About This Game

Something went terribly wrong here. Now it's your island.

PurpleStar is an open-world survival horror game set on a fog-bound island. Scavenge what's left, build up your gear, and make it to morning, alone or with up to 7 friends.

Explore a dead island

• Walk the cracked streets of a ruined town, full of wrecks and crawling with the Mindless day and night

• Search a cargo port with huge container cranes and a half-sunk ship

• Get lost in the Haunted Woods, and find the empty neighborhood of Willow Creek inside them

• Take the stone stairs 50 m down into an old mine, and follow its tunnels to a lava cavern

• Row out past the Abandoned Docks to the Gate of No Return, two sea cliffs shaped like grim reapers

Survive what lives there

• The Mindless are gaunt, pitch-black things with glowing white eyes. They come running at the sound of gunshots and hunt harder at night.

• The Unhappy creep closer only while you aren't looking. When the frown turns into a smile, run.

• Raider] hold a scrap-walled camp and shoot on sight. The Mindless hate them too, so lead one to the other.

Two bosses

• The Raider's General leads a raid on your base every 4 to 8 days. He walks through gunfire and fights with his fists.

• The Deadly waits by day in the dark of the big house in Willow Creek. Look in through the door and all you see are two white eyes. Don't go in. At nightfall, it comes out.

Scavenge, craft and forge

Loot crates, chop dead trees for wood, and take demonhide from the Mindless to craft armour. Spend your Rusty Coins at the forge across the lava, smelting ingots and upgrading your weapons from Common all the way to the Legendary Starforged Sword.

Hold your base

Your barbed-wire compound is the one safe place on the island, with a campfire, a bed that moves with you, and a supply crate that restocks. Sleep through the night if you can. When the raiders come, you can't.

Better with friends

Host on Steam and invite up to 7 friends, with no port forwarding. Share the island, drive the cars that still run, row out together, and talk in party chat.

Fill in the Mob Index

Every creature is listed from the start, but you only learn what it is by fighting it.
