Hello Kitty Island Adventure thanks PC players for “overwhelming” launch day

Hello Kitty Island Adventure developer Sunblink has some special gifts to thank players for its heartfelt response to the sandbox life sim’s long-awaited Steam launch. Hello Kitty is certainly a big deal - the Sanrio series clocks in as the tenth highest-grossing media franchise ever, putting it just above Call of Duty and under the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But whether you’re a long-time fan of the cartoon cat and her cast of companions or not, their arrival on Steam might just be PC’s long-awaited answer to Animal Crossing, and it’s already proving a hit.
