Castaway Quest
The story of people swept up by a mysterious event known simply as the Wave. It follows a group of one hundred(er...ninety-nine) people of varying skills, nations and races. Their one common link being they all remember talking with an entity collectively called the 'angel'. What awaits these survivors? What was the angel? Where the hell are they? These are just a few questions being asked.
