So someone put a gun to my smiley lamp and forced me to buy a early access game. Turned out to be great :). Play with friends and enjoy when they forget to close the door so the zombies get in and kill you all. Explore the world, collect items and shoot all dogs. Zombie dogs are the worst.

Plane crash, multiple islands and crabs. Build a really unstable raft and sail around and collect parts to finally escape in a plane.
