With 20 characters and more than 350 quests to complete, there is never a shortage of activities on this tropical island. The crafting system is quite complex, both for building farms and creating tasty entrees and combining various plants to make magic potions and such. Later on the “Sawyer” of the group sets up a shop and starts selling you back items and you can setup farms to harvest other ingredients. The game is a slow burn that will have you running laps around the island at first. You’ll be farming for fruit and vegetables and fishing and trapping for meat then preparing all sorts of tasty recipes to service the nutritional needs of your group. The core game is based around a mundane set of chores that is somehow made fun by the charming art design and intuitive gameplay. You become the leader of the castaways as you start to scavenge for supplies, at first just to stay alive, but later to branch out and explore the island and the mysteries it has to offer. The game wastes no time in wrecking your ship and stranding a group of survivors on a small island. Whenever G5 releases a game that is NOT a Hidden Object Adventure I am all over it, and The Island Castaway: Lost World is certainly a breath of tropical fresh air and a nice diversion from my normal pixel-hunting adventures.
