About This Game

As the lone survivor of a passenger jet crash, you find yourself in a mysterious forest battling to stay alive against a society of cannibalistic mutants.

Build, explore, survive in this terrifying first person survival horror simulator. Key features

Enter a living, breathing world, where every tree and plant can be chopped down. Below ground explore a vast network of caves and underground lakes.

- Chop down trees to build a camp, or start a fire to keep warm. Scavenge food to keep yourself from starving.

- Build a small shelter or a large ocean side fortress. Lay traps and defences to keep a safe perimeter.

- Explore and build during the day. Defend your base at night. Craft weapons and tools. Bunker down during the evening or bring the fight directly to the enemy.

- Defend yourself against a clan of genetic mutant enemies that have beliefs, families, morals and that appear almost human.

- Use stealth to evade enemies, or engage them directly with crude weapons built from sticks and stones.
