About this game
The developer's description, from the game's Steam store page.
🧪 Project Cobalt
It began with a contract you were never meant to sign. Inside a cold, sterile chamber, silent doctors 🥼 watched as you agreed to something you didn’t understand. ☣️ Poison gas filled the room… and darkness consumed you. 🌑
⏳ Days later, you awaken on a hostile island 🌴. You are weak, hungry, and unarmed 🍖🥵. The experiment has already begun — and survival is no longer a choice… it’s the only option ⚔️.
🌴 Survive the Unknown
🍖 Monitor your hunger, thirst, stamina, body temperature, and health — every small decision matters.
🐍 Beware of scorpions, snakes, crabs, bears, deer, chickens, and more.
💉 Fight against invisible threats like disease, poisoning, bleeding, drowning, and exhaustion.
🌙 The night is long, the storms are violent, and the island itself wants you gone.
📦 Gather & Craft
🚢 Scavenge drifting barrels and containers washed ashore.
⛏️ Collect wood and minerals to forge tools, weapons, and survival gear.
🛖 Build shelters to withstand storms and environmental hazards.
⚒️ Upgrade what you craft to push your survival further.
💰 Economy & Progression
🐓 Hunt, farm, and gather resources to earn money.
🛒 Spend your earnings to buy rare items, materials, and upgrades.
💎 Decide wisely — every purchase can change the course of your survival.
🌦️ A Dynamic World
🌙 A full day–night cycle brings both opportunity and danger.
⛈️ Shifting weather changes the way you must play — adapt or perish.
⚡ The island is unpredictable, and it remembers every mistake you make.
📦 Loot containers and drifting barrels for supplies.
