My Time at Sandrock

My Time at Sandrock expanded StreamerHouse's cozy gaming in 2022, peaking at 377 viewers for Pathea Games' desert sequel that outgrew its DLC origins. Originally planned as add-on content for My Time at Portia, the project ballooned into a full sequel funded by $524,770 across nearly 10,000 Kickstarter backers from 160+ countries. Early Access launched May 26th, 2022, with the full release hitting November 2nd, 2023 across PC and consoles. StreamerHouse appreciated the shift to Sandrock—a desolate community needing a Builder to gather resources, construct machines, and save the town from economic ruin. The sequel added quick-switch combat between melee and third-person shooting, plus 4-player co-op for shared construction projects and romantic moments. IGN called it "a joy" and better than Portia in almost every way, though technical issues at launch drew criticism. With 30+ new characters and hundreds of sidequests, the game offered depth for life sim fans. By September 2024, Pathea announced My Time at Evershine, proving the series had legs beyond its humble Portia beginnings.
