About This Game

“How did it get to this; A meeting I didn’t want to have; a trip I didn’t want to take.
My life’s in the hands of strangers I don’t even trust.
From the moment I first stepped foot on the Sentinel Islands, I saw creatures that I thought were the thing of legends...
My only goal now: Survive.”
