Stranded 2


An excellent survival game.

The game starts with a nice cutscene where you see yourself struggling to keep your boat floating in a heavy storm. The boat explodes and as expected, you strand on an island. The objective of the game is doing some quests (either given by a certain situation or an NPC) that will help you get closer to your cosy living room back home. The quests are quite easy, but you need to put some effort into it. Of course, there is much more than just that. You have to make sure that your tummy is filled, that your throat is oiled and that your eyes may lay down or else you will lose health and eventually die. Food, water, defending yourself from dangerous animals and shelter is something you will have to take care for on a daily basis if you want to survive. Food can be gathered by hunting animals, water can be found by pressing leaves or drinking from a well, an arsenal of weapons will need to made for your defence and a shelter will require your construction skills. You might have noticed, but you won't come far when you don't have the proper tools. If you start experimenting with the resources at hand, you can easily make your tools and weaponry. A stone and a branch will make a hammer or a spear, a branch and a vine will make a slingshot, etc. Same goes for many other things, but I'll leave it up to you to worry about it.
