Stay Alive is a survival game where you must gather resources, protect yourself from cannibals, and work toward building a raft. A good start depends on collecting wood and other materials early, then creating a safe place to recover and prepare. Knowing the controls and following a clear order can make each task easier to manage.
How to survive in Stay Alive
Begin by using your axe to cut down trees. Wood is an essential resource for building, so collect enough before moving on to other tasks. Once you have materials, construct a tent as a place to shelter. After that, build walls around your area to create a defensive barrier against cannibals.
Walls can help protect your shelter, but you may still encounter enemies while exploring or gathering supplies. If cannibals approach, you can either run away or fight them to make them disperse. Pay attention to your surroundings and avoid staying in a dangerous area longer than necessary.
Gather materials and make a fire
Collect stones, bushes, and wood as you move through the environment. These resources are useful for progressing through the game’s survival tasks. It can help to gather materials in a deliberate order: first secure the wood needed for your shelter, then collect additional supplies for other construction and survival needs.
You also need to light a fire. Keep resource gathering and shelter building in balance: spending too long collecting materials without establishing a protected area may leave you exposed to attacks.
Keep your health up
Monitor your health during encounters and exploration. When your health is low, eat mushrooms to restore it. Since mushrooms are a recovery resource, collect them when you find them and save them for moments when your health needs attention. Do not wait until you are in immediate danger to consider your next move.
Stay Alive controls
- Arrow keys: Move the player.
- Space: Hit cannibals or chop trees.
- E: Pick up stones from the ground.
Use the Space key when you are close enough to a tree or an enemy, and press E when you are positioned to collect stones. Getting comfortable with these actions makes it easier to switch between gathering resources and defending yourself.
Build a raft to finish the game
After setting up your shelter, defenses, and fire, continue working toward the final objective: building a raft. Treat the raft as the end goal and gather what you need while keeping your health and safety in mind. In Stay Alive, a steady approach—collect resources, build protection, recover when needed, and then complete the raft—helps you progress through the game’s main survival challenges.
