Island in the South is a ‘Choose your own Adventure Book’ with the addition of cards. 

Inspired by the book Zum Kontinenten des Eisigen Südens by Erich von Drygalski and featured on the Re: Public Domain page because of that.

 

Discover the Island through the perspective of four scientists in two time periods; before and after the Island has been discovered for the first time.

 

Collect cards of places and things you see on your journey. After the Island has been discovered half of the cards/possibilities fall away. You are left with the consequences you can see during your second playthrough.

 

"Once you have discovered something you can’t go back."

 

The game questions the consequences of human curiosity and the exploitation of our environment.
