About the Game

After surviving a helicopter crash, your main goal is to return home. Stranded on remote islands, you must endure as a castaway - gathering resources to find food, build shelter, craft essential tools, uncover the islands’ mysteries both on land and underwater, and fight to chart your way back to safety.

In these islands and waters, you can’t do groceries. You must hunt the wild for sustenance and gather resources and materials to build your shelter. It starts with you and you alone - giving up just isn’t an option.

Danger comes in all directions, and you’ll need something to fend them off and rest easy. Find a spot and build a roof over your head - it’s more than just a shelter from the storm.

Everywhere’s uncharted territory - which means there are secrets to uncover. Weave through danger, dive into the blue depths, and traverse the islands to find more than what you see under the sun.

No man is an island - even in the wilderness. Team up with fellow castaways and increase your survivability with combined effort. You all want to go home - might as well do it together and strong.
