The "needs" meters, typical of the series, are not shown at the beginning of the game, but appear one by one, so that even inexperienced players can get used to them gradually. Once survival is assured, more needs have to be satisfied: bamboo can be cut and used to create fishing spears and basic furniture, driftwood can be used to set a rudimentary fire pit and cook the fish, a conch shell may become a basic musical instrument, and so on. There isn't much to do at the beginning apart from harvesting coconuts and eating them. The game guides players through various tasks in an easy and enjoyable way. Even though the basic actions are the same on every island, they are used to achieve completely different objectives. While the first island requires players to concentrate on surviving and finding basic resources, the second is all about social interaction with the other crew members and the last one revolves around solving ancient mysteries. More than the characters themselves, the environments are the star of the game: there are so many different settings, with specific plants and animals, that exploring everything will take at least ten hours of gameplay. Players are forced to start with one crew member only, trying at the same time to survive, find their friends and escape the islands. The group is out on a boat trip when a sudden storm separates its members, stranding them on the shores of three small islands.
