Vastated — the island where your clothes are your inventory
An open-world, full-loot survival shooter where players scavenge, build bases, raid other survivors, and risk everything they carry.
Field notes
The design makes inventory a bodily problem rather than a menu problem: clothes determine capacity, armor degrades under impact, and excess weight can reduce a player to walking speed. Death leaves a body or bag in the world for someone else to find. The setting adds an infrastructure constraint through the Skein, a satellite system that restores connectivity only during overhead passes. The homepage exposes a playtest-pool signup and links to a fuller roadmap, while the current build’s availability is not established here.
