As supplies that players are able to carry are limited, items need to be prioritized for the task at hand.
Resources are limited, and therefore need to be managed. Also featured is a building system, whereby players are able to settle on an island and construct a shelter or a raft with which to explore the ocean, and a crafting system, whereby resources can be harvested and combined in order to create equipment.
The game features a dynamic weather and day-night cycle. Players are able to explore Pacific islands, reefs, and bottomless ocean trenches filled with detailed biomes, and need to search for and develop the means to survive.
Stranded Deep takes place in the Pacific Ocean, where a plane crash survivor finds themselves faced with some of the most life-threatening scenarios in a procedurally generated world. Stranded Deep is a survival video game developed by Australian studio Beam Team Games for Microsoft Windows, macOS, and Linux.
