About:
A Survival Horror Simulator
Experience complete freedom to tackle the world how you want. You decide what you do, where to go and how best to survive. There are no NPC's barking orders at you or giving you missions you don't want to do. You give the orders, you choose what happens next.
Fight Demons
Enter a world where nowhere is safe and fight against a range of mutated creatures, some who are almost human like, and others who are like nothing you have ever seen before. Armed with pistols, axes, stun batons and more, protect yourself and those you care for.
Build and Craft
Feel every interaction; Break sticks to make fires. Use an axe to cut out windows and floors. Build a small cabin, or a sea-side compound, the choice is yours.
Changing Seasons
Pluck fresh salmon directly from streams in spring and summer. Collect and store meat for the cold winter months. You're not alone on this island, so as winter rolls in and food and resources become scarce you won't be the only one looking for a meal.
Co-op Gameplay
Survive alone, or with friends. Share items and work together to build defenses. Bring back-up to explore above and below ground.

You should definitely make this a series Drae.

[@JeandrePetzer]

Yes Please

He never makes anything a series you get 2 maybe 3 videos that's it, it's rather annoying.

[@Echo_the_half_glitch]

I don't think Kelvin lost his brainpower, I think he went deaf, just from the first few minutes of gameplay. Because the notepad being how you tell him what to do and him understanding it and being able to do things like build fires suggests that he's still mentally there, if not a little confused and disoriented from the concussion he probably has. I'm no medical expert though so I have no idea. Also if you burn the cannibals you get bones, which makes bone armor, at least that was in the first game. So that's what you can do with them.

[@Acrophobia2]

I agree. If he was bleeding from his brain he wouldn’t be running around😂

[@ChaseMMD]

Yeah bone armor is still a thing. Just requires both tape and rope now.

Hey drae, that geen marker that you came across is actually an underground area. Where you came across that abandoned golf cart, there was a tunnel behind it that lead to a underground lab of some sort. You should go back to check it out.

[@chloeholmes4641]

Well given its drae..... 🤭🤭

[@Omili]

You can make tons of different things when not using the prebuild schematics. Just start putting logs and sticks on the ground and testing what you can do with axe when pointing different parts of the logs. Just a lil tip: Don't start making things from 2 sides and then connect. Just keep making from 1 side and expanding as you go since connecting 2 things to make something between them 2 is just too hard to get right.

[@ATF-sv3wj]

Just love how I just bought the game 10 hour ago, played it 10 hours straight till morning, and now before I sleep Draes video is already out. Keep the good work Drae.

Please play more, love your longer survival series' (Green Hell is one of my favorites to go back and rewatch) Also yeah, that pilot was really dumb. You would never want to just climb out.

What you would absolutely not do is immediately jump onto the door

You should probably burn the bodies by dumping them on top of a campfire. You'll get bones that way. (At least, that's how it worked in The Forest.)

[@knightowlofhorde385]

So I read up on some basic features to help out for those who are playing this game: Press G to put away what is in your hand, Hold I to pull out your back pack for quick selection, and clicking the middle mouse button to zoom in and out on your phone/map. The only other tip I know is that items at the crash site, camps, and caves respawn everytime you back out of the game and go back in. That and you can get a lot of canvas by telling Kelvin to build you shelters...

[@DH-ng2lh]

Hey Drae, spoiler for the GPS tag ahead. You can put a stick in the ground by switching the placement mode when holding it (like you are going to make a fire). Then you can attack a gps tag to it. Hope that helps, can't wait for the next episode.
