Desertopia
Spend five to ten minutes a day cultivating a desert island at your own pace.
Game overview
Care for a deserted island, restore its wildlife, collect floating trash, and decide how to respond to human activity. Every choice directly affects how the island develops.
Nothing lasts forever: water cycles, animals thrive and disappear, vegetation grows and deserts return. Every benefit can carry a cost, giving weight to even a simple decision.
