Castaways & Conspiracies

A three hour tour.

A. Three. Hour. Tour. That’s all it was supposed to be. Just three hours out on the Pacific. Enjoy the sun and surf, take a few Polaroids, maybe spot a whale or a dolphin, then back to beautiful Hawaii. But then the weather started getting rough, your tiny ship was tossed. I think you can see where this is going. 

So here you are, stranded on an uncharted desert island, but it could be worse. Sure it’s as primitive as can be, but it is a tropical paradise complete with warm waters, cool breezes, and sun-kissed beaches. You and your fellow castaways have built a nice little tropical island nest here, but that hasn’t stopped you from trying to leave the island. Over and over and over again. 

As the failed escape attempts pile up, the camaraderie between you and your fellow castaways begins to strain under the weight of disappointment and suspicion. With every attempt to leave the island failing due to some last-minute fluke or highly improbable coincidence, the castaways are beginning to suspect that there’s something or someone acting to keep them here. All signs point to a traitor within the group. It’s only a matter of time before you’re the one under suspicion. 

In Castaways & Conspiracies, the peace and laughter of a familiar tropical paradise begin to unravel, revealing a web of lies and hidden agendas where everyone’s a suspect and alliances shift in the blink of an eye. As life on the island gets weirder and more sinister, you’ll have to decide who you can trust and who gets a coconut to the head.
