Tallinn, Estonia, 23rd of December 2024 – Maru VR is thrilled to announce the release of the Bootstrap Island Demo, offering players a chance to dive into the highly realistic, and ruthless 17th-century survival experience.
The demo allows players to explore and survive in the world of Bootstrap Island for one in-game day. While the demo provides a taste of all the features and systems found in the full Early Access version, the clock is ticking—players must strategize and make the most of their time on the island. But don’t worry: the released game has no restrictions, offering endless opportunities to explore and face the challenges of Bootstrap Island.
Key Demo Features:
- Ruthless Roguelike Survival: Short, intense sessions where survival depends on your skills—no hand-holding here!
- Unique Experiences Every Time: Randomized resources and outcomes ensure no two playthroughs are the same.
- Dynamic Open World: Featuring realistic physics and systems-based gameplay, including day-night cycles, fire, and liquid mechanics—all impacting survival.
Bootstrap Island Early Access:
Bootstrap Island is a Robinson Crusoe-style roguelike survival game set in the 17th century. Washed ashore on a mysterious island, players must explore and survive amidst the harsh wilderness. With realistic VR mechanics, players will feel fully immersed in the lush environment and its challenges.
Creative Director Rein Zobel says:
“The demo is a perfect introduction for those who want to experience the intensity of survival in Bootstrap Island. With no restrictions on how many times you play, it’s a great way to learn the basics before taking on the full Early Access experience.”
Bootstrap Island is available now on Steam Early Access, with a planned full release in late 2025.
