About this game

One weird day, you wake up on a strange island. It's quite a beautiful place, with beaches, forests, mountains, caves, a waterfall, exotic plants and tropical creatures. You suspect there may be more to the place than meets the eye. But you don't know why you're there and decide to explore and possibly find a way out.

This is a text-based game written in English. Yes, text: like a book or an email or what you're reading now. It's not highly graphical but offers a different type of experience from 3D games with cartoons and funny noises. It's inspired by text adventures that were popular on 8-bit home computers in the 1980s. These days, this type of game is also known as interactive fiction.

Free download, includes banner advertising.

Tested on 2.3.6. and 4.1.1.

My first game, hope you enjoy it!

The sequel ALIEN SHIPWRECK is also available!

Hello, you need to explore and sometimes waiting in certain places can give you a clue! II left a more detailed clue previously in this comment, hopefully you saw it and have now escaped from the island

The interface is simple to use. Nice clues scattered around so you're never wandering around aimlessly too long. Because of the basic command structure (take, examine, use, etc...) puzzles largely revolve around 'find the correct object for the right location' variety which can be as little dull after a while. 'Use' is too generic a command is is rarely implemented in modern interactive fiction. A tighter map, fewer objects but a wider choice of actions would provide a more interesting challenge.

Numerous conditional flags and subtle clues affecting the next step. The directional compass is a great way to maneuver around. Took me back to the original text adventures of my youth. Solved it in one sitting but am slightly curious ... What purpose does the time machine serve (or is this just a decoy)??? Keep up the good work and can't wait for the next outing.

Hello! Thanks for the review. I would rather not answer questions about the game on this page because it might reveal things to people before they've played it! If you email me, I'll answer your questions. Glad you enjoyed it and well done for escaping! EDIT: by the way, there's more background information about the time machine on my website!
