How to play
Everything is based on the interaction of cards that represent items, actions, and your state.
Basics. Your character has parameters: hunger, thirst, fatigue, weight, calluses, and mental state. Keep an eye on them, as they affect your survival.
Exploration. Discover biomes (beach, jungle, caves, etc.) by dragging your character onto the location map. Each biome contains resources, animals, and events.
Survival. Get food by hunting, fishing or gathering. Cook on the fire: fry, smoke, salt. Build shelters, animal pens and gardens.
Health. Treat wounds with herbs. For fractures, apply a splint. Raise the spirit with music or creativity, otherwise depression and hallucinations.
Goal. Upgrade from a vagabond to a farmer with a house, farm, and supplies, escape this island, or accept it as a challenge.
