PLOT:
The sun rises over the horizon. A crack between worlds. Dawn arrives and finally you wake up.
Though you woke up well-rested, you find yourselves not in your beds, this definitely wasn’t home. Stretching for miles around, you wake up on the sandy beach, the sound of the ocean waves crashing against the sand, but not reaching close enough to touch you. You couldn’t have washed up on the shores, for you find yourself to be completely dry. Maybe you got lucky enough to wake up near someone else, maybe you are alone, who knows. You need to get home.
Creating a boat to escape would be impossible, the ocean goes on too far, and reaching a certain distance away throws you into a sudden storm that would kill you very quickly. If not that, the lack of food would. Trying to fly out and avoiding the storm would, again, not be possible, for even with infinite stamina there is no food and nothing outside the island’s boundaries.
The only way to possibly escape is to explore the island further.
The in-lands contain various different terrain types. To the NorthWest is a mountainous region, high peaks, dangerous to explore but worth it if you find something valuable. There are many sorts of grasslands, with pretty grass and wild flowers and various harmless creatures roaming about. Though the creatures aren’t ones from any world, they seem most similar to regular insects. The various forests spanning the island contain many sorts of trees, it should be impossible for them all to survive there in the same area, yet they do anyway. Some contain various fruits and flowers, some are dangerous for people to touch, others are just regular trees. It would be difficult to know what everything there was.
Underneath the island is a highly complex cave system, all sorts of rocks and minerals and gems can be found down there, but exploring the darkness isn’t recommended. It is too easy to get lost, and strange creatures live down there that would want nothing more than to snack on unsuspecting travellers.
Though there are no signs of civilisation on the island, small abandoned campsites can be found dotted about. Several crashed planes, but no bodies. The ruins of what could be a once-used village.
Footsteps in the dirt.
You say a monster lives on the island?
No, no, not possible. Aside from the marks in the trees, and the abandonment of an entire island, there is nothing to seen living there.
You do want to escape, right?
