Description
After a surprising adventure at sea, you end up stuck on a lonely island. Can you find a way to escape and get back home?
It all depends on you, your skills, and your willpower! If you’re not up for the challenge, it won’t be easy!
Story
This time, you find yourself on a tropical island that you’ll need to escape from. The area has different locations to explore:
- Open Sea
- Island
- Cave
- Underwater
Just like in my other Escape Room games, you’ll solve trainer battles and puzzles throughout the world. Some puzzles are easy to spot, while others are more hidden and tricky.
The game is designed so you can finish it without needing to restart your save. There’s also a Game Master NPC who will give you helpful hints, and another NPC to help you find any important items you might have lost.
Recommended Emulator
It’s best to use the mGBA emulator to play the game. Other emulators might cause problems like screen freezes. Be sure to use the latest version of mGBA to avoid any errors.
For mobile users: You can try the mGBA core in RetroArch. From my experience, other emulators like Pizzaboy or Lemuroid also work really well.
