Bootstrap Island

Bootstrap Island is an intense, realistic VR survival game, inspired by "Robinson Crusoe". As the sole survivor of a 17th-century shipwreck you must quickly learn and adapt to survive against vicious beasts, explore the island and improve your skills to discover the mysteries of the tropical island.

Shipwrecked on a mysterious 17th-century island teeming with deadly threats and secrets to uncover. There is no hand-holding, no second chances—only instinct, skill, and grit. A ruthless roguelike where every decision matters.

A highly realistic, systems-driven world where everything reacts. Day and night cycles, weather, fire, and liquids interact in complex ways—creating endless, unpredictable challenges.

Death is progress—learn by doing, adapt your strategy, and unlock new items to push your survival further than ever before.

Every run is unique. Each new session reshuffles resources, events, and outcomes—pushing you to experiment, and discover something new with every survival attempt.

Discover the story of the survivor—life before the shipwreck, and the uncertain future that awaits on the island. There must be a reason you were spared while the others were not.
