What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We felt early access was the best route for us to work with the community to develop the game as they can play and let us know what they do and don't like as we work towards release.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“About 1-2 years.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full Version will feature more vegetation, more animals, more islands and new craftables. We want to take the game from as is, and transform it into a great co-op experience that can be played in sandbox.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“We have worked hard to deliver a good fulfilling experience. In our runtime-generated procedural world, you can survive, craft, build custom buildings and rafts, complete quests, hunt animals, farm, mine and smelt ores, discover island secrets and level up, All while enjoying the beautiful scenery that changes with time of the day and weather.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes, the game will be cheaper while its still in early access.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We have an active Discord server where we collect reports, feedback and polls. Every patch we also release a form available in-game. This feedback is extremely valuable as it has shaped the consequent patches.”

About This Game





Project Castaway is survival crafting title set in the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean. Hunt, gather, fell trees and embark on expeditions to traverse the ocean - discovering desert islands laden with unique resources.





Embark on the life of a true castaway - stranded on a deserted island, with just yourself for company. Scavenge or hunt for food, traverse from island to island and be carefully construct rafts & shelters for when the night comes - it can get awfully cold on these islands...





Being stranded has some upsides, at least. Explore beautiful Pacific landscapes. Swim through shimmering blue water to stand upon golden sands as waves crash against your feet. When the weather turns, take cover under palm trees as the rain pelts the ocean - and listen to the thunder crash overhead.





Use the natural materials surrounding you to construct a base - the key to your survival. Hunt animals, fell trees and scavenge ruined ships as you build your way to safety.





You best keep your wits about you - it can get lonely on these islands, and castaways have been known to lose their minds... Keep on top of your sanity and ensure that you're sleeping well - lest unnatural apparitions appear before you, seeking to take your life.
