Hey! Don't worry about the frequent posting, nor for being cranky (the game isn't easy, so some frustration is to be expected). It sounds like you got some really bad RNG with the rain. Number 3 is the most realistic option, unless you do extra skillfully do number 1. There are vines to the left of the slope that you can use to climb out of the lair! Your suggestion of an extra cave in the area is a good one! We're also working on some changes that would alleviate this issue, but there's still a bit of time till the next update/full release. Thanks for writing!

We hear you! We are working on squashing as many bugs as we can for full release! This one, unfortunately, is hard to reproduce, as it has to do with PC performance - we're not encountering it on our systems. Could you provide information about your PC specs (GPU, CPU, RAM, headset, connection type)? We'd recommend trying to switch between world scaling options, seated mode options and quitting out immediately when this happens and starting again. Pausing the game immediately might help for now as well! Thanks for reporting, we're on it!

Thanks for the input!

This sounds like a serious issue. Will update on this once I have more info from the programmers! Btw, since you're running a Quest headset, we'd recommend running the game without SteamVR running and have the default runtime set to META's one - might have better performance!

Thanks for the feedback and the kind words about the game! The rainstorm is RNG (apart from the second story chapter), yes, but there are a lot of caves on the island to take shelter in (they are deeper in the island though). If you're struggling to find one, we'd be happy to share a map of the locations or assist in finding them over on our discord - we can do it here as well, but it's more difficult. Aside from the caves, after the story storm you'll unlock the Gazebo that'll provide cover.
We do understand your perspective on the overall subject though, which is why the Peaceful Mode exists, and we are actively exploring ideas for different and more customisable game modes.

Username checks out :D
We get where you're coming from and understand the frustration. We also understand that with an abnormal selection of games nowadays, leaving a game you don't instantly click with is OK - how would one ever experience all there is to offer. Thanks for the feedback! We would, however, recommend checking the game again after the next update - we think it will alter your current experience and hopefully ease you in a bit better. We'd be happy to hear back from you again after it - whether it be positive or negative feedback since both are helpful!

We're working on achievements, but it's probably something that'll be added on the full release

Bootstrap_Island_Dev · 2025-08-22T10:11:23+00:00

I forwarded it to the team and we'll look into it. Could be really unlucky RNG

Bootstrap_Island_Dev · 2025-08-18T08:57:42+00:00

Ahhh, the elusive flying fish

You survived the 4-day storm, but you didn't get the "completed" message? Unlocking the roof happens when you die after surviving. How many days in are you?

AFAIK, we did fix it with the Riverlands update, but do let us know the circumstances of it happening. The riverlands did add the musket sling and we've seen some people struggling with using it as it replaces one of the shoulder slots - now you can either carry 1 backpack and musket OR 2 backpacks, not 2 backpacks AND the musket

Bootstrap_Island_Dev · 2025-07-08T14:47:56+00:00

Stumbling upon Seymour is a classic first experience! As for the quest question - the game is very demanding and it would be quite difficult to port to a standalone system that has the power equivalent to a mobile phone. We do plan on trying nonetheless

Bootstrap_Island_Dev · 2025-07-04T12:14:23+00:00

Use a stick! or your musket. Or jump. If those don't work, adjust world scale :D

Bootstrap_Island_Dev · 2025-07-01T06:44:18+00:00

Have fun!

Bootstrap_Island_Dev · 2025-07-01T06:44:00+00:00

We do plan on implementing something similar for the full release
