About the Game
A desert farming, crafting and exploration sim in a dusty frontier town, with online co-op for friends.
My Time at Sandrock blends farming, crafting, simulation and light role-playing with an adventure streak, and Steam tags it as casual and indie. You take on the role of a new workshop owner in Sandrock, a small desert town that wants its former glory back. Your daily life centers on the workshop, where you gather resources and build a range of machines and devices, then combine them into setups that suit how you work.
Beyond the workshop, the game asks you to make the desert livable. You can turn barren ground into fertile farmland, cook, raise animals unique to the region, and expand your fences into a proper ranch. Venturing out means exploring the wide desert, digging through ruins for artifacts from the old world, and fighting monsters, with a skill tree that unlocks new combat abilities and weapons along the way.
What stands out is how much of the game is about people. The store page mentions a massive story, hundreds of side quests, and more than 40 new characters to get to know, some of whom can lead to romance. Other touches include desert mounts, a weather system, a house expansion system so every home can look different, and mini-games that break up the workshop routine. Co-op lets you share the whole experience with friends.

Who It Is (and Is Not) For
Recommended For
Players who enjoy cozy farming and crafting loops with a bit of exploration will likely find plenty to love here. It also suits anyone who wants to build and farm alongside friends, since online co-op covers you and three others.
Not Recommended For
If you want a fast-paced action game, the combat here is only one part of a larger life sim and may feel secondary. Players who dislike slow, routine-driven daily tasks like farming and machine upkeep should probably look elsewhere.
What the Steam Reviews Say
Steam shows My Time at Sandrock with a Very Positive label, which is 極度好評 in Taiwan Steam wording, and 88% of its reviews are positive. That percentage is strong, and the volume behind it is substantial, with tens of thousands of reviews backing the rating.
On Steam, the label reflects both the share of positive reviews and how many reviews sit behind it, so a high score built on a large pool carries more weight than the same score from a handful of players. Tens of thousands of reviews usually gives a fairly stable picture of how players feel, though it still reflects people who chose to leave a review.

These are Taiwan Steam store prices in NT$. The game currently sells for NT$ 990, which is its regular price, and it is not on a tracked discount right now. Our lowest recorded paid price is NT$ 297, which we logged on 2026-09-12, a 70% deepest discount on that record.
We have seen the game discounted often, and it has never been free to keep in our records. Because our price record is still short, this verdict is tentative: the drops we have logged are real, but we do not yet have enough history to predict the next sale with confidence.
If you want it now, NT$ 990 is what you would pay today. If you can wait, add it to your wishlist, turn on sale notifications, and watch the price trend here before deciding.
