White Island, for the press

What it is

You were shot down while flying and fell into the sea, near a small island. There are no tutorials, no map and no list of things you can do. In any other survival game you ask yourself what the game lets you do; here, how you’d do it in real life. The game doesn’t know how to “chop down a tree”: it knows how much a log weighs, what an edge does and what happens when something falls. The rest is up to you, and whatever goes wrong stays that way.

Surviving comes first: drinking, eating, sheltering from the night. Then comes getting out of there. With whatever you find you can build a raft, and beyond the island there’s a whole archipelago. And the question that won’t leave you alone: who shot you down, and why.

White Island is made by one person, with an engine written from scratch for it: JRS (Just Real System). It’s being made in full view of everyone: every week, what’s new is shared in the devhub.

Rocks and a palm tree against the light, with the sun setting over the beach
The crown of a leaning palm tree over the beach, seen from the trunk
The shore at sunset, with an orange and violet sky
Diving with arms spread wide, with two sharks overhead
The island from the air, with its reef in the middle of the ocean
A machete in hand, on the shore, with the sun low
Palm trees and rocks against the light, with the sun behind them
The tail of the plane sticking out of the sea at sunset
Palm tree crowns seen from below, with the sun through the leaves
A pile of reddish rocks lit up by the sun, seen from the water
The shore in the last light, already violet
A coconut on the ground, at the foot of a palm tree
The island from the sea, with the sun about to set
The white sand beach, with rocks and palm trees in the sun
Palm trees from the top of the island, with the sea behind
The calm sea at nightfall, with rocks to one side
