How co-op works
Online co-op for up to six players developing the same island town. Friends gather resources, farm, raise animals, fish, mine, hunt, craft, reshape terrain, and place buildings together, turning the starting camp into a shared settlement with shops and residents.
About this game
Set on a sun-baked island inspired by the Australian outback, Dinkum invites you to settle the wilderness and build a bustling town from scratch. This survival life simulation blends farming, fishing, mining, and hunting into a cozy cooperative experience where every player can carve out their own role or pitch in on shared goals.

Whether you are tending crops, tracking wildlife, or hauling ore back to camp, the open-ended systems reward experimentation and division of labor. Friends can specialize in different trades, pooling resources to unlock permits, expand infrastructure, and discover rare fauna. The loop stays relaxed yet satisfying, letting you lean into crafting, collecting, or simply exploring at your own pace.
Online co-op supports multiple players on a single island, making it easy to drop in with friends and coordinate projects over voice chat. Sessions feel casual but collaborative, with enough depth to keep you planning the next upgrade or seasonal event together.
