Stranded is a minimalist point-and-click adventure game that released on May 20, 2014. The store description explicitly frames it as "a short but memorable journey," and the game's design — focused on atmosphere and exploration with no dialogue or puzzles — is consistent with a self-contained, finite experience. There are no DLC listings, no post-launch updates of any kind in the developer's news history, and no announcements of future content. The developer has made no communications about ongoing development. This game launched as a complete, finished product and has received no post-launch content.

About this game

You wake from cryostasis to find your ship lying crippled on an uncharted planet; shards of platinum-iridium alloy puncture the shimmering alien sand, the wind passes quietly over dead hydrocolliders. It isn't known how long the ruined vessel has sat here, or even what caused the crash, but one thing is clear: Time is rapidly running out.

Stranded is a minimalist adventure game that foregoes dialogue and puzzles to focus on atmosphere, mystery, and exploration; it is both a love letter to classic point & click adventures, and an experiment with the fundamentals of the genre.

Assume the role of the astronaut, and explore the mysterious, sun-blasted wasteland to uncover something... anything, that might lead to your survival
