Lost Sea

Lost Sea for PC, PS4 and XONE is an arcade survival game with strategy elements. It was developed by Eastasiasof, the creators of such titles as Rainbow Skies or Rainbow Moon.

Plot

When flying over the Bermuda Triangle, the protagonist's plane crashes. He manages to survive and swims to a nearby small tropical island. His primary objective is now to survive and then find a way to go back home. During his stay on the island, he meets other survivors and forms a team which he also leads. They eventually manage to build a ship, but it turns out they can't leave the Bermuda Triangle in an ordinary way. Instead, they need to reach a magical portal located in the center of the archipelago.

Mechanics

The game's landscapes are generated procedurally in a way that fills every island with dangerous monsters an interesting locations to discover. You need to gather food and resources, build objects, and upgrade your ship. You also have to take care of your companions' most urgent needs while also having long-term objectives in mind. The resources are scarce, which regularly forces you to make hard choices. Despite the cartoon graphics, the game can be ruthless and often punishes you for your mistakes by permanently killing off some of your companions.

The castaways you meet have unique personalities and abilities, which makes the death of any of them a huge problem, making it more difficult to achieve your ultimate goal. Hostile monsters and animals are controlled by an advanced AI system that shapes their reactions not only to the protagonist and his team but also to all the other creatures inhabiting the archipelago.
