About Survival Kids

Survival Kids is an overhead action-RPG where a boy stranded on a remote island must manage his basic needs to stay alive. His survival depends on securing safe food and water, as consuming spoiled or toxic items like certain mushrooms carries challenging risks to his health.

A core system involves crafting, where combining collected materials can yield new tools. Useful items like a bow or kindling can be created, though experimentation may also result in useless combinations. The overall objective is to endure the island environment and eventually find a way back home.
