About survival games
Survival games ask you to stay in the game as conditions get harder. In some, you gather supplies and find shelter before night; in others, you defend a base or dodge waves of enemies. The collection includes different settings and control styles, so check each game page before you start.
A good first move is to learn where safety and supplies are. Save scarce resources for the moment they matter, and remember that each developer chooses whether the game preserves progress after you leave.
