Having been available on Early Access on Steam for over six months, BLTD has been driven and shaped by the community into a survival game that gamers really want to play. Set in an open sandbox environment on a deserted island the player awakes washed up on a beach to find himself in a state of amnesia with few clues as to how he got here and even less to guide him and find a way home. Further investigation reveals the truly dire situation you are in — wild animals, no shelter, no food or fresh water – you must defend yourself from the beasts that roam the island, craft items such as tools and shelter and strive towards making your escape. Will you succeed? Played in both first and third person view the game also features a multiplayer mode which is in itself fairly unique. You must collaborate with up to 3 others to achieve the keys that unlock the door to freedom but only one of you can escape. • Uncover a story that unfolds with new updates • Craft items using a combination of objects and methods like

cutting and tying• Online Multiplayer mode for up to four players • Lose blood, break bones, be poisoned and stave off hunger

and thirst • Varying weather conditions affect gameplay • Procedurally generated items must be found in order to

leave the island • Dangerous animals including wolves, snakes and sharks • Permadeath – Will you be able to escape the island or will

you succumb to its menace?

WHY STOCK THIS GAME?
