Your first minutes on the water
StepWhen the game begins, your raft is barely holding together. Before you do anything else, collect the wood and metal floating nearby and use them to get your raft into a seaworthy state. Once you are floating reliably, you can start pushing outward to gather more material.
- Scan the water look around immediately for wood, metal, and anything else drifting close to you.
- Build the basics use what you collected to complete a minimal raft structure that keeps you afloat.
- Note the day counter surviving to day 10, day 25, and day 50 are real milestones, so keep an eye on the clock.
Dangers in the ocean
WarnMonsters appear both day and night. Each monster type attacks differently, so learning their patterns before charging in will save you a lot of grief. If your raft sinks, the run is over.
The day and night loop
TipsThe game runs on a repeating day-night rhythm. Building your routine around it makes everything else easier.
- Use daylight hours to range out and collect materials.
- After surviving 50 days you unlock a real milestone, but the game keeps going — players have lasted 100, and even 500 days.
Finding the flare gun and reaching an ending
StepThe stated goal of the game is to find a flare gun and get rescued. However, the game has more than one ending, and what you do along the way — including what you collect and whether you eat meat — affects which ending you see.
- Hunt the flare gun it is the item that triggers rescue, so treat finding it as your main mission once your raft is stable.
- Watch what you eat finishing the entire game without eating meat earns a specific outcome, so decide early if you want that path.
- Capture the oil rig it is an optional objective and one of the bigger events in the game.
- Solve the secret puzzle there is a hidden puzzle somewhere in the game; finding it unlocks its own reward.
- Visit the penguin cave walking into it is an easy-to-miss moment that counts as a tracked achievement.
- Return after 500 days a very long run changes how your homecoming is received.
