About the Game

In a strange time, you wake up stranded on one of many forgotten islands in the middle of nowhere. With nothing but your wits, you'll need to survive, craft and eventually find your way home... wherever that might be. Discover new islands, uncover their secrets, and piece together how you got here in the first place.

Survive and Thrive:

Keep an eye on your health, hunger and comfort as you face the island and its challenges. Gather resources, craft tools, and build shelter before night comes. Things get dangerous when the sun goes down...

Build Your Home:

Put up walls, lay down floors and furnish your space however you like. Paint and texture your walls and floors and make it yours! Build cellar hatches and expand your base below the surface.

Farm and Domesticate:

Find seeds and start growing your own food. Lure wild animals, tame them, and breed them for a steady supply of resources. Set up fish traps, cook meals, and turn a forgotten island into a proper home.

Explore and Progress:

Every island is packed with resources, wildlife, and things to discover. Solve each island's challenges to reach new biomes with new materials, unlocking electrical devices, item transport systems, and more.

Create and Share: 

Faraway: On Lost Isles has two main modes: survival and builder. In builder mode, there are no limits. You can even create your own adventure maps using special objects like triggers and buttons, and use scripting commands to perform actions. You can even create NPCs that talk and give out quests. For those who want to go deeper, a terrain editor lets you shape your own islands from scratch.

Can you survive the lost isles, uncover their mysteries, and find your way home?
