Deal | This open world survival game, with 66% positive reviews, is 65% off on Steam

Released on March 17, 2026, Project Castaway is an open world survival game where the goal is to survive in the Pacific Ocean. And to do that, you'll need to explore numerous islands filled with essential resources.

Developed by Mardonpol, this game puts you in the shoes of a castaway. At the start of each new session, whether you're playing alone or in co-op mode with up to four players, you must begin by exploring your surroundings to find food and fresh water.

Building and upgrading your camp will be essential for survival. This means that you'll need to gather various materials to build a shelter, as well as tools. In addition, to explore the other islands and gather more resources, you'll need to craft a raft while facing various threats.

But be careful, because you'll also need to keep an eye on your mental health. Otherwise, you'll be plagued by hallucinations that you'll have to fight using different weapons and tools.

Among the 1,769 reviews on Steam, 66% are positive. Many players have pointed out numerous similarities with Green Hell or Stranded Deep and have also highlighted several flaws. Indeed, many bugs have been reported, and the storyline has disappointed some players. However, the visuals are highly praised, as are the building mechanics. It should also be noted that the latest update was released on April 23, 2026.

Currently, Project Castaway is priced at $6.99 instead of $19.99, which is its lowest price on Steam. However, according to SteamDB, this 65% discount ends on July 9, 2026.
