Description

Marooned: Arcanus Island drops you onto a pristine yet unforgiving tropical island after a storm wrecks your vessel. Gather resources, craft shelter, and fend off wildlife, weather extremes, and mysterious threats as you strive to escape. In cooperative mode, up to four players can share the struggle, each facing a divergent storyline that culminates in a unique ending. Powered by Crytek's CRYENGINE, the game delivers stunning visuals both above and below the water’s surface for an immersive survival experience.

Based on the timeless novel, you and your family find yourselves stranded on a remote island where every day is a test of ingenuity and teamwork. Build shelter, gather resources, and turn the wild into a home while experiencing a narrative true to the original story. The game offers retro graphics and simple controls that let players focus on survival, exploration, and family dynamics. Single‑player mode immerses you in a solo adventure that captures the spirit of 19th‑century exploration with modern gameplay loops.
