Shards of Memory
SteamWhen you wake up, it's chaos. The salt air burns your lungs, the merciless sun blinds your eyes, and your body aches with pain you don't remember inflicting. You're lying on the white sand of an unknown island, surrounded by turquoise but indifferent water. Around you is wreckage, but not of a ship or a plane. The wreckage of someone else's life. Your life.
The main wound is not on your body. It's inside. Your memory is a blank, torn canvas. Your name, your past, the reason for your presence here - all erased. You are not just a survivor. You are a ghost in your own body, and this island is your purgatory.
The island is riddled with "emotional anchors" - objects and places that resonate with your forgotten past. An abandoned hut, a rare flower - all of these can be the key.
Physical Survival: Fight with Nature
Classic Mechanics: Monitor your hunger, thirst, stamina, and health. Hunt wild animals, find edible plants, and fresh water.
Dynamic Weather: Wait out tropical rains and incur hypothermia, or seek shade during the scorching heat to avoid sunstroke.
Shelter is your only safe haven at night, when predators are especially active.
Dangerous Fauna and Flora: The island is inhabited not only by food sources. Aggressive boars and elusive predators hiding in the jungle will become a constant threat to you.
Detailed open world: explore a variety of locations, from picturesque beaches to dark mines and an abandoned military base.
Realistic crafting: create weapons, tools, clothes and medicines from scrap materials.
Dynamic day and night cycle: adapt to the island conditions, where danger lurks around every corner.
