About the Game
G’Day there! Get ready to start a new fair Dinkum life and build a home on an Island inspired by the wild Australian outback. Explore tropical eucalyptus forests, survive scorching deserts, relax at cool billabongs and discover scrubland filled with adorable Aussie inspired wildlife. Collect valuable resources by hunting, mining, fishing and foraging to expand and customise your town and attract new townsfolk and businesses. Share your new home with friends and protect each other as you explore beautiful landscapes filled with dangerous predators.
Go from starting out sleeping in a swag under the stars, to a sprawling town with farms, businesses and attractions. Eventually, you’ll draw in visitors, who might decide to stay and make it their home too.
Keep your neighbours happy by customising your town with fences, flower beds, street lamps, beehives, windmills, hedges, fountains and more. The happier your townsfolk are the more likely they are to settle down, bring their families and set up stores with unique items.
Invite your friends to visit your town where they can help you construct buildings, shop at your stores, go fishing, race Emus, fight crocodiles much more!
The island is Choc-A-Bloc with insects, fish and minerals. So grab your thongs and go track down and collect them all for your personal museum collection, or sell them for a tidy profit!
Care for and breed chickens, cows and sheep as well as Dinkum’s iconic Giant Wombats! The Wombats might seem intimidating at first, but really they are sweethearts.
Cultivate crops for your town across the whole island, choosing the best spots for each type. Not only do the seasons change, but the temperature shifts depending on where you are on the island
Hunt animals for food and defend yourself from deadly predators who are just as hungry as you. Those Roos might seem friendly but they pack a punch!
Attack creatures head on or capture them with traps, it’s up to you how to survive.
Customise your character in Dinkum to be the True Blue version of you. Buy that shiny pair of sunnies or wide Akubra hat in the shop, or seek out rare items through exploring the great outdoors and through chinwags with fellow townsfolk.
Make your house your own cosy abode. Craft a huge range of furniture and decorations, choose where everything goes and invite friends over to show off your interior designer creds.

Very fun and casual game.
Needs achievments!
As you can see, a lot of hours into this game. I've been playing it since the day it launched into Early Access back in July 2022. But, nothing like a game stopping 3rd-party EULA you Must Accept to continue playing the game you paid for more than two years ago to give you pause. It's not about getting a Publisher, it's not about data transfer to that publisher, it's about a publisher doubling down and forcing that EULA or I can't play the game anymore. No Thank You! I have many other games of this genre to play that don't force me into a 3rd-party EULA to play them but Well Done; you've now joined the ranks of Dubious and Shifty. Game Uninstalled, Removed from Steam Library, Developer and Publisher added to IGNORE list.
Animal Crossing/Harvest Moon meets Australia
super fun game like a new twist to animal crossing with harvest moon quality things as well. i love the grind of the slow progression and i keep finding that if i lose sight of the game for a while, its not a pain to get back to it. its a simple enough game that once you get the hang of it, you know what you're doing so you dont really have to relearn how to play if you take a break. being a mother of 2 young ones, its hard to find time to game sometimes, but i love it still. ive had this game for over a year and its still in my top 5 for sure. I Recommend you give DInkum a try if you like harvest moon and/or animal crossing. oh yea and it even has a bit of combat! very simple, again, but not laggy or useless. well balanced game. i kind of love it more than animal crossing. XD
I have had a blast playing this game and i really enjoy it!!! I have also played Co-op and had a great time with friends... this is a cute game and a lot of fun that i highly recommend!!!!
I am so so so proud of James and all
his hard work! Here’s hoping the new publisher allows even more people to fall in love with the beauty of Dinkum. James made a game that encapsulates so much of what other games might have, but lack in other areas! Dinkum is the all encompassing perfect game to wind down after a long day and there is so much freedom and creativity for players to explore! I love this game and here’s to many more years with Dinkum.
Nice game, fun and low-stakes, though it admittedly hasn't held me as much as I was hoping for. That said, I'm finally leaving a review to try and balance out the overblown reaction to Krafton's involvement.
Fair's fair, the announcement was very opaque and poorly handled. On Steam. Out of nowhere there's a news update about personal information transfer, suddenly invoking the name of a new company instead of clarifying that, "Hey, Dinkum has a publisher to take care of some of the overhead now!" It's made much clearer on Discord what is actually going on, for those like me who might have had their hackles raised by the announcement. Here are the important points you're looking for:
- Krafton is now the game's publisher. They will be handling the game's socials (Discord, YouTube, etc.), though not exclusively; there will be additional language support; and perhaps some future benefits, we'll see.
- Krafton will be receiving about as much user data as James had to begin with; which is to say, whatever Steam shares with any publishers and anyone you've ever bought something from on Steam before. We're not talking about a game that had any invasive telemetry to begin with, here.
- James Bendon is still the developer. He has not passed the reins on to anyone else.
So if you are for some reason EXTREMELY OPPOSED to a bog standard publisher based in South Korea having access to the most innocuous level of data (i.e. the fact that you own the game, and what account the ownership is attached to) then perhaps you have cause for concern. Otherwise, this is just a poorly-communicated and completely unremarkable revelation that the game now has a publisher and is going to be getting more language support.
You really messed up with how you handled this deal, James.
I don't care that you've found a larger company to work with. Honestly, good on ya. But there was definitely a better way to handle relaying to the community what was happening, as well as being absolutely clear in all the specifics included regarding player's personal information and actually giving people the option to OPT-IN beforehand rather than jumping through hoops to OPT-OUT afterwords.
Hope you do well from here on, but I don't have any desire to continue enjoying Dinkum after this.
This game has given me hours of peaceful happiness. This game is so relaxing and really makes you feel like you're in a little town of cute characters. As more people move in and the town becomes bigger, it really feels like home. There is a ton to do and lots of options to make things your own. The only thing I would change in this game if I could, would be the storage boxes. If there could be bigger sizes that we could make that would be great! And that's just a QOL thing for me. Again this game is amazing and makes me very happy! Would and will definately recommend!!!!
Congrats and best of luck James! I hope you get everything you want out of this deal. What you've accomplished up to this point is nothing short of amazing. Doing what you've done as a solo dev is up there, in my opinion, with some of the greatest indie success stories like Stardew Valley, Undertale, etc. I really mean that.
Unfortunately, after 800ish hours, my wife and I will no longer be playing the game and can no longer recommend it. We try very hard to "vote with our wallets" and just cannot, in good conscience, support Tencent, whether directly or indirectly—at least we try not to, although it's hard to keep up with everything Tencent owns or has significant stake in.
I know that for me it's just a game, but for you, it's your life, so we're going to have very different perspectives, but I feel like this situation was handled very poorly and with little transparency. It was announced like it was a surprise update, but in reality, at least for me, it was not good news at all. Based on how this went down, I can no longer recommend this game, as it's an Early Access game that was created by a single dev and now you're teaming up with a gigantic company
Either way, thanks for the good times, Dinkum! But It's time to eat some Pavlova, bury my 91 million+ Dinks, put my Halo on, and glide off into the sunset.
Fear not angry Tencent fans! Here are a few things you can say in the comments to convince me to turn my frown upside down:
1) You aren't supporting Tencent, since you already bought the game.
2) Tencent already has all of your data!
3) Who cares?
4) What are you trying to hide?
5) Tencent already owns EVERYTHING!
6) Then why are you on TikTok, idiot?
7) One person can't make a difference.
8) Do you even know what a publisher does, bro?
I would have preferred an OPT-IN option instead of my personal information being transferred to KRAFTON automatically and then they tell me I have to email them to opt out of this BS and the email they give gets FLAGGED as malicious. This game is not even finished but I think you just finished it mate.
very fun easy controls chalenges so its not boreing and quests To make it funner fun controls aswell
If you adore Animal Crossing and Minecraft, this game is for you. Its a perfect mix of those two epic games swirled into one. 10/10
Fun game, but I'd say wait for it to leave the early access as you'll eventually run out of (new) things to do.
(This game turned my friend into a fishing addict)
It's a lot of fun. I just wish the "days" didn't move so quickly.
Playing two-player with my darling. Earning and spending money feels to be at just the right pace; I can feel like I can earn money really quick if I aim for it, but it's not an abundance where I'm running out of things to buy. Days aren't too short to feel like I can't do anything like Stardew, and they aren't too long where time management isn't a thing. Love the ability to customize the town with all sorts of tiles and such.
Cute, cozy game that has lots to unlock and explore, cute characters, lots of animals and customization
Potentially better than Animal Crossing. The NPCS aren't as important/costumizable, (there are only a handfull of fixed npcs who don't change, don't buy clothes, furniture etc) but there are so many more activities and places to explore that it makes up for it.
There are a few criticisms but it its an indie early access game with ongoing dev support, and any shortcommings don't ruin how fun this game is.
like animal crossing but the days move faster and there are more things to do around the island. big fan of the fishing mechanic. 10/10
After playing both Dinkum and Animal Crossing, i can clearly say that this game is more fun for a person like me. I enjoy survival games, and i think Dinkum shares alot of elements with the survival game genre, even though it is different.
Dinkum is the game i thought Animal Crossing would be, which is why i recommend this over Animal Crossing!
I really enjoyed this game but it is unfortunate that is limited on content which takes the excitement away. If only they could add more missions, people joining the island or visiting other islands with cities and definitely more fish species that would be awesome. Looking forward to more upgrades and content to revisit this game :).
Had a lovely and fun time playing this with my girlfriend. Would love to see this game develop to have more content and more mechanics. Nonetheless, it's a relaxing game and people should play it.
I love animal crossing but hate the time constraints that make me have to set and reset the time and date on my switch to be able to progress. This game gives me everything I love about animal crossing with out the time issue. Its days and nights progress in a well timed manner. Although it's very cute and very similar to animal crossing it is still a separate entity with many of it's game play such as the hunting for animals, the whole Australia theme, and mining system. I will say that although I love the festivals I feel like they are lacking depth and with a little more thought could be more fun to participate in them instead of going about my day like normal and averting them. I would love to see more villagers added later on and hope the devs continue to update the game as they have so far.
Very cute cozy game. Farming, friendship, mining, fishing, crafting, bug catching, animals, all the usual stuff you'd expect from a farming type sim game. There are side quests and vehicles. There's events and a fairly typical 28 day seasonal cycle. Unfortunately, there are some multiplayer bugs that prevent you from using your items making you need to relog entirely, but they can be overridden as long as you relog or restart the game entirely.
A really easy game to get lost in. Just what I needed. Although the fishing has been quite the challenge and I have yet to figure out the hunting.
It's easy to lose track of time playing this game. Just chill enough to not raise your blood pressure, enough challenge to make it feel like a game. Waste your days exploring your own personal outback.
I really enjoy this game. It's cosy, it's cute and I like collecting things 10/10.
Only thing that I would complain about is that it does crash at the end of the day (quite often for me on certain save files). I'm not sure why but it's really frustrating. I also would like some easy shortcut to be able to save in the middle of the day, and being able to lock the compass so its facing North all the time. I'm aware there are cheats for that, but I think that those aren't really cheat worthy!
I suppose 9/10 for these reasons, but it's still a really good game!
It's definetly fun! I'd recommend it if you like animal crossing but want a bit more action. But OH MY GOD is the beginning ever slow. I imagine it's considerably more fun as you get later on and begin to do more city building, but as of now it's hard to stay attentive.
I've been playing this game for years...honestly one of the best games I've ever played. I come back to it often, kind of like Animal Crossing. I recommend it wholeheartedly! Such a fun and exploratory game!
I've heard about this game for over a year and finally decided to get it and I'm so glad I did. It is so fun, I just started playing a few days ago and already have 12 hours. It is definitely similar to Animal Crossing, so if you like that I think you would love this too.
If you're wanting a new twist on an animal crossing like game this is IT. It's pretty fun and cozy. Grinding and foraging lovers will love this.All around super fun game. Also rewarding to see your town expand from all the work YOU put into it. Excited to see more content in the future but for now there is PLENTY to do!
I've put 5 hours into this game and I feel like it only revolves around acquiring more money to have more shop owners move to your island. There is a town donation box that puts your town into debt every time you want a new shop owner. So I go to grind, harvesting anything you can to sell, just to pay off the debt. Not to mention your energy bar depletes so quickly, just mining 1-2 rocks tires out your avatar completely. I'm guessing leveling up the mining skill/eating food would help with the energy bar, but I've just lost interest in the game. I really wish I could get a refund of this game.
I started out liking Dinkum, but due to a few frustrating issues, I had to stop:
-Prices are way too high and need to be scaled down, at least for single player.
-Having to pay to build the mine and then buy a one-time use pass (that is 25k) every time to use said mines is really frustrating. This is where I stopped, the game just became too grindy at this point.
-Only being able to get the starter tools at the shop and unable to craft them yourself. Plus the store closes at 4pm, so if your tool breaks after 4pm but you still want to keep going, you're out of luck.
-The shovel only being able to move one block at a time. It's not really fun to design a town if you constantly have to run back and forth to find a place for the dirt block you just dug up. Maybe you could just put the dirt in your pocket and be able to place it or trash it somewhere else later? I don't know, just an idea.
-If the stamina system is meant to be used alongside the cooking system, it be nice if the cooking table had more early game recipes?? I didn't hunt a lot, because I wanted to save my metal bars, so I mainly relied on foraging for fruit. It be cool if there were some fruit recipes you could only do at the cooking table.
This game has a lot of potential, so I really hope the balancing issues get resolved in the future.
DInkum is awesome to play and very relaxing. If you're looking for a fun and creative game where you can build your own world and design how you want. This game will be for you, it is so much fun and as I said very relaxing when playing. It has a huge charm to it.
I would Absolutely love this game if we didn't have to go to the mines.. I hate going.!!. It's so dark , especially having poor eyesight, I get lost, defeated by everything down there, so expensive for pass, torches, upgraded pickaxes, which you need a lot of. It's actually ruining the game for me. Especially when we are just starting out, spending that kind of dinks to do something that isn't enjoyable and not really profitable in the beginning.
I adore everything else about the game!! The graphics, the NPS, setting up my space, grinding for resources.. it's one of the best games out there..it's amazing in every way!!
Please think about allowing us to grind for resources.. all resources.. ORE especially, because you need it for EVERYTHING, on the island. Make a special island or area where you can get copper, iron and tin in abundance so we are NOT forced to use the mines!! Please 🙏🙏.
I would be so disappointed if I don't play the game anymore because of this.. it's just not enjoyable.
I have been playing for hours every day since I got the game and I really don't want to give it up for something else, but it's just too frustrating for me and I don't want to play a game I don't enjoy .
Hopefully there will be a change of some kind to make it more fun 😊
I'm a little on the fence with this one. I got this game over two years ago and felt like it had great potential. Over two years later after coming back, it feels like not much new is added (same biomes, same wildlife, same wild plants).
Also, the multiplayer is a disappointment. It's only useful if your friends wanna visit and check out your farm, but you can't progress together, only the host can do quests for granny or build/move buildings. They can still help you with a few things and keep their items, so it's not the worst either.
Absolutely love this game. I really enjoy being creative and designing fun spaces on the island.
The game has a lot of Animal Crossing-like mechanics, which I really enjoy. It’s very relaxing, and it doesn’t feel like you have to grind much since the game rewards you for almost everything. Personally, I’d love to see more dialogues, the possibility of romance, a global daytime feature for multiplayer, and the option to send items by mail. That said, the game is awesome—it delivers a great experience, and I absolutely love some of the silly things you can do. Highly recommended!
Underneath what should be a charming and relaxing Animal Crossing-like experience are punishing health / stamina mechanics, multiple micro FPS stutters per second after ~20 minutes, near constant crashes, both in single- and multiplayer, and endgame materials being requested in early game missions.
Can't recommend in it's current form as long as the dev(s) don't address these very problematic issues. Once they're fixed, then the game will be tons of fun to enjoy with friends.
I had fun the first 10 hours or so when i was still discovering more things and progressing but then everything came to a halt and i everything turned into a chore.
This game will be amazing if the pacing is fixed, otherwise i can see it becoming good with some more content added.
still felt like i got my moneys worth and it definetly hooked my attention from the get go.
I just thought it was sad that there was little to no guidance in how to progress, main goal is to get people to move in but they dont move in.
Hope it turns out well, i might return
When I first played this game, it was accessible, fun, and animal-crossing-like with an Australian twist. I started playing this game close to its release, so I have enjoyed the updates immensely over time and really enjoyed watching the game progress and grow—especially the additions of seasonal weather and plant growth.
However, the change in the health and stamina mechanics has made the game almost completely unplayable for me.
It seems that the creator wanted the players to use food more; using buffs to offset a very punishing regeneration system that impacts the gameplay so much that you can't even chop wood or run around without a full debuff getting in the way.
Running across hostile animals used to be a fun surprise; now it's game-breakingly difficult. With the new mechanics, even WITH food, you can be killed multiple times on an EASY level mining expedition.
I'm really disappointed. I was hoping to explore Dinkum and its updates for a long time to come; but now the game has become inaccessible to me.
This game is addicting, doesn't get boring, lots to do. This game has farming, combat, mining, cooking, ranching and you can change outfits, change hair styles, decorate you town, you can save money in a bank, commission for tools, gadgets and more furniture. Best of all you can do adventuring!
This game is nice, but unfortunately like animal crossing it doesn't really have a lot of deep systems and mechanics to keep you playing after a few ingame weeks. There's plenty of stuff to do, but once you have all npcs and buildings, there's nothing to progress towards. I think (Steam) Achievements of some kind would be another "list" to complete to add a bit more playtime, or some sort of ambitious multiplayer mode where you can visit other peoples islands
This game is absolute bonzer, a real beaut, but it would need a few fixes. I have played for 76 hours now and I have enjoyed every single moment of it (except for when it has lagged, which was probably because of my computer, or when I passed out thrice trying to hunt down an alpha jackaroo).
What I miss in this game is more information. Oftentimes, you are asked to go to a specific biome in the game, but correct me if I'm blind, but there is to my knowledge no way of knowing what differs the plains, the forests, the tropics and the billybongs. I would like biome markers.
Also, it seems the NPC:s have different likes and dislikes. For instance, Rayne and Irwin do not seem to enjoy meat, but I would like that marked in their profile in my notebook.
I would also like an auto-sorting system. Do not get me wrong, there is nothing problematic with sorting everything the way you want it by hand, but I have been playing games like Traveller's Rest, Graveyard Keeper and the likes and they all have an auto-sorting-system in their containers. It would save a lot of time and unnecessary energy spent to implement such a system in this game too.
However, while you learn your mistakes in hindsight, that's how the world goes you know, so when I placed a deed on the first year that required ingredients I could not even get until the next year, I wanted to move it so I could fit a better building in its place. You cannot move unfinished structures though, so I had to build in the outskirts of my town which was a bit annoying.
But generally, this game is an absolute beaut. I really have a bachelor's essay to write, but I get lost in the serenity of this game instead and spend hours on end just gathering materials, tending to my crops, making dinks (money) and expanding my world. Who needs a degree when you have got this ey? Nah, for real, this is an absolute MUST HAVE for those who love sim town management. It's peaceful, serene, not too challenging but not too easy. It is almost everything I want in a game in this genre, although I would appreciate the above stated addons/fixes.
Once more, absolute bonzer!
Intriguing game, story driven & fun with friends. Gives off Animal Crossings vibes. The game is still very much in early access so there’s not much to do at the moment story wise, if that’s what you’re into I would wait for a full release! Otherwise, cool little game to play in the current state.
Bought this after watching LGIO's Josh play this game. Absolutely delightful. The progression of the story is very interesting. The map generations are top tier as well. 10/10 would recommend.
LOVE!!! kind of like animal crossing but also minecraft. so so fun!!! have been playing this every day maybe to an unhealthy extent but 100% try it out! looking forward to what the future brings for this game :D
everything i wanted in animal crossing and way more lol. absolutely love this game sm. deffo recommend.
This game has a lot of content and is very interesting. The fly in the ointment is that the music is not very good, and there are too few conversations with NPC. You spend a lot of time improving intimacy, and there don't get any special feedback. I think this social framework is just a decoration and needs to be improved.
It's a chill life simulator where you can do whatever you want. Hunting, foraging, fishing, building your settlement, you name it. Sadly the co-op is rather limited. Basically you just hopped into someone's island, but your progressions won't be carried over from there to your own. I hope the dev add the shared progression system so you can host an island with your friend and play, progress together at the same time. Otherwise i give it 7/10.
Genuinely one of the best games I've played in a while, chill aesthetic, low commitment but you feel like you can always come back for more, especially when there's always new content. Even though the development team is small(just one guy), there is always exciting new additions that come with each update, you can feel the love and dedication put into this game. I honestly hope that more people give this game the recognition it deserves. In a world full of fast-paced games and cash hungry gaming companies, i feel like this game is a breath of fresh air. 10/10 for me and I hope this review will give the game the shot it deserves, trust me, buy it and you won't regret it.
