Details
Written from verified facts; labels mark how strong each statement's evidence is.
You wake on the shore of a misty island next to a strange old vessel whose ribs are carved with glowing runes, and by day the island is free to explore.
At night the Grey rolls in, a mist that burns anyone caught outside the fort, so the day-night cycle itself is the main survival clock rather than a cosmetic effect.
Survival also covers hunger, cold and weather: rain, storms and snow chill you, and you cook stews at the camp fire, brew herbal tea and wear fur.
The camp grows through upgrades such as a drying rack, a rain shelter and a smokehouse, and crafting moves from stone axes and flint spears to bone, obsidian and moon shards.
Every island has a rune tower with endless floors, and a guardian waits every tenth floor behind rune pillars with its own hazards and unique gear on floors 10, 20 and 30.
Eight of the vessel's crew were taken by the Grey and now lead walled camps at the four winds of the island, each guarding a Grey Heart that you clear by beating the guards and then the chief.
The vessel sails to eight far islands: a cane-field isle, frozen crags, a volcano, a land of rusted machines, a thorn jungle, a coral reef, cloud-high crags and a dark isle.
Each far island has its own creatures, bosses, rune tower and a page of the vessel's log.
The store page positions it as a survival game with a hard night rule rather than a sandbox, and names no comparison title or inspired-by game (BOUNDED: official Steam description, checked 2026-10-27).
Co-op is a headline feature: you open a room and invite up to three friends through Steam, defend the same fort, climb towers together and wake twin rune stones that only answer two castaways at once (BOUNDED: official Steam description, checked 2026-10-27).
Progress is portable between sessions, since everyone brings their own castaway and takes the progress home (BOUNDED: official Steam description, checked 2026-10-27).
It is an Early Access title with a small language list, English and Vietnamese, which is worth knowing if you play in another language (BOUNDED: official Steam description, checked 2026-10-27).
