Hello Kitty & Gudetama Island Adventure Unveiled!
Hello Kitty Island Adventure is a life simulation game released on July 28, 2023, for Apple Arcade, with later versions for Nintendo Switch and Microsoft Windows launched in January 2025. A PlayStation release is planned for later in 2025. Developed by Sunblink Entertainment, the game combines cozy life simulation elements with exploration-based gameplay, reminiscent of Animal Crossing. Players explore an island inhabited by Sanrio characters like Hello Kitty, Cinnamoroll, and Kuromi while solving puzzles and completing quests to restore an abandoned theme park.
Gudetama in Hello Kitty Island Adventure
Gudetama, the "lazy egg" Sanrio character, plays a significant role as a collectible in the game. There are 156 Gudetama scattered across various regions of the island. Players must photograph them using an in-game camera rather than picking them up. For every 12 Gudetama collected, players unlock rewards such as clothing, comics, or upgrades for the Egg Pan station.
Key Gudetama Locations
- Seaside Resort: Found on rocks, beach towels, and bridges.
- Spooky Swamp: Hidden near large trees and inside avocados.
- Rainbow Reef: Many are underwater near coral and shipwrecks.
- Mount Hothead: Located on rocky ledges and near lava pools.
Players can also participate in weekly quests like "Laziest Egg," where a special Gudetama wearing a top hat changes location each week.
Gameplay Highlights
- Players can build friendships with Sanrio characters through quests, gift exchanges, and storylines.
- The game includes activities like decorating visitor cabins and cooking with character-specific bonuses (e.g., Gudetama-themed recipes).
- Multiplayer options allow friends to explore the island together.
The game offers over 40 hours of gameplay with regular updates adding new content. It is available through Apple Arcade for $4.99/month or as a one-time purchase on other platforms.
