Description official description

Three men are the only survivors from a shipwreck off the coast of a small island in the South Atlantic ocean. They are washed ashore at the north west coast of the island and has to travel across it to the south east where a boat is located. On the island are six settlements and at only one of these can the boat be bought. The party also need plenty of food with them on the boat and this can be bought at the settlements. As the player guides his party across the island he will come across many animals who will have challenges for him to solve. By failing a challenge one party member will be killed. The game ends when all three party members are dead.

There are nine animals each with its own challenge in the form of a mini game. These are:

  • Catch the Koala: The koala is hiding in one of hundred trees and the player has six guesses to figure out in which one. A clue is given after each guess.
