About This Game

Somewhere in the Pacific, a chain of islands is drowning in rubbish. You are Ferrum-1, an experimental maintenance robot sent to the Oregon Archipelago with one job: clean it up and turn these dying islands into paradises again.

Your first hours in this cozy exploration and restoration adventure are hands-on. Step out of your cave base, scan the shoreline, grab rubbish by hand or pull it in with a magnet, then haul it home and recycle it into crafting resources. Every cleaned patch of land answers back. Grass and trees grow, crabs and turtles return to the beaches, and deer wander through places that were wasteland an hour ago.

Craft, build and push your signal further

Ferrum-1 can only go as far as the signal reaches. Craft better gear and upgrades, power up solar energizers, place signal stations and stretch your range island by island. Radioactive rubbish needs special equipment, so come prepared.

Sail, dive and explore 20 islands

Hop between islands by speedboat. Later, craft a submarine and explore the depths below, where nuclear waste, new resources, sharks and piranhas are waiting. Across 20 islands and 9 biomes you'll find caves, ruins, a sunken town, comic pages that reveal the archipelago's past and a native camp that doesn't trust you... yet.

From lone robot to restoration network

As you progress, repair outposts to recycle and craft far from home, then build Assistant Stations, delivery drones and Water Nets that keep the cleanup going while you chase the next quest. Back at base, decorate your home and take a moment to pet the dog.

Storylines that begin with a crashed NVISION jet pull you deeper into the islands' secrets, while dynamic weather, day and night and the occasional tornado keep every trip interesting.

The archipelago is waiting for its keeper.
