About


Project Castaway is survival crafting title set in the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean. Hunt, gather, fell trees and embark on expeditions to traverse the ocean - discovering desert islands laden with unique resources.

Embark on the life of a true castaway - stranded on a deserted island, with just yourself for company. Scavenge or hunt for food, traverse from island to island and be carefully construct rafts & shelters for when the night comes - it can get awfully cold on these islands...

Being stranded has some upsides, at least. Explore beautiful Pacific landscapes. Swim through shimmering blue water to stand upon golden sands as waves crash against your feet. When the weather turns, take cover under palm trees as the rain pelts the ocean - and listen to the thunder crash overhead.

Use the natural materials surrounding you to construct a base - the key to your survival. Hunt animals, fell trees and scavenge ruined ships as you build your way to safety.

You best keep your wits about you - it can get lonely on these islands, and castaways have been known to lose their minds... Keep on top of your sanity and ensure that you're sleeping well - lest unnatural apparitions appear before you, seeking to take your life.

WARNING: BE CAREFUL BEFORE PURCHASING THIS PRODUCT. Basically paid for a product that looked the part with reasonable updates in E-A. Seemed consistent and reliable, so I thought…. Out of nowhere it released into 1.0 when it was nowhere near ready, and just as expected the Development looks to be abandoned. Developer is ghosting in the discussions. Game is in a bad state! It looks good graphical, but is full of game breaking bugs, unfinished and unusable content.
Total crap. Just another developer that dumps and runs. Dumps this ♥♥♥♥, and runs with your money. Save yourself, and your money. There's also a lot of issues they refuse to fix.

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 25 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10 places towards #1, and the 2,413 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Played some time ago and enjoyed but never completed. Went back to play again and the game won't launch just like so many other recent reviews.
I read the negative comments saying that you should play Green hell instead, that this game is bad, etc... However, I decided to buy it anyway! Let me tell you this: Project Castaway is one awesome survival game, yes it has similarities to green hell; so if you like green hell, you are going to love Project Castaway too! The survival in Project Castaway is easy in comparison to green hell, even though the survival mechanics are similar. The building mechanics in project castaway are better because you can move around your placed items and change them from one place to another. Project castaway is for people who love the island survival theme; Green hell is for people who love the jungle survival theme. Project Castaway has better graphics, better building mechanics and better book guide! Project Castaway is for all those who got bored of playing green hell. If you have survived the jungle in green hell, then give this game a chance and survive now on a tropical island! Don't listen to the bad reviews! If you do, then you are going to miss the opportunity of playing an awesome survival game taking place on an island!
Game worked fine for the first three hours, required reinstall to relaunch after that. Now won't launch at all. Tried reaching out to Mardonpol Inc. via their bug ticketing system (Listed on Steam as the Project Castaway Discord channel), they have not responded at all and it's been two weeks as of writing this. Be warned, this game may not function at all regardless of your computer's specs. I was unable to get a refund because I had over 2 hours.
EXTREAMLY GLITCHY ! Tried playing with a friend but it will not let him use furnace, campfires. Stuff disapears through the floor, cooling body tempatures is nearly impossible.
Having written a review saying "One of the best survival games I've played" I've now played 51 hours and find that because I chose not to have loot respawn (a cheat in my eyes) that I can not complete this game. I used all the valves on oxygen tanks exploring the ocean tree and the cargo ship and now I don't have enough for the plane. If this were the case and I could then turn ON the respawn option I'd be more than happy - you can't. 51 FREAKING HOURS. I'm too old to waste hours of my life on what would have been an AMAZING game. Give me my 51 hours back... or my money. Disgraceful. I lost a survival game to the game settings.
If you don't have a life this game is for you. It took me at least 30 minutes to raft from one island to the next. Painfully slow. Can only carry one log at a time and only 4 large sticks at a time. You will get poisoned and or a rash and die in this game. Don't go out too far in the water cause a shark will kill you, good luck killing it. I tried this game after playing Icarus which I enjoyed. I just don't have enough time in the day to waste on this game. Gameplay is way to slow for me.
ok so first off.... I like the game, looks good, feels good, runs well. Unfortunately the fundamental thing for a game such as this is Building... The building mechanics is just not up to par, instead of going to a wall and just snapping it into place you find yourself, especially with roof pieces, having to back up and go to funny angles to try to get the correct snap and sometimes it didn't even work, so you have to work around the issue. Anyone who buys this game, BEWARE THE FURNACE... Do NOT place the furnace against the wall, the ingots are retrieved from the back of the furnace, this is what lead me to refund the game, basically got my base the way I wanted, couldn't get the ingots out so I tried to expand the base behind the furnace and I just couldn't get the snap on to go green. Basically in a nutshell I almost spent more time trying to build.
worst dev team i've ever heard of
