addedAs a reminder, let me explain what you'll get for that price: "The game has two parts. The first part, Story Mode (The Island), will keep you engaged for about an hour, or much longer if you aim to unlock all the achievements, beat the Unfair mode, or play in Speedrun Mode. The second part, Survivor Mode (The Tower), varies based on the skills you've developed and your strategy, but on average, it adds another couple of hours of gameplay.
addedLastly, I've always planned to add more content to Castaway. However, as a solo developer, this will largely depend on the game's reception and sales. Clearly, the better the launch, the sooner I can determine if my dream of continuing to work on Castaway can become a reality!"

Additionally, with the Pacifist and Invincible Modes, I hope Castaway can serve as an introduction to the genre for younger players or newcomers.

Thank you very much for your support, it means a lot. I'll keep you posted on what's ahead for CASTAWAY depending on how the game is received. In the meantime, I'd really appreciate it if you could leave a review, that helps tremendously!
