My Time at Sandrock Act 3 Adds Jane as a Romance Option

One of the Steam Wishlist campaign My Time at Sandrock romance options is joining the game, as Jane is here. She, alongside Ernest, was one of the 400,000 wishlists tier love interests. Pathea Games noted she is in the Act 3 update patch notes, while also going over how much bigger My Time at Sandrock is compared to My Time at Portia. 

We did know a bit about Jane before she appeared in My Time at Sandrock as a romance option. She’s a teacher who is from the area. However, life took her away from the town. She’s now back in the city, and after the update you can talk to her and spend time together to build up a romance with her. Ernest, the other character who was part of that Steam Wishlist campaign tier, is already in the game and gets new romance quests in the Act 3 update as well.

As for the size, Pathea released a infographic comparing My Time at Sandrock to My Time at Portia. Sandrock is over three times bigger when it comes to main story quests and over twice the size when it comes to side quests. It also has 27 dungeons, compared to Portia’s 15.
