About the Game

Castaway: Lost Horizon is a cosy survival adventure about turning a shipwreck into a home.

After a disaster leaves you stranded on a remote island, you must gather food, collect fresh water, craft tools, build shelter, and explore the jungle before time runs out. Each day matters, but the island is full of chances to recover, prepare, and grow stronger.

Start with the basics: salvage the wreck, forage for food, mine stone, weave rope, build a campfire, and cook meals. As your camp grows, you will discover caves, hidden supplies, fishing spots, medicinal herbs, and new places to build.

You are not alone. Search the island for your missing family and other survivors, then bring them into your growing community. Each rescued survivor helps the settlement become more capable, from healing and scouting to fishing, gardening, building, and stonework.

Choose your pace with three difficulty modes:

Relaxed: 20 days

Normal: 15 days

Hard: 11 days

Build paths, cabins, a smokehouse, a garden, a storehouse, a well, and a sustainable village that can survive beyond rescue.

Features:

- Gather, craft, cook, fish, mine, forage, and build

- Explore a hand-crafted tropical island

- Rescue survivors and grow a small village community

- Multiple difficulty modes for different play styles

- Local saves and a complete single-player adventure
