Island 359 is a virtual reality game that airlifts you onto an island that’s infested with dinosaurs, and asks that you kill as many as possible before surviving the trip back to your helicopter.
CloudGate Studio recently updated the game with a new mode called “Big Hunt” that makes the game even trickier: You have only the use of a bow and arrow, and you have to go into the environment to hunt Raptors, the Allosaurus and the new Triceratops. It’s a very different experience from the Mercenary mode that was first released for the game.
It’s also hard, not to mention incredibly tense. I spoke with developer Steve Bowler to get some tips, and it changed the way I approached the game. His first, and most important, piece of advice? Stay low.
“You’re going to be doing a lot of crouching in this mode, and sometimes I just play it on one or both knees because I’m getting old and decades of skateboarding and doing stunts has taken its toll,” Bowler told Polygon.
