Initially released on Early Access back in April 2023, it has now reached its full release. Being the first game in this developer’s library, is it worth being stranded on a deserted island for, or should you just stay at home with your current luxuries?
It’s the 16th century, the Age of Discovery, when legends such as the titular Fountain of Youth were thought to be out there, and many explorers set out to find them… and sometimes never return. You are a shipwreck survivor from one of the ships sent out to find the Fountain. Stranded on the Island of Hope without your memories, you'll have to work hard to not only survive the ordeal but also follow in the footsteps of your captain and find the Fountain yourself. It’s actually a fairly interesting story that is sort of worth getting invested in if a little cliché, and there’s plenty of lore about the islands and the natives that lived there if you want to learn more.
While you can rush the main quest, it is ill-advised. This game is called Survival, after all, and the continued reminder of this is more important than potential immortality. You'll need to keep your health, hunger, thirst, and energy up, or else that Fountain won't be of much use to you. You can get poisoned, catch a disease, and even have a near death experience that actually takes away some of your max HP. It's a dangerous world out there, but you will learn to thrive in due time. That said, it will take a while before you reach that point, as I will elaborate further.
