The Mysterious Island

Mysterious Island is the debut title of the Polish development studio Calaris, which includes people to whom we owe the creation of, among others, the famous Mortyr. The game shows the adventures of five friends whose ship crashes on the shores of a mysterious island. The player takes on the role of one of the selected characters. His task is to find friends scattered around the island, organize a team, and then jointly build a raft that will help them return home.

However, this task turns out to be a bit more complex than it seems to be. It is necessary to solve many of the mysteries hidden on the island. While acquiring the materials and tools needed to create a raft, the player will experience many adventures, get to know friends and the mysterious world of the game. The culmination of the adventures is to free the natives from the curse of the evil witch ruling the island and to return home safely.

The design is an easily digestible mix of RPG and RTS style games with a distinctly accentuated life simulation theme, a pleasant graphic design and convenient control. In the game we manage a team of characters who can develop skills in a number of different fields. At the same time, battles with encountered opponents are depicted as in RTS games. Thanks to an extensive Artificial Intelligence system, the simulation of life is extremely convincing and meaningful. Algorithms describing character behavior are much more subtle and complex than in other modern computer games, which makes the game unconventional and the gameplay extremely exciting.
