Welcome to the islands!

Explore

Explore a procedurally generated world of islands, full of exciting biomes, quests and more to discover! Each new character made generates a entirely new world, plus join online games to enter a friends set of unique islands!

Build

Don't just survive... thrive! Build a new home or epic base for you and friends! Bolster you defenses against a whole host of hostiles that could raid your camp and take your supplies!

Make Monkey Friends

Shipwrecked life in The Survivalists is helped through its unique Monkey Mimic system, where players train up to 20 local primates to do a raft of tasks and help automate systems, from cooking and crafting, to collecting resources. Tasks can be chained together like a production line, so monkeys help make island life run a little smoother.

Craft

Get crafty and become a master tinkerer in island contraptions. Make tools, furniture, weapons and more that will help you survive on the islands.

Survive

Danger stalks the islands with bands of orcs that patrol the shores. Many more hostile creatures will happily make a meal out of you. Arm yourself and your monkey friends to defend your new home and stay safe on your adventures. Also keep a tab of your hunger as you need to stay in good health for island life!

Escape?

Wait, what is that?

Have Fun!
