You awaken on an island with no memory but a child’s photograph is in your pocket. To uncover the mysteries of the island and the past, the player will need to search for resources and locate a way to escape.
Played in both first and third person view, the game features a crafting system that is inspired by classic point and click adventure games. Players will not stack items in a table but will create new items by using actions like Cut & Tie. Launching in Early Access with up to four players in Multiplayer mode, the game will evolve to include new gameplay mechanics and increase the number of players online.
You’ll explore an open sandbox environment where further investigation reveals the incongruous and outlandish nature of your environment. Craft items, seek shelter, quench your thirst, satisfy your hunger and fend off animals. What will you need to escape the island? The answers are waiting.
