My Time At Sandrock is the wonderful slice of life RPG sequel to My Time at Portia and its Early Access is coming out next week on May 26th 2022. Considering how much time I’ve clocked into My Time At Portia it’s an understatement to say that I’m excited for this one to come out. And as such, I’ll be coming out with some fun guides for the game.
My Time At Sandrock has Early Access on Steam and Epic Games. (Unfortunately for console players, you’ll need to wait until 2023 for its release). And just like any Early Access version of any game, Pathea will continue to add regular updates from new features, missions, character dialogue etc. So expect this guide to be changing over time.
Disclaimer: My Time At Sandrock was released on the 26th of May 2022 in Early Access. As such information in this guide is subject to changes and additions. We’ll be adding more to this guide as the game updates!
Note: This article has been updated from July 2023.
