About Dinkum

Dinkum poster

Dinkum is a survival life sim brimming with possibility, inviting you to grab your tools, gather resources and build a town while hanging out with friends and soaking up the game's laid-back charm. You can plant crops, raise animals and build your dream farm, or simply roam the island catching fish and bugs at your own pace, with changing seasons and weather shaping how your crops grow so that every day brings a new challenge.

Beyond the farm, the island stretches into red deserts, lush forests and hidden mines, all full of wild places to explore. Survival matters here: the cute-looking creatures can be dangerous, so you will need tools, weapons and a solid strategy to make it out in one piece, choosing whether to face threats head-on or outsmart them with traps.

Building your town is the long-term draw. What begins as a simple campfire and sleeping bag can blossom into a thriving settlement of shops, fountains, flower beds and windmills, and you can craft furniture, reshape the island and customize your character from head to toe, then invite friends over to admire it. As an indie RPG and simulation on PC, Dinkum leans into the joy of growing something together, letting you sell harvests and reinvest to keep expanding.
