Stack Island - Survival card game

About the Game

PLEASE NOTE: Stack Island is currently being rebuilt for the upcoming 1.0 release. A new demo featuring the redesigned visuals, UI, and gameplay systems is currently in development. The current Early Access build is an older version and does not yet include these changes.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

You're trapped on a mysterious island. Everything you need to survive — and escape — is represented by cards.

Explore the island, discover resources and strange locations, combine cards, craft useful tools, and figure out how to overcome the obstacles standing between you and freedom.

Survival isn't the final goal.

Your goal is to escape.

But how you get there is up to you.

Explore the Island

Every location holds something that might help you.

Search beaches, forests, caves, abandoned structures, and other mysterious places to discover new resources, tools, clues, and locations.

Some discoveries may seem useless at first.

Later, they might be exactly what you need.

Combine, Experiment, Craft

A branch. A stone. A discarded container.

What can you make with what you have?

Stack Island is built around experimenting with the cards you discover.

Combine resources and tools to create useful items, overcome obstacles, and open new possibilities.

Some combinations are straightforward. Others require you to experiment and think creatively.

Not every solution is handed to you as a recipe.

Survive Long Enough to Escape

The island won't wait while you figure things out.

Manage your health, stamina, condition, and contamination while dealing with hunger, unsafe water, changing environments, dangerous wildlife, and the night.

Gather food. Find clean water. Build what you need to protect yourself.

But remember:

Survival is a means to an end.

Every day you survive gives you another chance to find a way off the island.

Find a Way Out

There is no convenient rescue waiting for you.

You'll need to investigate the island, uncover clues, find the right materials, and create what you need to escape.

Different discoveries can lead you toward different solutions.

Explore. Experiment. Survive. Escape.
