After Lost Souls: Enchanted Paintings, The Island: Castaway 2 made it back to back "casual" video games for me. This one wasn't a hidden object game, however. It was a simple adventure game with quests of the "retrieve objects and deliver them to a designated character" variety. There was a lot of wandering around and it became repetitive at times. Even so, I persevered and stuck it out to the end. You play as Yati, a young native boy on an unnamed island. In his travels, Yati collects various fruits and other objects. Over time, he unlocks recipes to make food dishes and potions. There is a story that unfolds about the natives and several white strangers on the island. As this game was Castaway 2, it obviously had a predecessor. Castaway 2 was actually a prequel so it fills in the backstory for the previous game.
