Overview
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.

Embark on a solitary journey as Scout and her dog, navigating a procedurally‑generated river that winds through the ruins of a world drowned by endless flood. Scavenge for resources, craft tools, and build a makeshift raft while evading predators and the ever‑approaching rain. The game blends adventure, action, and survival mechanics, offering a gritty indie experience across multiple platforms. Every run is unique, challenging players to adapt to dynamic weather, shifting waterways, and the constant threat of wildlife.
