Survival begins with a conversation
Today’s promise. Tomorrow’s choice.
Food, water and materials keep the camp going. Understanding one another is what turns those supplies into a plan people can carry out.
Make a promise that means something.
Agree on work, rest and supplies. A promise becomes part of the schedule, and its outcome becomes part of a relationship.
Adapt, then move forward together.
Gather supplies, repair the camp and prepare a rescue signal or a boat. When the weather changes, bring a new plan to the table.
The people behind the plan
Everyone brings something. Everyone needs something.
You play Rio. Mara, Jun, Nia and Eli are the four AI companions we’re designing to remember events, negotiate conditions and offer alternatives.
Concept art · Not a gameplay screenshot.
You · The explorer
Rio
You have a place on the work schedule, too. Explore, help with repairs and decide what kind of partner you want to be.
“Let’s find a plan we can all follow.”
AI companion · Engineer
Mara
Careful and capable. She wants a safe way home, but needs you to take her exhaustion seriously.
“I can fix it. I can’t do it without rest.”
AI companion · Botanist
Jun
Observant and cautious. He looks for reliable food and water, and wants evidence before taking a risk.
“Give me one more look at the spring.”
AI companion · Cook
Nia
Attentive to every person at the table. She cares about fair shares, even when she is tempted to give up her own.
“Five people. Five bowls.”
AI companion · Sailor
Eli
Experienced and direct. He reads the coast, questions risky departures and carries a past mistake he has not yet shared.
“The sea won’t wait for us to agree.”
A moment from the design
“You said I could rest this afternoon.”
Mara finished the morning’s repairs. The boat still needs work, but you promised her a break. What would you do next?
Written scenario preview · These examples do not call an AI service.
“Take the afternoon off. I’ll handle the next repair.”
Mara rests while Rio works on the boat. When the rest is completed, the promise is recorded as kept.
“Could we move the work to tomorrow and do it together?”
Mara can accept, decline or suggest a different arrangement. The original promise stays in place until you both agree to change it.
“Rest as planned. Eli and I will check the route instead.”
The camp makes progress on a different task. You preserve the rest agreement and use another companion’s strengths.
One island, different priorities
A place to explore. A home to keep standing.
Six planned areas connect supplies, discoveries and escape routes. Each trip takes time and energy that someone else may need.

Beach camp
Share a meal, make a plan and repair the boat.
Shipwreck cove
Recover materials before the tide turns.

AI companions, grounded in the game
Memories that lead to actions.
We plan to use language-model APIs to give each companion a distinct voice and a reason for their choices. The game will keep track of facts, resources and agreements, so every suggestion has to fit the world you share.
-
01
Remember what happened
Relevant events, kept promises and known facts become the context for a conversation.
-
02
Offer a reasoned choice
A companion can propose a task, negotiate a condition, or decline with an alternative.
-
03
Check, agree, then act
Game rules validate the action. Confirmed agreements enter the schedule and their results return to memory.
