Note Content

"To whoever finds this — I washed ashore with nothing but the clothes on my back. The islands are beautiful but unforgiving. I have seen creatures of impossible design, some gentle, others deadly. If you are reading this, you survived the landing. That makes you luckier than most. Build a shelter before nightfall. The things that come out after dark do not negotiate."
