Description : The game is dedicated to survival on an inhabited island: the game character, who finds himself on the island as a result of a plane crash, must find food and shelter, and also defend himself from the frightening cannibal natives. The developers set out to make a game that was different from other survival horror games like Resident Evil and Silent Hill, and instead took inspiration from films like Cannibal Inferno and The Descent. The Aborigines, the opponents of the game character, are not mindless “zombies” - they are a tribe busy with their own survival and claiming the same resources as the player. During the day, the player can sneak into the caves where these nocturnal creatures live and kill them in their sleep, up to the complete destruction of the tribe - this idea was borrowed by the developers from Richard Matheson’s book “I Am Legend”. The deeper the player descends into the caves, the more terrible and dangerous enemies confront him. Version 0.09 added co-op, which you can play together. In co-op, when you die, you are reborn on the plane. Also, if you find resources, you can share them with other players. From version 0.10 you can play in a company of 2 to 128 people, but the developers do not recommend using the latter.
