Stranded II Web

Stranded II is an island survival game released by Unreal Software in 2007. You wash up on a beach with nothing, and you chop, dig, fish, craft and build your way through a seven-map campaign.

This is a port, not a remake in spirit only. It reads the original game files at runtime, the same .b3d models, .s2 maps, item definitions and campaign scripts, and the rules are rebuilt from the Blitz3D source that the author open-sourced. What you play here behaves the way the 2007 game did.

What is in it

• The full adventure campaign, map01 to map07, with the intro cutscene, dialogues, the diary and item carry-over between maps
• Hunger, thirst and exhaustion, day and night, weather-independent lighting from the original light table
• Crafting, building, digging and fishing, driven by the original definition files
• Animal AI ported from the original state machine: animals wander, flee, hunt, attack, can be tamed and fed
• Melee, bows, firearms and thrown weapons with real projectiles
• Skills, save and load, quick save on F5 and quick load on F9

Controls

• Mouse to look, click the view to lock the pointer
• W A S D and Space to move and jump
• Left click to attack, right click to use the held tool: hammer builds, spade digs, fishing rod fishes
• E to pick up, use, talk, loot a corpse and open containers
• Tab for inventory, B for building, T for diary and skills
• Esc for the pause menu, F5 and F9 for quick save and load

Not in it yet

Driving vehicles, the trade tab in dialogues, particle effects, the random island generator and the map editor. Desktop browsers only, since the game needs pointer lock.

The first visit downloads about 24 MB of original game assets, so give it a moment.
