When on a pleasure cruise for his tenth birthday, a young boy is swept castaway to a remote island by a fierce storm that destroys the entire ship. With no family or friends, he must fend for himself on this strange, seemingly uninhabited island and ultimately find a way to return home. Survival Kids is presented in an overhead action-RPG style similar to Link's Awakening. Players must try to survive through each day by getting enough rest, eating food and drinking water regularly. This can be risky, as certain foods such as mushrooms can have varying effects including paralysis and poison, while other foods can go rotten and make you sick if you eat it. The game also features a unique "merge" system, which allows you to create a number of different items by combining two other items. For example, combining bark and a stick would produce kindling, while using ivy with a bent stick could create a bow. There are plenty of useless items that can be made in addition to the essentials, so it's up to the player to think as to what could be helpful in their quest to survive.

This survival adventure game casts you as a young castaway stranded on an uninhabited island. You must explore the environment, gather resources, and craft items to survive the wilderness and hopefully find a way home.
Story
Castaway!
It was supposed to be a pleasure cruise. A present from my mom and dad, in celebration of my tenth birthday. My dad - the renowned adventurer... I used to dream of walking in his footsteps one day. Little did I know that my dream was about to come true.
We were on the last leg of our cruise when my dad gave me my very own explorers knife as a memento of our journey. I was so pleased and excited I couldn't sleep that night.
As I tossed and turned in my bunk, our ship was suddenly caught in the clutches of a vicious storm. Somehow I was flung overboard and the last memory that I have of that night is the sight of our ship disappearing into the ocean depths...
Game Objective
When I regained my senses, I found myself washed up on the shores of an uninhabited island. With no family or friends to turn to, I set out in search of food and shelter in the hopes of surviving this disastrous turn of events. My adventure had just begun...
