You are stuck in an island as the only survivor of a shipwreck and must travel around the island whilst doing various minigames. If you fail a minigame one of your party is killed and there's three of them, yet you were the only survivor so where did these only two come from? I didn't see anywhere in the instructions about you meeting up with two other people. Anyway, amongst the minigames are

The Mathematical Marmosets where you have to guess the correct number of marsosets on screen.

The Memory-Testing Elephant where you memorise a series of light sequences.

Leaping Lemmings where you travel upwards and avoiding lemmings.

Maze of Crocodiles where you travel across a maze and avoiding crocodiles.

And The Kicking Sheep where you need to press the button that matches which leg the sheep kicks.

Should you lose then the animal in the respective game will kill you. You also travel to various settlements to buy food to survive and if you're lucky a villager will want to join your party, but you have to buy him so probably a waste of money if you ask me. This was an interesting one for sure, the minigames do add to the game's charm but some of them drag out a bit and when you have to do them twice in a row it becomes a chore. But all in all, it wasn't bad and I'm intrigued to see if there are anymore minigames to play.
