The day and night cycle
The island has a shared 13-minute day and 2-minute night. Your countdown follows the server clock rather than starting again when you join.
The countdown, warnings, and survival panel identify the current phase.
Starting on the island
The tutorial gives new players a protected introduction. Joining an ongoing night can also delay your personal participation. Follow the status shown in your game.
The survival panel
Night encounters develop as you progress. The panel identifies your current night and encounter status. Your character, house, and crops are all part of your homestead’s survival.
Island creatures
Different creatures have their own appearances and movements. Some encounters belong to nightfall; others are part of exploring the island.
Movement, effects, and sound
Distinct attack animations, effects, and sounds communicate what is happening during encounters. Discover each creature’s behaviour through play.
Using weapons
Equip a weapon from Backpack and use its attack control. Weapons have different handling and uses; the equipment directory explains their purposes.
Changing conditions
The weather display identifies current conditions, which can affect visibility and the atmosphere of an encounter.
