The Hideaway

The Hideaway is an exploration and survival game set in the year 3515, after humanity has left Earth. You are part of an exploration team researching the last traces of humans on other planets, including Earth. When strange magnetic events and a lack of maintenance cause your ship’s onboard computer to fail, you are forced to land alone in harsh environments. You must use your instincts and abilities to understand your needs and surroundings, and find a way to get out.

Explore the wilderness

Exploration mode lets you discover different biomes and microenvironments, including forests, islands and deserts. You can observe animals such as hares and deer, and explore the local flora amid realistic weather, sounds and other natural phenomena. The game’s calm exploration experience focuses on finding a way to extract yourself from your environment.

Survive the elements

In Survival mode, nature can become either your home or your enemy. You must find food and water, avoid poisonous plants and manage diseases, energy, hunger, thirst, body temperature, outside temperature, blood pressure and blood volume. Vital signs are realistically simulated, and death is permanent: if you die, you have failed.

Build your shelter

You can build wooden structures from logs and pieces of wood found in the environment, then personalize them with a wide choice of furniture. The interface is minimal and can be hidden with the Tab key by default.

Changing conditions

Weather and sky events are procedurally generated, and animal proportions and the quantities of wood you can gather vary over time, so each game is different. Conditions can shift from a walk in the forest to a survival challenge. Events include tornadoes, snowstorms, eclipses, full moons and northern lights, alongside starry nights, changing weather and the sounds of animals, water, wind and the sea.
