About the Game

KeepUp Survival is a creative base-building and exploration survival game set in a natural world.

The focus is on building, crafting, discovery, and relaxed survival at your own pace.

Shape your own survival experience: There are no fixed objectives. Set your own goals, explore the island, build your base, and freely develop your own playstyle.

An Island Full of Secrets

A global pandemic has shaken humanity. On this remote island once stood a secret research facility that was meant to develop a cure, but something went terribly wrong.

During the global chaos, an evacuation flight was launched, but navigation data became unreliable, communication systems failed, and fuel supplies ran low.
The aircraft lost control and crashed near an unknown island, by chance... or perhaps not?

You survive the crash and find yourself alone in what appears to be a peaceful yet abandoned world.

As you explore the island, you discover voice recordings from a woman named Jill, who was here before you. She speaks of strange events, experiments conducted within the research facility, and something hidden deep beneath the surface.

Inside the facility, you uncover traces of those experiments... remnants of something that was once human, but is no longer entirely human.
The research created something that should never have existed.

Jill's final message ends with a warning:

"I can no longer receive signals from anywhere in the world - except for one final, weak radio transmission from New York. Stay on the island... this may be the last safe place left."

The island reveals only part of the truth.

The deeper you venture, the greater the mystery of the world becomes.
