plot
You're stranded on an island. To leave, you must please the God that rules it. This God sees the island's animals and plants as its children. So hacking and slashing through the wildlife won't do …
To please the Island God, you may feed its children, do missions provided by the Island God's altar, spread certain plants, curb or grow certain animal populations. All while trying not to die of hunger, or get killed by animals stronger than you.
You may have to displease the Island God occasionally – by hurting animals, or by chopping down trees (to build something else from the wood).
