How it feels

A lonely and tense open-world survival game where you must manage hunger, thirst, and exposure while crafting shelter and tools to escape a deserted Pacific island.

What players say

Players say development stalled years ago, leaving a game that is buggy in single player and nearly broken in co-op, with items despawning, rafts flying away, and inventory desync. The lack of in-game direction and tedious crafting also draw complaints. Some still enjoy the atmosphere and exploration, but many recommend Raft or Green Hell instead.
