Stranded


This is a phone game, which is quite fun as you are a person in the game called Mark, where you are stranded, as the game calls it, on an island after a shipwreck. Your team members are with you but they only give you hints when playing through the game. Your mission is to complete all missions, obviously, and you have to advance and find the necessary items needed for building your raft to go back to town. What happens after that you have to find out...
The basics, as you know, are moving around and killing wild animals for food. You will be taught on the way to hunt using a bow and arrow, where you have to depend on yourself to judge how much strength to use to fire the arrow to kill the animal, so as to get the meat. Kill the animal, and you have got the meat to heal your life, when wild animals strike you. When you have got the bow, it does not mean that you have an infinite number of arrows, you have to make some arrows yourself. When you do not have arrows, you cannot kill. But in order to see if you have got arrows, you can go and check your inventory slots in your backpack or try moving up to a wild animal and see if it auto-targets at the animal. If it does, look at the top right hand of the screen and see how many arrows you have left. It will be indicated there.
The next thing you have is the fishing rod. You have to fish for food to, and it only uses baits which can be bought or dug up. It does not waste too many arrows, and you must know how to fish. If the fish is restraining, you can see that if you look at the float, if it above the water and not submerged, it means that the fish is not restraining. But if the float is submerged, it means that the fish is restraining and it is a must that you do not pull back the line, mor if not your line will turn red and soon will break. You will lose that fish altogether, but your rod stays intact. Your bait is gone.
The axe, which will be introduced to you in an early stage of the game, can be used to cut trees which will drop out hardwood and some fruits which can recover your life. The hardwood can be used for some quests or make 50 arrows, better that driftwood which can only make 3 arrows. But once the tree is cut down, it will not grow back. You have to wait for a few game days, which will be indicated at the top left hand corner of your screen.
Move around, deeper into the game, and soon you will be meeting up with a tribe, which you can buy and sell things there, gain shells, which is the money in the game. The tribe will help you out a lot, giving you tips along your journey.
Move around, be careful of snakes and boars, they do a great deal of damage to your life, and look out for rare animals, and when you kill them they give you prime meat, the rarest and best of all kinds of meat. Some can only be found at night.
Advance, play and learn how to survive on islands you have never been to before, but it will not be as easy in real life, because this is only a game and nothing else.
