Exiled to an unknown island, Eirik and his Viking family must survive on their own. You gather resources, secure food, ration water, organize the camp and look after each character's physical and mental well-being, including illness, injuries and bad weather. Exploring brings contact with other people, some helpful and others hostile, as well as esoteric mysteries.
RPG and adventure elements shape the management, so each character's condition and personality matter, not just the supply count. It is a single-player game that suits players who like survival management and tough decisions, with more planning than action.
