Driftwood Isles is a cozy survival adventure on a chain of tropical islands. Washed up on a palm-fringed beach, you gather, craft, and build your way from a few sticks on the sand to a stilt house by the lagoon, an outrigger canoe, and, in the end, a ship that can cross the storm that rings the islands.
Features
- Gather wood, stone, fiber and coconuts, and craft an axe, pickaxe, fishing rod, torch, machete, sling and spear.
- Build a stilt house stage by stage, or your own stilt buildings, overwater bungalows, piers, and walls piece by piece.
- Fish the lagoon, grow taro, sweet potatoes and pineapples, and cook dishes that give you buffs.
- Sail your canoe to other islands: a jungle full of monkeys, a black basalt spire, a shipwreck key, and a ring-shaped atoll. Your map is an old chart that fills in as you explore.
- Dive the reefs and wrecks for sunken treasure, among turtles, mantas, dolphins and whales.
- Sneak into pirate forts, win them in machete and sling fights, and free the parrot they keep caged. A shy stray cat can join you too.
- Find the three pieces of a star chart, build a ship, and sail her through the Veil.
- Day and night, tides, rain and storms, a character creator, photo mode, three save slots, and gamepad support.
