About game
Staring at the clock waiting for your shift to end or just needing a quick mental escape from a dull afternoon? Island: Survive & Escape is the perfect way to pass the time while testing your management skills. You wake up on a sandy beach after a shipwreck and must transform a group of castaways into a thriving survival colony. Simply assign your villagers to harvest wood, stone, or food to keep the settlement running smoothly. Watch your stockpiles carefully because hungry workers slow down your progress significantly. You will also send teams on dangerous expeditions into dark caves and jungles to find rare loot. Building a sturdy shipyard is your primary path to freedom, requiring you to craft the hull, sails, and essential supplies before you can sail away. Every successful escape grants permanent bonuses for your next trip to a new, tougher island. Jump into this survival game right now in your browser without any downloads or registration.
How to play
Assign free villagers to jobs to produce food and other resources. Keep an eye on food supplies, because an empty stockpile reduces settlement efficiency. Build structures to unlock new jobs, upgrades and systems. Send villagers on expeditions for rare resources and choose how to react to random events. Once the shipyard is built, complete the ship's three parts: hull, sails and supplies. When all parts are ready, leave the island. Use the mouse or touch controls to press interface buttons.
