CAMP SOLO OR WITH FRIENDS

Welcome to Gold River! A remote camping adventure you can play alone or with up to 4 friends. A chartered float plane will drop you off by beautiful lakes where you can kayak, hike the gorgeous trails, make camp and survive the elements.

A TRUE CAMPING SURVIVAL EXPERIENCE

One week turns into several as you suspect your guide is never coming back. Deserted, you discover you are trapped and now an unwilling lab rat. Can you survive an ever changing, artificial environment and it's inhabitants?

BRAVE THE ELEMENTS

Manage health, hydration, hunger, fatigue, and temperature. Use your survival skills and earn badges as you learn new ones. Outlast nature and uncover the perils of what lies beneath the surface.

EVOLVING SEASONS

The world shifts with time. Hunt in the abundance of summer, forage in the dying colors of fall, and fight for warmth in the frozen quiet of winter. Find your way through increasingly harsh environments and outsmart your captors to survive and escape.

THE WALL

Discover a mysterious barrier dividing the forest. Solve environmental puzzles, sneak past security patrols, or piece together scavenged tech to bring it down your own way.
