Not every call for help is human.
Stranded Rescue is a single-player horror driving game with roguelike progression. You are a lone rescuer stationed at a remote bunker deep in the desert. When night falls, distress calls come through the radio, and you are the only one who can answer them.
The job sounds simple. Find the lost. Bring them home. But the desert has old stories, and some of them are starting to feel true.
Gameplay
- Answer the call: Use your vehicle's radio signal detector to track distress calls across an open desert with no roads. Stronger static means you are getting closer.
- Rescue under pressure: Stop near a survivor and hold to load them into your car. While you wait, the dark keeps moving.
- Deliver or push your luck: Drop survivors at a Safe Spot right away, or pick up more in the same trip for bigger rewards and bigger risk.
- Manage your resources: Watch your fuel, vehicle health, and seat capacity. A wrong route can leave you stranded too.
- Arcade driving: Responsive handling and boost for escaping danger and crossing rough terrain.
Survive the Night
You cannot fight what lives in the dunes. You can only outdrive it, outsmart it, and get back before it reaches you. Pay attention to the sand, the radio, and what you think you see at the edge of your headlights.
Progression
- Earn XP for every survivor you deliver safely.
- Level up and choose upgrades that change how your rescue vehicle drives and survives.
- Find hidden items across the desert for extra rewards.
The Bunker
Each night begins inside your bunker, explored in first person. Check the radio, read the rescue logs, and prepare for the shift ahead. Pay attention to what you find there.
