## About This Game
Goner is a first-person perspective survival-horror game that promotes self-
management and exploration style gameplay. You will have complete freedom
traveling through a large island, but you will need to be prepared accordingly
to survive the many dangers it hides. Face feral dinosaurs and the remaining
members of a lost civilization gone wild!
● Settle, Prepare, Adapt
Use nature to your odds. Build a place you could call “home”. Gather raw
materials, craft and improve tools needed to survive in a hostile environment.
● Plan Accordingly
Across the island, you will find safe spots (Such as shallow caves,
structures, or even high tree branches). Use them to your advantage, fill your
backpack and prepare yourself for the unexpected. Self-management is crucial,
think about what you are going to need to survive till the next location and
get to live another day.

its mystery… But be careful though, you have to watch your steps…Nature
can also be dangerous.
● Fear the unknown
In your journey, you will have to face dangers that surpass your imagination.
Moving shadows, harrowing sounds at night, the feeling of continuously being
watched… And the chilling sensation of being hunted by deadly creatures you
can’t believe they are even real.
● Survival Mode: Your only goal is to live as many days as possible. You’ll
eventually earn rewards and achievements that will boost your stats and skills
to equip and use in your next tries.
● Story Mode: You start the game with a clear mission: find your mother and
her missing crew… Then, get the hell out of there! Along the way, you will
learn more about the island and its dark secrets. Meet unforgettable
characters, and get yourself involved in interesting side quests.
➔ Senses: Predators will be able to see you, hear you and smell you. Even if
you can defend yourself, sometimes your best chance of survival will be to
flee and to hide. You will need to watch your steps and be cautious.
➔ Camouflage: Hide your scent covering your body with mud. There will be more
(unpleasant and dangerous) ways of disguising your smell, as well.
➔ Survival Mechanics: Stats and inventory management. Activities like hunting,
fishing, cooking…Craft and improve items and tools. Build shelters and
traps.
➔ Survival Horror Mechanics: There will be “safe spots” where you can rest,
build, craft and prepare without any danger. You will need to find specific
flints to be able to save your progress lighting a campfire. Inventory will be
limited and weapons mostly ineffective against certain big or fast aggressive
animals. Run, hide and avoid dangers.
➔ Skills: By repetition and success, you will be able to skill up your
survival abilities.
➔ Biomes: A variety of environments will shape the island such as rocky
coasts, swamps, meadows, overgrown forests…And natural & man-made geographic
features such as rivers, lakes, waterfalls, abandoned buildings or camps for
you to explore and use.
➔ Day and Night Cycles + Weather System: With their pros and cons. Traveling
during the day will give you more visibility and is generally safer. But you
will get tired and thirsty faster on hot, sunny days. Predators are more
active and your visibility can be worse at night, but your general stats will
last longer. Rain and fog will force you to change your plans.
➔ Natural Dangers: The island itself hides many hazards such as sticky tar
pits, toxic and poisonous flora or irritating insects among many others. Watch
your steps.
➔ Complex AI and Behaviours: Dinosaurs and enemies will react not only to your
actions, but the surroundings and other fauna, as well. Raptors will learn,
call each other, organize an attack, set traps… Predators will decide if you
are a worthy prey.
There are a ton dinosaur’s survival and survival-horror games in the market,
but none compares to the game’s premise of being stranded alone on an island
with deadly creatures and many other threats.
We are used to confronting these types of games as a heavily armed military-
trained warrior or an experienced survivor. This time, you are just a regular
person without these special skills. Goner’s main goal is to make you
experience fear through immersion in a hostile environment, where every
decision you make is important to stay alive.
The dinosaurs models, sounds and behaviors are going to be accurate with the
latest scientific research.
