Can I play Survive-ish! with a touchscreen?

How many sittings will it take?

That depends on the game and how quickly you solve its puzzles. Some finish in one go; others are better split across a few sessions.

Is it suitable for children?

Generally yes. Adventure games here are family friendly, though younger children may need help reading dialogue and working through puzzles.

The guide

Overview

Survive-ish. is a free HTML5 adventure game you can play instantly in your browser.

What it's like to play

Somewhere between a puzzle and a story sits the adventure game. You are given a world to walk through and a reason to be there. Progress comes from paying attention: a loose brick, a character who mentions a key, a path you missed. The pace is steady rather than frantic, and sessions usually last until you reach a satisfying moment to stop.
