“A simple game with a deep meaning.” — INSIDE

“Experience the role humans play in the ecosystem, and understand that we cannot take whatever we want from Mother Nature without repercussion. Learn how to cherish valuable resources.” — App Store Feature

///// Introduction /////
Desertopia is a relaxing and therapeutic idle simulator where you can spend just 5–10 minutes a day transforming a barren desert island into a vibrant, thriving habitat — all at your own pace.
Your goal is to care for the island and help restore its wildlife.
Occasionally, you’ll need to pick up floating trash to keep the environment clean.
You’ll also make decisions about events triggered by human activity.
Will you allow a tour group to visit the island? Should you build a resort?
Every choice you make will directly influence how the island develops.

///// Features /////
・Storybook-style art: Simply watching the animals roam the island can feel therapeutic on its own.
・100+ animals: Desertopia features over 100 unique creatures and 25+ terrain types. More than 15 legendary species may appear under special conditions — some only during festivals and holidays!
・Weather and water evaporation: Water evaporation is a unique gameplay mechanic. You’ll need to summon rain regularly to maintain livable conditions for your wildlife. If neglected, the island will gradually revert to a barren desert.
・Multi-layered music: Enjoy rich, evolving background music that shifts depending on the area and the animals inhabiting it.
・Events: Cruise ships bring visitors and special events to the island, each with both benefits and drawbacks. How your island evolves is entirely up to you.
