Project Cobalt

Project Cobalt is a survival game about an experiment that leaves you stranded on a hostile island. After signing a contract you do not understand in a sterile chamber, you are exposed to poison gas and lose consciousness. Days later, you wake on the island weak, hungry and unarmed, with the experiment already underway.

Survive the island

You manage hunger, thirst, stamina, body temperature and health. Scorpions, snakes, crabs, bears, deer, chickens and other wildlife pose dangers, alongside disease, poisoning, bleeding, drowning and exhaustion. Long nights, violent storms and other environmental hazards add to the challenge.

Gather and build

You scavenge drifting barrels and containers washed ashore, and collect wood and minerals to craft tools, weapons and survival gear. You can build shelters to withstand storms and other environmental hazards, then upgrade your crafted equipment to extend your chances of survival.

Earn and trade

Hunt, farm and gather resources to earn money. Spend it on rare items, materials and upgrades; each purchase can affect the course of your survival.

A changing world

A full day–night cycle brings different opportunities and dangers, while shifting weather changes how you need to play. The island is unpredictable, and remembers your mistakes.
