A minimalist survival game about routine, choices, and escaping a small island.
You are on an island, and your main goal is to save up the required amount of money ($100) to buy a plane ticket and leave this place. To earn money, you need to explore the surrounding areas and collect scattered recyclable materials (bottles, cardboard, and soda cans), which spawn in random locations. The collected items must be taken to a local recycling point and sold, gradually increasing your budget.
The game features a day and night cycle, requiring you to plan your route carefully. In addition to your finances, you must monitor your body temperature. Sleeping in a bed plays a key role: it not only skips time until morning and protects you from the nightly cold, but also refreshes the resources on the map. The entire gameplay is built around a loop of searching, managing your survival needs, and selling items until the final goal is reached.
Movement is controlled using the WASD keys and the mouse. Press E to pick up items, open the shop, or sell items. Press R to use items such as sleeping, eating, or drinking, and Q to drop an item. When you reach the airport building, press E to buy your plane ticket and escape the island.
Helpful Tips for Your Playthrough
Throw a match on the box to light it.
Apple cores can be eaten, but they restore only a small amount of hunger.
You can sleep in the game by finding a mattress located at the recycling center and pressing R while aiming at it; however, sleeping is only possible at night.
After you sleep, if you have collected at least half of the available trash, the resources in the world will refresh, allowing you to collect items again.
Once you have saved up $100, go to the airport building and press E while aiming at it to purchase a plane ticket.
