Hold Your Own

Hold Your Own is a survival game set across a small archipelago occupied by insurgents. After fleeing your home, you are stranded on an island with little equipment and abandoned towns. You gather resources, contend with the elements, and fight insurgents and hostile animals to survive, claim resources and expand your building capabilities. The insurgents grow stronger and more persistent as you regroup, and the struggle over territory and resources can involve both taking and losing ground. Your aim is to make the islands safe for citizens to return.

Quests and modes

Single-player includes a linear quest line. You can play through the quests or choose Full Sandbox Mode, with or without tutorials; quests are not available in Full Sandbox Mode. Tutorial Quest Mode and Quest Mode are also available. Side quests, repeatable quests and spontaneous events are planned.

Survival and progression

You manage hunger, thirst and body temperature while gathering resources, hunting, farming and raising animals. You can build a base, craft building components, furniture, workbenches, clothing, ammunition and weapons, cook food, mine and refine ores, and use power and electricity. The game also includes vehicles, along with day/night and weather cycles.

You earn experience, levels and skill points to spend across more than one category, allowing you to specialize in some areas over others. The planned AI is intended to grow more complex as you progress. Friendly NPCs include a Trader, Arms Dealer, Pharmacist and Mechanic, and you can fight AI enemies.

Multiplayer

Multiplayer is on hold due to technical issues. The progression and skill system can also allow teams to specialize more narrowly.
