

I struggled to get this trophy, to the point of sheer frustration. After making way over 10 different recipes/meals I just wanted to give up.

But here's the trick how to get this Sandrock Online trophy:

Make 10 different meals in the main cooking tab, not the experiment (Test Tube) one.

I just bought enough different ingredients, and then went through the recipes, one by one, making one of each. And finally the trophy popped.

Sandrock Multiplayer Trophy Guide: Anti-Santa

Nab 10 gifts on the Day of the Bright Sun.

Like I said before, you need to register for this festival on the morning of it. It begins at 9 am, so if you wake up at 7 am, do absolutely nothing else. Run straight to the Martle's Square, and sing up at the box there.

For me the hardest part of this trophy was not knowing/remembering which button to use to get/take the presents. The answer is (on Playstation): triangle. △

I was only barely able to get this trophy, NPCs were so darn fast.

Sandrock Online: Pro Gamer trophy

Get 500 Game Center Tokens.

This trophy was buggy even in single player, and now it didn't pop for me in multiplayer, even though I had over 500 tokens. I was so frustrated because it was my last trophy to be earned.

There's a trick from singleplayer which worked for me: Put your game center tokens from your backbag to your item box, and/or vice versa. This popped the trophy for me!

Sandrock Multiplayer Paradise Lost challenge: Control Cat

I desperately needed help for this. I tried this online challenge three times, only on the fourth try I was successful. I simply couldn't get to the area were at least one of the panels is. Every way I tried to get there, there was always an invisible wall. At this point I thought the only way that would help me would be a video of how to do it, but there isn't enough info/guides about Sandrock Online... online.

But here's the trick how to beat Control Cat in multiplayer:

There are actually two cats.

To beat the first one, simply break the glowing panel in front of it. Then find a glowing blue panel on the backside of the cat, and break it. This kills the first cat.

Then you'll get access to the second area, and the second cat. The panels are on its both side. You first have to break one of them, then beat the blue panel on the cat itself. Then repeat on the other side. By then the cat has moved upstairs.

Here's a video how to beat Control Cat in Sandrock Online.

My Time at Sandrock multiplayer PS5 release date!

Christmas comes early for some console players of My Time at Sandrock.

Originally Pathea promised that the multiplayer would arrive to consoles in "summer 2024", but that didn't happen.

But now there's finally a release date of My Time at Sandrock online for PS5 and Switch, and it is December 19, 2024.

 

UPDATE: Pathea announced that PS5 wouldn't get Sandrock Online until December 23rd, but I was able to download it from the Playstation Store already on the 19th.

 

 

So the long wait is over. You can now experience the online mode in cross-play with Xbox, PC, PS5 and Switch players.

Do note that there is no story in online mode, you just build the city.

 

 

And if you ask me it's rather unfortunate that there are no extra trophies for the online mode.

 

UPDATE: Sandrock Online actually has 31 glorious trophies! You can check the trophy list for example here.

My Time at Sandrock: Who to marry?

I promised to write a tell all tale about my three marriages, so here it is. 

It was pretty clear who my favorite bachelors in My Time at Sandrock (affiliate link) are. On my first playthrough I ended up dating five of them at the same time. 

Hey, don't judge me. Before an update you couldn't even make them mad or jealous by kissing your lover right in front of another one. The jealousy only happened if you were caught while on a date with another lover. That's why I rarely dared to go on a date...

 

My carefully chosen five sweethearts can be seen in the image below. They are Qi, Unsuur, Ernest, Fang and Logan.

 

Who did I marry?

From early on it was clear who I wanted to marry: Qi. The nerdy, quirky, socially incompetent scientist. And I did end up marrying him first, although by that time I had other eligible bachelors on my mind. I had made a save before marrying him, and reverted back to that save right after the wedding. So long, goodbye, nice knowing you?

Marrying Fang

 

When it comes to Fang it was a slow burn all right. If you want to marry Fang you first have to go through his medical trials. Befriending X helps too. It takes forever for Fang to even accept your gifts. And when you are finally able to give him the heart knot, he sends it back on the next day. After that he tries to leave town, and you stop him...

There were two reasons why I decided that Fang should be my forever marriage. First was my true love X. Yes, you read that right. When it comes to My Time at Sandrock, Fang's pet bird is the one for me.

Second was the fact that only Fang had original content after marriage, and I wanted to see that special mission. Now with the free romance update and the Love Chronicles DLC even more marriage candidates have post marriage quests.

And there was also a third reason: I didn't want to break Fang's heart. Doing so seems to be the most cruel thing you can do in this game. After everything that he has been through you can't just leave him or reject him. And how he finally dared to open his heart for the player.

 

 

Marrying Logan

 

But soon after marrying Fang I realized that I had made a mistake. I couldn't get Logan out of my mind.

It was not supposed to happen. I was not going to fall for Logan.

Even in real life I had three dreams about Logan. It was as if my subconscious was trying to tell me something.

So I married Logan. In that earlier save where I hadn't married anyone yet. So I didn't break poor Fang's heart.

After all this I realized that the hype was real. Logan (affiliate link) can steal your player, and your heart.

 

 

Next time I'm going to make him my forever marriage.

Ps.

Why Heidi sends a jealous letter?

I got married three times. Two of these times Heidi sent me an angry letter, and I don't understand why. I was NOT romantically involved with her. I was just her friend. I never once chose a heart option in a dialogue with her. 

Shoulda known you were trouble the second you walked into my life. Guess that one's on me. So long, Heidi.

 

 

She sent me this jealous letter when I married Qi and Fang. But she did not send it when I married Logan.

So should I interpret it this way: Heidi wants Qi and Fang for herself, and is jealous of them. But she does not want Logan... 

EDIT!!

Finally I found out what this letter is all about. It's actually a letter from LOGAN, not Heidi. That explains a lot!

My Time at Sandrock: New romance missions coming soon!

The long awaited new romance content for My Time at Sandrock has finally received a release date. 

Free romance update and Love Chronicles DLC are coming to Steam on October 8, 2024. They will be released for consolers later. It could be a lot of later, judging how Pathea was supposed to release the multiplayer for consoles "this summer", and Playstation hasn't received that update yet.

 

Update: Release date for consoles is November 1, 2024!

 

My Time at Sandrock: Free romance update

This free update includes new post-marriage romance quests for Justice, Owen, Grace, Qi, Logan, Amirah, Fang, Mi-an, Nia and Unsuur. These missions will naturally trigger after you marry said characters. 

Owen will also get a new romance mission which will trigger after you have reached boyfriend/girlfriend status or higher with him. This means you won't get it if you have already married him...

This free update also has a new quest for Miguel...

And it also has another new quest which is available when your relationship with Qi and Hugo reaches friend level or higher.

We knew for a long time that Owen would get new romance missions, but we got a lot more than expected. I bet especially Logan's new romantic content will make a lot of people swoon. Including me...

My Time at Sandrock: Love Chronicles DLC

This paid DCL includes new romance quests for Mi-an, Nia, Fang and Logan. And it also has two Chronicles quests.

My Time at Evershine announced!

The next game in the My Time game series has been announced. It's gonna be called My Time at Evershine.

My Time at Evershine is a sequel to highly entertaining cozy games My Time at Sandrock and My Time at Portia.

The Kickstarter campaign for the game will be launched later in September 2024.

Fans of the series were trying to guess where the next game would be take place, but they all were wrong. I don't think Evershine has even been mentioned in the series before. At least seems to be a lot greener than Sandrock, thank you for that. I don't have a dime to spare but I'm actually thinking about backing this project. That's how much I love this series.

You can subscribe to pre-launch on Kickstarter now.

The release date of My Time at Evershine  is not yet known.

My Time at Sandrock: Short marriage guide

I get commissions for purchases made through the links in this post, at no cost to you.

 

Is this a short marriage guide, or guide to a short marriage? Maybe both. I have married three bachelors in My Time at Sandrock so far, just to see the romantic scenes.

So you have decided to marry the bachelor of your dreams? Which one is he? Let me guess: Logan? He surely is the most popular one.

 

My Time at Sandrock marriage requirements

It goes without saying that your relationship with the intended spouse needs to be good enough, at least on Lover level. You also need to have level 5 workshop. You should also have a double bed in your house.

Then the first thing you need is an Engagement ring from the Mysterious man, who only comes to town once a month, on the 20th, and stays for two days.

You can give the engagement ring as a normal gift, or during a date. But there's a special proposal spot, that is a rather hidden gem. If you start from your house follow the train tracks to the right. Turn left before the bridge, and you are on the edge of the cliff, where you can find this beautiful setting. I only knew about this place when I proposed to my third husband, Fang.

 

Attention: There are some bachelors who propose to you themselves, so you don't have to propose to them yourself! These two bachelors are Logan and Owen.

The wedding at the church has to be scheduled for a later date, 1-7 days after the proposal. But for all intents and purposes, after the proposal you are married, and your spouse moves in with you.

How to start the wedding?

Go to the church during the wedding day, and approach the desk on the left. From there choose to have the wedding. The wedding does NOT trigger automatically! 

Best wedding quests: the pets! But of course that's just my opinion. Here I am pictured with my first husband, Qi.

 

All the bachelors have the same post marriage missions: fishing, cooking, taking a walk, and talking with your spouse.

When it comes to bachelors Fang has a unique post marriage quest. This mission is called "Him", and it should trigger fairly soon after getting married. Tip: This mission lasts for several days, and during it you need many Hyacint orchids. Here's a good guide where to find them.

Also Arvio/Amirah have a post marriage quest which involve their parents. 

Marriage benefits

You spouse helps you around the house, and the workshop. What the spouse can do varies between bachelors. For example Fang can dispatch the pets. 

So you want to have a baby?

Once your relationship with your spouse is good enough, an option to ask for a baby appears. But your spouse can also suggest having a baby himself, and I waited for that. For me it happened on the next morning after the baby option bubble appeared. For this option to appear you also need to place a baby crib to your house.

 

The pregnancy lasts for two in-game weeks, and if I'm not totally wrong you do NOT lose health and stamina points during it, like in Portia. So that's definitely an improvement. My baby was born right after the end credits, what a timing.

 

Babies seem to take forever to grow, and I didn't have the patience to see that beyond the stage 2, the crawling phase.

But I must say that Fang is a very dedicated father. The child is always his number one priority. If the baby needs something, Fang runs straight home from his clinic, the other side of town. I once followed him the whole way. He must have a baby monitor... that works a very long distance. Are all the spouses in My Time at Sandrock this dedicated? To be honest I don't know.

 

May all your marriage wishes come true...

My Time at Sandrock: Best bachelors to romance

I get commissions for purchases made through the links in this post, at no cost to you.

There might be some spoilers in this blog text/photos, so read at your own risk. 

 

In My time at Portia choosing a husband was pretty straightforward for me, because the trophy said it had to be Gust. On my own I would have never chosen him, he was always so rude to me. Until he fell in love with me... I always thought that I'd divorce him and marry someone else, but in the end I found myself wanting to be with him forever. Love works in strange ways.

But in My time at Sandrock I was free to choose my own husband. And it was so difficult, there are 21 love interests in total. This blog post is about the bachelors, not the bachelorettes.

Early in the game I kept running into Arvio. But when he said how handsome Fang is I realized that he must prefer the company of men. So as a female builder that meant no Arvio for me. But if you don't date Arvio you miss his reverse confession, and his clingy behaviour afterwards. It's really easy to romance Arvio. Just choose heart options during the picnic, and that will trigger his confession.

 

What is a reverse confession?

In the context of this game reverse confession means an NPC initiating a romantic relationship with the player. Some bachelors/bachelorettes can do reverse confessions, some don't. 

Which bachelors have reverse confession?

Bachelors with reverse confession are Arvio, Unsuur, Qi and Logan. So don't try to give them the heart knot, they have something special planned for you!

Burgess got on my bad side right from the start. On my third day in Sandrock, he commented how tired I look. That day happened to be my birthday! Thank you for the compliment, you really have made my day!

 

Then out of the blue comes Unsuur. He makes a surprise reverse confession early in the game.  So in my opinion Unsuur is definitely the easiest bachelor to start a relationship with. I was not interested in Unsuur before his confession, but found it difficult to turn him down. And instantly regretted saying no to him. Unsuur is the easiest bachelor to romance. You don't even need to gain relationship points with him, just advancing in the main story will trigger his confession.

 

Scientist Qi is heavily involved in the main story, so it's easy to gain relationship points with him. I kept giving him just power stones and data discs as gifts. Also Qi makes a reverse confession, and suddenly he had become my sweetheart. Qi is really adorable in his nerdiness and social awkwardness, and he's definitely the type I would fall for irl.

 

 

I was interested in Ernest right from the start, because he is a writer. But I never seemed to find him, to be able to advance my relationship with him. Finally I realized that he spends his time at the church Apartments, but still on too many days I forgot that he even exists. Ernest ended up rejecting my heart knot twice, which really hurt. I think it could have been because I hadn't done all his friendship missions yet. Nonetheless then he finally said yes to me. But when he talks about his love for me... because of those earlier rejections I just feel empty inside. I mean, earlier you didn't love me and now you do? I don't buy it.

 

Sandrock's doctor Fang is a total weirdo at first, not even speaking with the player. He communicates through his pet bird X. It's difficult to even start any kind of social interactions with him. It takes forever to get in speaking terms with Fang, or to be able to give him gifts. In my opinion Fang is the most difficult bachelor to romance. First you have to participate to his medical trials enough times, and those are only available on Wednesdays and Fridays, by his clinic. It's also a nice tip to know that on Sundays Fang spends some time at the graveyard.

 

 

But when you finally get to speaking terms with Fang he's just so nice. Always being worried about you. He worries do you take care of yourself and sleep enough and bring his medicine with you. It's so refreshingly different from the arrogant pricks such as Gust and Qi. I'm swoon by Fang's caring nature.

 

 

But like I said it takes literally forever to romance Fang. When you finally get the gifting option you get a mission where you need to buy something from the Mysterious man. For me this mission triggered of course so that I had almost a month to wait for the Mysterious man. Then you have to plant the seeds and wait for them to grow. And even after that it takes weeks before the next mission in this storyline becomes available.

 

 

But is Fang worth all the trouble and waiting? Yes. His backstory is heartbreaking. 

Which bachelors have reverse proposal?

There are only two bachelors who do a reverse proposal, Owen and Logan. So if you are an old fashioned gal like me who wants the man to propose marriage, you only have these two options. For me Owen was not an option. I even gave him a very special birthday gift: manure. "I guess you win... This will be an unforgettable birthday for me..." Poor guy...

Logan is the supposed bad guy, and arrives late in the main story. So you have to be patient if you want to get in cahoots with him. I just didn't understand his appeal. Yes, in the end he turns out to be a good guy. Or does he? Logan beats me up on at least two occasions, and I'm supposed to fall for him? I'm sorry but it doesn't work like that. If he's violent towards me then I'm not interested. Of course I did romance him, for research purposes. To experience Logan's reverse confession and proposal, and his romance missions. Later I did realize something horrific, but I'm gonna write about it in another post. 

 

Pen is a jerk who only loves himself, and I used to hate him. Then I realized he's the comical relief, just like Trevor in GTA 5. Now I regret that I didn't date Pen on my first playthrough. I could have been a part of his baker's dozen... But you should know that you can't marry Pen, he will always reject the proposal.

 

I also regret not romancing Miguel, for reasons I won't disclose here. But I'm correcting that mistake on my second playthrough.

 

Zeke has some fans who wish it would be possible to romance him. I hear you, but personally I wish I was able to marry Mort. I think I'm in love with his beard. What is this age racism, Pathea?!

 

But in the end I realized who is the love of my Sandrock life: X. 

Yes, you read that right. I totally fell in love with Fang's pet raven. It happened around the missions where X does something illegal just to get another bird Coco to be his friend. When X realized how stupid he had been and cried, it broke my heart. Poor bird, so desperate for friends.

 

 

So I'm choosing X. Fang can move in with him if he wants to. 

 

 

So far Fang is the only bachelor who has a unique post marriage quest. So if you want to see this special content you know what to do.

 

Later I'm gonna post a guide about marriage. And in another upcoming post I'm gonna reveal everything about my three (!!) marriages! We are also getting on the Logan hype train!

 

 

Oh yes, I'm obsessed with (Logan &) My Time at Sandrock!

 

My Time at Sandrock Collector's Edition for Playstation 5 is currently on sale on Amazon.
