Robinson's Requiem

Robinson's Requiem is a survival adventure that takes the traditional deserted-island scenario and removes most of the comforting assumptions about survival. You are stranded on an alien world and must deal with hunger, thirst, injuries, disease, hostile creatures, and a landscape that seems personally offended by your continued existence. The game is unusually detailed for its time, requiring players to monitor their physical condition and use resources intelligently rather than simply searching for a convenient key. Injuries can affect movement and survival, while poor decisions can have unpleasant consequences. It is less about heroic exploration and more about desperately trying to remain alive long enough to escape. The atmosphere can be oppressive, but that is exactly what gives the game its character. Robinson's Requiem is a fascinating relic of hardcore survival design, where forgetting to look after yourself could be considerably more dangerous than any monster.
