Sent to find a missing billionaire, you must survive on a remote island inhabited by cannibals and mutated creatures. Play alone or with friends as you search the island and try to stay alive.
Gather food and materials, craft tools and weapons, and build shelters and defenses from logs. Explore caves and underground sites for supplies and clues while protecting yourself from hostile inhabitants.
The seasons affect survival: food and resources become scarce in winter, so you can fish and preserve meat when conditions allow. In co-op, players can share items and build together; companions can also help with gathering, construction, and combat.
Players often enjoy building custom bases, exploring the island, and surviving its threats, especially with friends in co-op. Reviews also praise the atmosphere, changing seasons, and helpful companions Kelvin and Virginia. Some players find the story’s clues and progression unclear, criticize its ending, or feel the horror becomes less intense after acquiring weapons.
