How it feels

a solitary survival experience set in a beautiful but harsh Pacific island world, where you scavenge, build, and explore to endure the elements.

What players say

Players are heavily split. Some enjoy the familiar survival loop and say it is a fun, if buggy, take on Green Hell or Stranded Deep. Many more call it an unfinished, glitchy clone where items vanish, co-op desyncs, freezing loses progress, and building is frustrating. Performance and polish are the main complaints even among those having fun.
