Gameplay

Just like Animal Crossing, Castaway Paradise follows the player helping the resident animals getting the island into better shape, by repairing its buildings and bridges, and clearing rocks and weeds. You can do other things in the game, such as catching bugs, fish, collecting sea shells, and garbage that washes onshore, all of which can be sold for in-game currency. Players are also able to grow their own flowers and fruit trees, farm their own crops, decorate the island and their home, and decide what their character wears. Villagers will set quests for the player, and there is roster of tasks to do that changes several times a day, through which the player can gain experience points. There are special events and items for sale on specific days, such as holidays.[6]
