Mad Island

Mad Island is the story of survivors who find themselves on an island that does not welcome guests. You have to navigate through hostile terrain, encounter indigenous inhabitants and solve the usual tasks for the genre: get food, water, tools and a place to wait out the night. The survival mechanics are simple in words and demanding in practice: resources are limited, and every outing can end badly. The inhabitants of the island behave differently, and a meeting cannot always be resolved by force, but you can prepare: the better the equipment, the more options. In addition to survival, there is base building and arrangement, as well as quests that advance the story. Some of the materials are addressed to an adult audience, and this is stated explicitly. Separately, it is worth noting that over time it is possible to arrange a shelter, and how many days the hero can hold out depends on this. In addition, there is a system of tasks that lead you around the island and reveal its secrets. Errors are not rolled back: spent resources are returned only through new attacks. The material is addressed to an adult audience, and this is clearly stated. The game is small, but the survival cycle is built consistently, without unnecessary complications. In addition to the gameplay, there are also small story scenes that explain why the island became like this. Separately, it is worth noting that the game also includes the construction of a boat, which opens access to distant sections of the coast. The game was made by a small team and has modest graphics. For those who enjoy surviving in hostile territory with slow progress, the Mad Island provides a clear blueprint.
