Disappearing Fish Traps.

Fix for fishing traps disappearing after you save and reload. Nasty bug and unfortunately we cannot recover items lost before this fix. Very sorry for this mistake to those that are affected by it but big thank you for taking the time to report it and help us solve the issue so no one else will have this happen to them.

Critter Cove Joins the Steam Autumn Sale!

What’s that you say? It’s kind of more like Winter now? That’s true, but don’t worry, we’ll also be in the winter sale!

If you haven’t yet picked up the game, Critter Cove is the perfect antidote for your classic northern hemisphere winter blues, offering a beautiful island getaway including mostly* sunny weather, mostly* sunny dispositions and mostly* risk free! (* Barring the occasional storm, the attitude of a certain bearded dragon and anyone brave enough to put Trevor in charge of the Cafe.)

And if you missed it, now is the perfect time to jump on board, as we’re not only on sale, we’ve also just released the first of our major content updates since our Early Access launch, the Bots, Boats and Barnacles update which includes loads of new features, such as:

  • Robo helpers that can manage the day-to-day of your salvage operation
  • Brand new fishing questlines and rewards
  • A new gardening job
  • Performance and frame rate improvements
  • Boat upgrades


We’re also busy working on our next update, a huge expansion to our open world that will come with new quests, items and much more early next year.
