Howdy builders!
Act 3 is finally here and marks the journey towards the main storyline finale!
Enjoy the brand new main story content, side quests, new romanceable stories, new areas to explore, and much more!
It has been five months since our last update, and we have been diligently working on this, although the workload has been quite substantial. We hope for your understanding. Below, you will find a comparison between My Time in Sandrock and My Time in Portia. The story expansion from Portia to Sandrock indeed consumed a significant amount of our time, and we want to thank you for your continued support.
