# Explore, build and survive on a mysterious island in KeepUp Survival.
**KeepUp Survival is a creative base-building and exploration survival game in a natural world.**
The focus is on building, crafting, discovery and relaxed survival at your own pace. PvP is possible, but optional and not the main focus.
Shape your own survival: There are no fixed quests, you set your own goals, explore the island, build your base and freely develop your playstyle.
**An island with secrets**
A worldwide pandemic has shaken humanity. On this remote island, there was once a secret research facility meant to develop a cure, but something went wrong.
During the global chaos, an evacuation flight was launched, but navigation data was unreliable, communication systems failed and fuel was running low.
The plane lost control and crashed near an unknown island, by accident… or maybe not?
You survive the crash and find yourself alone in a seemingly peaceful but abandoned world.
As you explore the island, you discover voice messages from a woman named Jill, who was here before you. She reports strange events, experiments in the research facility and something hidden deep beneath the surface.
Inside the facility, you come across traces of these experiments… remnants of something human, that is no longer entirely human.
The research created something that should never have existed.
Jill’s last message ends with a warning:
*“I can’t receive any signals worldwide anymore – except for one last weak transmission from New York. Stay on the island… this could be the last safe place.”*
The island tells only part of the truth.
The deeper you go, the greater the mystery of the world becomes.
