About the Game

Play as Waylen, a man whose romantic yacht trip turns into a fight for survival after a devastating storm. Stranded with his girlfriend, he must battle unknown creatures, uncover the island’s secrets, build shelter, and find a way to escape.The island is infested with terrifying creatures lurking in the shadows, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. Every encounter is a battle for survival—stealth, strategy, and brutal combat are your only chances of making it out alive.

Use every weapon at your disposal – craft makeshift tools, wield deadly melee attacks, or strike from the darkness.
On this island, the elements are just as deadly as the monsters lurking in the dark. Crafting a shelter isn’t just survival—it’s your only hope.

Find Resources – Gather wood, stone, and salvaged materials to build your safe haven.
Upgrade & Reinforce – Strengthen your shelter to withstand monster attacks and harsh weather.
Stay Hidden – A well-placed hideout can mean the difference between life and death.

The island is unforgiving. Will your shelter stand the test of time?

On this island, making a sound could be your last mistake. Every shadow is an opportunity, every noise a risk. Stay silent, stay unseen, and strike only when the moment is right.

 Move Like a Ghost – Crouch, sneak, and blend into the environment to avoid deadly encounters.
 Strike from the Shadows – Take down enemies swiftly before they even know you’re there.
 Distraction is Key – Throw objects, manipulate light, or use the environment to mislead your hunters.
 Stealth Shelters – Build hidden safe zones where monsters can’t track you.

Only the silent survive. Will you master the shadows or fall to the island’s horrors?
