The Story

A luxury passenger line is lost at sea. Two survivors, a young man and a young woman, are washed ashore on a deserted island. The shock of the accident robs the boy of all his memories.

Believing that they will soon be rescued, they begin their new survival adventure. But no help comes. And as they explore their island home, they encounter one strange incident after another.

Could it be that the island is not deserted after all?

Sometimes helping each other, sometimes fighting with each other, the pair tries to unlock the mystery of the island. At stake is their very survival.

Sometimes, fragments of memory come back to the boy. Shocking memories. "Who on earth AM I?"

"Was I responsible for sinking our ship?"

Gameplay

At the beginning of the game, you can choose to play as either Sam or Claire. They each have their advantages and disadvantages.Your goal is to survive on the island. This is done by finding food, water, shelter and a means for starting a fire. You can unlock two additional characters who will help you with chores such as hunting, gathering water, firewood or making ropes or baskets. As you explore the island, you will find items that will make it easier to survive. When you have new team members, you will notice that smaller amounts of food will fill up their hunger meters more quickly. You will find new locations to call home, but your furniture will not automatically transfer; you must build new furniture there. Also, if you are playing as Claire or bring her with you, you can unlock mini-games in which you can befriend the chimpanzee and dolphin. The ultimate goal is to escape the island.

Sam: A 17 year-old brown haired white young man. He doesn't remember his name, but the girl he meets on the island calls him "Sam", so that's what he goes by. A cautious young man, he knows a lot about living in the wild.

Kumiko: A 13 year-old Asian girl. A girl-genius, she knows everything there is to know about science and machines. A quiet, cool type, she is also a wiz in the kitchen. It seems that she came to this island of her own choice. But why?
