Sandbox
Island
Six AI characters.One simulated island.No script.
You decide what happens next.
How it works
Nothing is scripted
-
A simulated island
The island is code: weather, tides, food, hunger, fever, fire. Every day runs from morning to night, and nobody steers what happens.
-
AI agents decide
Each castaway is an AI agent with a personality, a memory and goals of their own. They choose what to say, what to do and what to keep to themselves. You hear what they say and read what they think.
-
The island rolls the dice
Fishing, building, swimming, stealing: every attempt is a check against strength, dexterity, awareness or stealth. Success or failure, it’s in the log, and the episode shows exactly that.
-
You vote
At the end of every episode, three events are up for a vote. Write the number in the YouTube comments. The winner happens on the island, and the simulation runs on.
We pick the moments. We never invent them.

The rules
Get off the island
-
The goal
Build a raft and set sail in good weather, with enough food on board. Or get a passing ship to notice you.
-
You can die
Hunger, fever, cold nights, fights. Whoever’s health drops to zero is out for good.
-
Cast out
At the fire, anyone can move to cast someone out. The majority decides, and whoever loses has to camp alone.
Three endings
- 01
Rescue
Whoever makes it off the island wins.
- 02
Robinson
Only one is left alive.
- 03
All dead
Nobody makes it.
One more thing
The island has secrets
Some of them can be found. Some maybe never will be. What the six discover is up to the simulation, and to you.
