Outlying Islands

Outlying Islands is a story-driven game about escaping a cursed island while uncovering the tragedy and hidden truth behind it. You arrive to escort your aunt to the mainland, but become caught up in the island’s buried past and must search for a way out.

The Forsaken Isle

Long ago, a sailor fell in love with the island lord’s daughter. The lord said they could marry only once the sailor became a captain, but the sailor died in a storm, and the daughter followed him in death. The island became known as the Forsaken Isle, and its sorrow gave rise to aberrant creatures and eldritch energies. Dimensional rifts conceal the truth beneath layers of mystery.

Explore and investigate

Twisted spatial geometry and displaced reality shape the island’s oppressive landscape, from crumbling ruins to woods filled with unnatural phenomena. Grotesquely mutated beings, neither fully human nor beast, roam the island. As you search for an escape, you must stay alert: one misstep can drag you into the abyss.

Solve the island’s puzzles

You examine environmental details, unlock sealed mechanisms and piece together fragments of the island’s shattered truth. These puzzles lead you gradually toward its central secret, while the forces you investigate threaten to draw you into their depths.
