Frequently Asked Questions

It's not working! Help!

This version of Stranded runs on RenPyWeb which requires WebAssembly and Emscripten support. If you see the following error message:

...then you can't run Stranded on this browser. Sorry.

Currently the following browsers are confirmed not being able to work:

• - iOS: any and all browsers FOR DEVICES OLDER THAN IOS 15.7 (they're all reskins of mobile Safari)
• - Internet Explorer 11 (no WebAssembly support)

Though user-submitted testing, apparently iOS versions 15.7 and above have versions of Safari/Firefox etc. that can play Stranded (web edition). If you aren't yet updated to this version, we ask you to update iOS to at least version 15.7, as well as the browser of choice, and try again.

How do I make the game fullscreen?

There's an icon on the bottom right of the visual novel container that looks like this:

This doesn't feel like the real experience...

Despite best efforts, many corners had to be cut: the main menu video is now a static image, images appear blurry while assets are loading, music takes a while to play and sound effects may not play in time. To avoid these issues, I recommend that you download and play a local version of the game rather than in a web browser; this version is for players who have no local file saving or application running permissions. (...or who don't want to update.)
