Set about 330 years after a calamity, My Time at Sandrock casts you as a new Builder arriving in a struggling desert town. Your work can help Sandrock recover from economic hardship and become a thriving community.
Gather materials in the desert, mines, and ruins, then use machines and crafting stations to make goods and complete commissions. Build infrastructure, grow crops, explore, and fight monsters as you expand your workshop and take on larger projects.
A main story and many sidequests introduce Sandrock’s residents, whose friendships and romances can develop over time. Progress unlocks new areas and activities while your work changes the town. Multiplayer supports up to four players in a separate sandbox-style mode, rather than the single-player story.
Players who praise the game often highlight its character-focused story and sidequests, and the satisfaction of seeing Sandrock change through their work. Reviews also value the range of workshop crafting, exploration, and relationship activities, though players differ on the story’s pacing and other aspects.
