Welcome to the island of washed-up weirdos.

Russell Murphy, a professional mascot with a history of bad decisions and wild nights, wakes up stranded on a beautiful island wearing nothing but an oversized pair of purple mascot leggings and a strange gadget strapped to his wrist.

Unable to remember how he got there, he racks it up as drunken escapade gone wrong. But when the gadget on his wrist introduces game-like mechanics to his very survival, complete with crafting, leveling up, and deadly wildlife, Russell realizes he’s got bigger problems than his hangover.

Armed with zero skills, questionable instincts, and pants too fuzzy for their own good, Russell must fight off vicious animals and even more vicious castaways to uncork the island's mysteries and get the heck out. The tides are turned against him, but thankfully, he's got SPUNK!

What to Expect:

- Comedic survival fiction with LitRPG elements

- Dehydration (TM)

- Minimal number crunching (because I can barely count to ten)

- Crude language, often yelled!

- Spooky mysteries (ghosts not included)

- Incompetent (but lovable) characters who must 'git gud'
