## What is Castaways?

Castaways is a sandbox game where you are castaway to a small remote island where you must work with others to survive and build a thriving new civilization.

### Gameplay

Castaways is an open-world sandbox survival MMO where players starts adrift at sea on a raft or on an island. In the seas players can fish for food, tools and crafting materials before finding an island to call home. Players can harvest the resources on their island to build on it and expand it and invite other players and start a thriving civilisation. Players must initially be strategic with the use of their resources as they may be finite or take long periods of time to replenish to survive. Players can travel the seas to find other islands and trade valuable goods with other castaways or fight them for their loot. The game is currently in Alpha which means it is nowhere near finished, so it can be a bit unstable during updates.

### Fishing

To obtain food or crafting ingredients to expand your items you must fish for them. You can fish by simply equipping a fishing rod on your hotbar and right clicking the area you want to fish in. After waiting some time you then have to play a mini-game where arrow you must press the right arrow key depending on which arrows fit with the static ones, and you will receive different scores based on your precision.

Fishing in the open waters will get you crafting materials or junk while consumable fish can be caught from fish pools.

#### Fishing Loot

After successfully completing the minigame you will be rewarded with an item depending on the pool you chose to fish in.

Fish pools come in three different sizes, with the smallest being the most common and the largest size requiring 2-3 players to initiate the fishing minigame.
