Synopsis

You wake up on the beach of an island, your only chance to survive is to build a base and capture the small creatures that make up the population of this island. Eating and warmth are also important for your survival.

Gathering materials

To begin with, it will be necessary to build a workbench to produce basic items, such as a club, an axe and a pickaxe for the stone. The first materials are already present on the ground, so it is easy to have wood and stone in required quantity. Some Pals are more likely to pick up materials for you. Just capture them and make them active in your camp.

Catching Pals

These charming little creatures are not defenseless, so it is important before trying to capture them, to be well prepared. Support of a Pal is required in certain situations. Be aware that the game level cap the creature that you catch to your level. Therefore if you get one that is higher than your character level, it will be lowered. Also some higher level Pals will popup early in the game and they are not to trifled with.

Similar? Yes, a copy? No

There are many similar elements with Pokémon, since both games require players to capture small creatures with a ball. Although the creatures are not just there to fight, they can be in your camp performing tasks to help grow your base. While you continue to roam the island in search of other types of Pals.
