Field guide · Evrima edition

Nobody leaves the island grown by accident.

Survive

The Isle is an open-world dinosaur survival game. No levels, no shop, no on-screen map. Only hunger, thirst, scent, and other players. This guide is the little we know.

Territory

The island has no map. This one is ours.

Forests, swamps, rivers, a central lake and coasts where the tide brings fish and crocodiles. Learn where the water is, because everyone else knows too.

Survival log

Patch notes written as what they are: new things that can kill you.

New species on the island

Large shapes were seen near the lake. Herbivores have moved north. Nobody knows yet what eats them.

Storms and moonless nights

In the fog you can't see past your own tail. Those who see in the dark hunt in peace.

What you eat is inherited

Varied diet, stronger hatchlings. Mutations pass on to the nest.

Enlistment

You now know enough to die.

The rest is learned with the herd. Join the Discord, watch the devblogs, and hatch on the island.
