After a mysterious boating accident, you find yourself stranded on a small tropical island. Life isn't so bad here: there's food, wood, and gold for the taking, so why leave? Well, even paradise has its dark moments, and this particular paradise is about to be wiped off the map by a hurricane. Your newfound life of leisure has turned into a lesson in bare survival. Avoid starving to death, chop wood, build a boat, and get off that sand pile. Before you leave, you might even have enough time to line your pockets with the gold that still litters the island.

The object of the game is still same: build a boat and get off the island. Beached II has several changes to the gameplay, making it much more challenging. You must now keep nourished, by eating fish, coconuts and bananas, quench your thirst, and then find time to rest. Of course, there is still the lure of gold. There are also other survivors on the island controlled by the computer. You must decide whether you should compete for the island's resources or help them get off the island. The sequel also has much better graphics, and some important improvements to the interface.
