The game

Nobody starts at the top here.

You enter the world as a hatchling weighing a few kilos, on an island that stretches over three kilometres of jungle, rivers, mangroves and volcanic rock. Every minute you survive makes you bigger. Every mistake could be your last.

Play a carnivore and learn to stalk, to track and to pick your prey wisely. Play a herbivore and discover that the herd, sharp ears and horns are worth more than speed. No classes, no levels: just hunger, thirst, instinct and time.

01 Grow

Grow minute by minute

Your dinosaur grows with the real time you spend connected and alive. Hatchling, juvenile, sub-adult, adult: every stage changes your size, your strength and, above all, who can eat you. Go hungry or thirsty and growth stops.

  • Hatchling to adult in real play time
  • A nose for tracking prey, water and carrion
  • Calls to rally the herd or warn of danger

02 Fight

Hunt or be hunted

Carnivores stalk; herbivores graze, keep watch and fight back. A well-placed bite opens a wound that will not stop bleeding. A badly judged fall leaves you with a broken leg, limping towards the river. Here, wounds matter, and bodies rot where they fall.

  • Bleeding, fractures and limping
  • Carcasses that decay over time
  • Cheat-proof PvP combat

03 Endure

A bloodline that outlives you

Every dinosaur carries a genome with heritable mutations. Court, mate, build a nest and guard the eggs until they hatch. Hatchlings inherit the best — and the worst — of their parents, and another player can be born from your nest. With the skin editor, your bloodline is recognisable at a glance.

  • Heritable and random mutations
  • Courtship, nests, eggs and hatchlings
  • Skin editor: six patterns and six colour regions

Living world

What you cannot see is looking for you too.

Foggy dawns, storms without warning, nights you can barely see through. Trees come crashing down, rivers hide crocodiles, and you can swim… if you dare.

  • Day and night
  • Rain, storms and fog
  • Falling trees
  • Swimming and crocodiles

Species

Choose your bloodline

Five playable species, each with its own way to survive. Real in-game renders.

In-game render: Utahraptor

Ambush predator

Utahraptor

Fast, lethal and patient. Its sickle claws open wounds that keep on bleeding: strike, fall back and let the blood trail do the rest.

Ecosystem

An ecosystem that breathes

The island does not wait for you. Wildlife grazes, flees, hides and dies whether anyone is watching or not.

Prey

Goats, boars, junglefowl, fish and crabs. Fast food for a hatchling that cannot take on anything bigger yet.

Human survivors

AI-driven groups of humans set up camps, wander, flee or fight. To a hungry carnivore, they are prey too.

And more

Built to last

  • Guilds

    Found your guild, recruit your pack and defend your territory together.

  • Proximity voice

    Text and voice chat that only those nearby can hear. Whisper an ambush or shout a warning.

  • Missions

    Objectives that push you to explore, feed and grow without losing sight of what is stalking you.

  • Life statistics

    Age, growth, kills, deaths, distance travelled, mutations… every life leaves its story behind.

  • Falling trees

    The forest is not a backdrop: trees come down and reshape the ground you thought you knew.

  • Solo play too

    No server at hand? Enter the island offline, with the same wildlife, the same weather and the same rules.

Multiplayer

One island. Twenty survivors.

Each world hosts up to 20 players. Join a server in your region, find your pack or vanish into the undergrowth and play your own way.

  • Regional servers, with their ping on show before you join
  • Global account: your skins and stats travel with you
  • Each server keeps its own world and your character
  • Fair play: the server checks speed, damage and nests

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost?

Nothing. During early access Island Survivor is free: open the game in your browser and start playing.

Do I need to download anything?

No. Island Survivor runs right in your browser. We recommend an up-to-date Chrome, Edge or Firefox with WebGL2 and, ideally, a dedicated graphics card. The game adapts its graphics quality to your machine.

Is this the final version?

No. This is early access: expect bugs, server resets and balance changes. What you play and tell us shapes the game.

Can I play solo?

Yes. If you would rather play alone, or no server is available, you can enter the island offline with the same wildlife, weather and survival rules.

How many players fit on a server?

Up to 20 per world. There are regional servers, and you can check their population and ping before joining.

How does my dinosaur grow?

With the real time you spend connected and alive. Depending on the species, reaching adulthood takes between 1 and 3.5 hours of play by default. If you are starving or dehydrated, growth stops.

Is my progress saved?

Your account, skins and statistics are global. Each server keeps its own world and your character in it.

Does it work on mobile?

For now the game is designed for computers with keyboard and mouse. This website works on any device: save or share the link and play when you are at your computer.
