## What is Survive Alone?

You wake up in the woods. You don't know how long you've been walking. The trail behind you has faded. The light won't last. What's in your pack is what you have.

Survive Alone is an immersive survival game about staying alive in the wilderness, one decision at a time. Manage your body heat, hunger and thirst as you fight to survive. 

You will get lost. You will run out of water. You will spend a night under thin cover in driving rain and feel it in your bones the next morning. You will learn, slowly, what the woods will and won't forgive.

THREE STORIES. ONE WILDERNESS.
Wrong Turn - A hike that didn't end where it should have. Find your way back to the trailhead before something stops you.
Crash Landed - The plane came down in the alpine. There are no rescue teams looking yet. Survive until they come.
The Will to Live - No destination. No rescue. Just the Pacific Northwest, the rain, and how long you can last.

STAY WARM
Build a fire when the weather lets you. Improve the shelter where you slept last. A rain-soaked night under thin cover costs you more than a hard day's walk.

EAT & DRINK
Spear a fish from the lakeshore. Set snares overnight. Forage for berries, mushrooms, edible roots, and learn the difference between what feeds you and what doesn't.
Find a creek. Boil what's unsafe. Melt snow when nothing else is running. Carry empty bottles for the next leg.

CRAFT
Strip cedar bark and weave it into cordage. Lash hardwood and sinew into a bow, a spear, a fishing rod. Hammer salvaged scrap into something that holds water. Every tool starts somewhere in the world.

HIKE
Pick a direction. Every step costs hours and calories. A heavier pack costs more. The trail ahead is only a hint of brush, of stone, of running water.
The world keeps going

Day breaks. Rain falls. Snow drives sideways. A creek runs cold over stones. The deer leaves prints in soft soil. The weather decides what kind of day this is.
The journal remembers what you did. It also remembers what you couldn't.

It's just you, the woods, and whatever you do next.

### 2/5 — Rain?

*2026-08-21, version 1.0.6*

It literally is always raining. Like as soon as it starts it does not stop. I try sleeping, collecting wood to pass time. I cant make a fire and then my warmth completely runs out and I die? The rain puts out my fires if I can get it going before it starts but it either starts raining on day 1 or 2 and then does not stop until I die from freezing. Am I missing something? Also why does improving the shelter take so long and does so little. Does the shelter protect your fire from rain once it gets to a certain percentage? Also exploring is lack luster. Sticks, hunting place and bait is literally all I can find. I hope it gets better but for right now please stop making it rain so often or at the very least don’t let it rain for literal days at a time.

### 1/5 — Poor AI design.

*2026-08-09, version 1.0.6*

Why is it always raining? A challenge is nice but when it interferes with the gameplay it is a flaw un the game design.

### 1/5 — lol

*2026-08-05*

All you do is press buttons. There no interaction such as walking around or picking things up.. it’s just pressing buttons and words on the screen. Most boring game I’ve ever come across. 😅

### 4/5 — The game is fun however…

*2026-08-03, version 1.0.6*

I love this game, downloaded it yesterday and bought the expansion pack to support you. I’ve tried each of the 4 different scenarios. I love the island one… however regarding the two wilderness ones (the first one and the survive as long as you can one) these two seem impossible even on the easiest ‘wanderer’ mode. And I kept trying these ones for hours and hours on the easiest mode, traveling to different areas, etc. Once I travel a few times I reach places where there is NO water, I travel again to the only place it allows me to, no water again, there is no way to legitimately survive in this one … Please update it so there is a way the player can gather rain water to make it more realistic… You could have the option of carving a bowl out of wood with a lid so you can carry additional water, or weaving a waterproof basket with the rope and sealing it with pine sap to collect rainwater, something like that… I really love this game but certain issues like this make it seem impossible to beat, I tried in survivor mode too and that was just insanity I kept dying.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-08-02, version 1.0.6*

I’ve had a lot of fun playing this game I think the difficulty is perfect not easy by any means but not hard enough to figure out by the 6th survivor I finally made it out. The next challenge was even more demanding and a whole new learning curve overall 5/5! The only thing I would like to see in the pack menu I would like to be able to “split” my items for example if make an extra fire plow by miss clicking I’d like to split that so I don’t discard both items👍🏻

### 5/5 — Nice

*2026-07-31*

Good game

### 3/5 — Want to like, but…

*2026-07-29, version 1.0.6*

The game is very good! I need to preface this with, the game itself is not the problem! My issue is that this feels *very* much like a “ripoff”, for lack of a better term, of Survive, a game that is currently still in closed beta for IOS but has been on Android for many years. It’s a fantastic survival sim, and I have been ITCHING for its release. Color me surprised when I opened this and saw it had a very similar interface!

I just hope that this game was *inspired by* it and not meant to be a knockoff (like Minecraft vs “Open World Block Builder Sim”). They can and should both be able to exist! But please, I beg, differentiate so I can love them both guilt-free. Even a palette swap would help (might I suggest a nice forest green instead of orange, and maybe some unique interactions that make this less of a clone and more of a tribute 😅).

I do sincerely hope this keeps getting updates. There are so few games like this available!

### 2/5 — Just unfair

*2026-07-21*

There is a difference between difficult and unfair. The game is based on probabilities which means sometimes you succeed and sometimes you fail. Unfortunately, the way you upgrade your chances of survival are also based on probability (eg: fishing rod is an upgrade to spearfishing but crafting a rod requires you to get lucky and find plant fiber while exploring so you can just get stuck sometimes). The dev needs to give the player more control by giving them ways to avoid the failure state. I installed because the game looked beautiful but its just a complicated game of rolling dice until you win or lose.

### 5/5 — Great Survival Sim

*2026-07-12, version 1.0.5*

This is such a great text based retro game. They did a really good job with all the scenarios and I hope they make more like this! I’ve played most games this company has done and this game is by far their best. It really feels like they’ve come into their own here. Great job.

### 4/5 — Solid, but issues

*2026-07-10, version 1.0.5*

A solid little game. Some things are a little clunky, but thats a limit of the form. There are some clear bugs. 1. I tried to directly send a bug issue but that also doesn't seem to work. 2. Sinew is in the game but doesn't have a clear mechanic or utility.

### 1.0.5 — 2026-07-09

Hey Survivors!
• New: Make it back to the trailhead in Wrong Turn and the Crash Landed story unlocks for you, free.
• Bug fix: Saving now works as it should. Use Save & Exit and your run will be waiting under Continue when you come back. This fixes the problem where Continue was unavailable or a saved run would not load.
• Switching between saved runs is now reliable, with no blank screen when you choose one.
• Your saves are better protected. A save that cannot be read is set aside safely instead of being deleted.
• The run you are currently playing is now marked in your list of saves.

### 1.0.4 — 2026-06-19

• New scenario: Castaway. Wash ashore on a remote island and survive until rescue arrives by sea. Ration your water, read the tides, and watch the horizon for a passing ship.
You will be distilling seawater on a solar still, sun-dry your catch on a drying rack, carve a coconut bowl, craft a bamboo canteen, hunt coconut crabs, and harvest the tide pools at low tide.
• New progress animations across the whole game, with a different one for some actions.
• Fishing traps now drop a whole fish you can gut for raw fish and bait, instead of generic raw meat.

Hey survivors! Here are the updates this go around:
• VO Improvements: Survival warnings are now spoken aloud: low warmth, water, and food, plus a heads up when your fire or your daylight is running short.
• VO Improvements: Menus keep their place as you move through them, action results read out in full, on/off toggles announce their state, and tap targets are larger and easier to land.
• Cook up to four pieces of meat or fish in a single pass, for no more effort than cooking one.
• New to survival? Wrong Turn now walks first time players toward morning, with quiet notes in your journal as the light fades.
• Bug fix: Bait now crafts from any food you can forage, including the mushrooms and berries that were being turned away before.
• Bug fix: Salmon can now be cooked like any other fish in Will to Live scenario
