About Stranded Deep
Stranded Deep drops you onto a Pacific Ocean after a mysterious plane crash, leaving you alone to survive. You must manage health, hunger, thirst, and sunstroke while scavenging the environment for supplies.
The game offers open‑world exploration, crafting, building shelters or rafts, and even constructing a gyrocopter. You can face three bosses for special rewards, earn Steam achievements, and compare your statistics on leaderboards.
01 / THE GUIDE
Survival Vitals and Healing
Your character’s health, hunger, thirst, and sunstroke appear on an interactive survival watch, letting you monitor each vital in real time.
Injuries can be treated by curing poisons, healing broken bones, or bandaging bleeding, using crafted or found items.
- Check the watch frequently to avoid sudden drops.
- Carry a mix of medical supplies for different injury types.

Interactive Crafting Menu
A dedicated crafting menu and quick‑craft selection wheel let you turn collected resources into spears, axes, bows, spearguns, and other tools.
All items in your inventory and those found on the ground can be crafted into something useful, encouraging constant experimentation.
- Start with basic tools to unlock more recipes.
- Experiment with different item combinations to discover new equipment.

Shelters, Rafts and Gyrocopter
Dozens of building pieces let you construct shelters ranging from flimsy palm‑frond shacks to solid clay‑brick houses, tailoring each to your needs.
You can also outfit rafts with sails, canopies, storage, anchors and motors, or build a gyrocopter for aerial travel.
- Begin with a simple shelter before expanding.
- Add storage to rafts early for resource safety.

Procedural Islands and Underwater Finds
The game’s world is procedurally generated, ensuring each island differs; you can dive for sunken shipwrecks, abandoned shelters, or hunt rare sea creatures such as whales.
You can also build and manage a farm with water and plant cycles, and obtain food by hunting, fishing, trapping, or skinning animals.
- Explore islands early to locate diverse resources.
- Use farming to supplement food when hunting is scarce.

Co‑op Modes and Island Editor
Stranded Deep offers online co‑op and split‑screen co‑op, allowing friends to survive together in the same world.
The map island editor lets you hand‑sculpt terrain, place individual trees, rocks and creatures, and share the custom island with others through the Steam Workshop.
- Use co‑op to divide tasks between players.
- Create and share islands to experience fresh challenges.
