Escape From A Short Escape

A top-down 2D survival game made by me, Nabil, for CSUI Individual Game Jam 2025.

You're playing as The Protagonist, who luckily is a wildlife expert, so you know a lot of stuff about survival. You woke up stranded in an island you don't recognize. You don't have any memory of what led to you being stranded, but you know you can't stay too long in this island, especially on a thunderstorm. Explore the island to survive, gather resources, and escape the island.
