Description

Stranded Deep is a first-person, open-world adventure game, with the main objectives being survival, crafting and exploration. In this game, the player takes control of the sole survivor of a plane crash in the Pacific Ocean. In the first part of the game, the player has to swim out of the sunken plane and find a life-raft. One of the plane's turbines will then explode, knocking out the player and sending the raft off into the ocean. The player then wakes up in the middle of nowhere with only a few items (such as a knife, lighter and a raft paddle) for survival.

The main objectives of Stranded Deep are to swim to different islands, scavenge for food and water and build shelters in order to survive. Additional tools, weapons and resources can be crafted by using the various materials found on the various islands. The world is randomly generated, offering almost infinite variety for the world, islands, shipwrecks and items that the player can find. While the world is randomly generated, a combination of numbers can also be input to generate a different world. One of the newest features of the game allows the player to create custom islands that can be placed in the vast expanse of ocean.

While fending off hunger, thirst and illness is a major priority, the player also has to be careful of dangerous sharks that can attack and knock the player off their raft. While some sharks aren't aggressive, other species (such as Tiger Sharks and Great Whites) will usually circle the player's raft before attacking. The sharks can also drag players deeper into the ocean if they hit the player. The player can free themselves from the shark's bite if they keep hitting them with the currently-equipped weapon.
