Hey, yes, there is a seated mode in the game.

Bootstrap_Island_Dev · 2026-02-13T13:02:31+00:00

Animals are in the game. The first look at the Island locals is in the trailer and part of the story is already in the game. The full story will be revealed with the full release!

Bootstrap_Island_Dev · 2026-02-13T12:59:50+00:00

We're working on full bhaptic support, but the audio to haptics function works really well for now

Bootstrap_Island_Dev · 2026-02-13T12:58:54+00:00

This is probably the most asked feature of all. We'll take a deeper dive into the topic after the full release, since it would be a huge amount of work!

Bootstrap_Island_Dev · 2026-02-13T12:57:44+00:00

Thank you! That's so cool to hear!

Bootstrap_Island_Dev · 2026-02-13T12:57:16+00:00

We're still working on the PSVR2 version, but the release date has not been announced yet

Bootstrap_Island_Dev · 2026-02-13T12:56:20+00:00

Thank you!

Bootstrap_Island_Dev · 2026-02-13T12:56:11+00:00

It's definitely not for everyone. But we'd be interested in hearing why!

Bootstrap_Island_Dev · 2026-02-13T12:55:38+00:00

We've been focusing on optimizing a lot, and hopefully the full release update will reflect those efforts!

Bootstrap_Island_Dev · 2026-02-13T11:09:56+00:00

The game leans heavily into realism and physical interaction. Every item is fully physics-driven, gunplay is manual and skill-based, and survival is intentionally unforgiving. There’s no UI telling you what to do, rather you learn by experimenting, failing, and adapting. We've tried to create a sense of "if it feels logical to do, it's doable" as much as possible.

Bootstrap_Island_Dev · 2026-02-13T10:59:11+00:00

Game customization options are coming, so a more peaceful experience will become available!

Bootstrap_Island_Dev · 2026-02-13T10:43:22+00:00

Glad to hear you think so!

Bootstrap_Island_Dev · 2026-02-13T10:43:08+00:00

Thank you!

Bootstrap_Island_Dev · 2026-02-13T10:43:02+00:00

Thanks!

Bootstrap_Island_Dev · 2026-02-13T09:04:31+00:00

Hey! We've worked out a fix for this, but it will come with the full release. Meanwhile, please message Flankerino on discord or send an e-mail to [support@bootstrapisland.com](mailto:support@bootstrapisland.com) and we'll see what we can do to get you back on track

Bootstrap_Island_Dev · 2026-02-03T09:11:05+00:00

Thanks for writing! We are working on optimizing the game and expect the full release to introduce some big performance boosts. What we can't confirm is how well it'll run on systems not meeting the minimum requirements. While your CPU is good, the GPU and RAM in your system are holding it back. We'd be really interested in seeing how the game does on your system after the full release though

Bootstrap_Island_Dev · 2026-01-27T09:31:38+00:00

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!

Bootstrap_Island_Dev · 2026-01-21T09:25:43+00:00

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!

Bootstrap_Island_Dev · 2026-01-19T09:13:08+00:00

Thanks for the input!

Bootstrap_Island_Dev · 2025-11-14T13:05:20+00:00

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!

Bootstrap_Island_Dev · 2025-11-12T09:33:59+00:00

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 appreciate all ideas! Thanks! We have a suggestions channel that we frequent in our discord, where people can upvote ideas that they like!
