About this game

Something strange is happening in the world, people disappear, and then bloodthirsty zombies return. Your task is to find out what is going on and who is behind it all. You go to the island that is the source of the infection and find out what is really going on. Genre: - Strategy with elements of survival where you have to collect various resources and sometimes fight for them (some of them surrounded by hordes of the dead), build houses, hire workers and defend your camp from intruders.

How to play

On a computer, most games in this category use the arrow keys or WASD to move, the mouse to aim or select, and space or enter to confirm and act. On a phone or tablet, tap and swipe directly on the game area. If the Island uses its own control scheme, it will show you on the title screen or in its in-game help.

Use the Fullscreen button above the description to expand the game to the whole screen — worth doing on smaller displays, and it removes everything else from view so you can concentrate.

Tips for a better run

• Give the game a few seconds to finish loading before you start pressing keys — early input can be dropped.
• Close heavy background tabs if the frame rate feels sluggish; browser games share your machine's resources.
• On mobile, turn the device to landscape for games designed around a wide play area.
• Found a bug or a game that will not load? Use the Report button above and tell us what happened.
