The story is more than just survival; it is a search for your kidnapped son, Timmy.

: Supports up to 8 players in co-op (though some community versions claim higher limits).

: You and your son survive a plane crash on a remote peninsula. Immediately after the crash, you witness a "Red Man" kidnapping Timmy while you are incapacitated.

: If you want to focus purely on the story without combat, you can use veganmode on to restrict enemies to caves only.

: You eventually find Timmy, but he has been used in a horrific experiment involving an ancient artifact called the Resurrection Obelisk. The game culminates in a moral choice: Sacrifice another plane full of people to save Timmy.

: You must build shelter, hunt for food, and defend yourself against tribes of cannibalistic mutants.

Shut down the artifact and stay on the island alone, letting Timmy go.
