The game was intended as an episodic release, with the developers stating that they will look to player input to determine what happens next in the story. However--and honestly, this is probably why you came here--the game proved to be a CreatorKiller due to poor sales coupled with ''seriously'' negative press, leading to the developers discontinuing all further work on this or any other game.

* CuttingTheKnot: Early in the game, a non-hostile native steals your whiskey flask, and will only give it back if you do a TwentyBearAsses fetch quest for her. You can do the quest...'''''[=OR=],''''' you can just straight-up murder her and take your flask back.

* HatePlague: The apparent reason everyone is trying to kill you.
* InvisibleWall: There are quite a few around the place. While in the case of some rocks this might make ''some'' sense, it makes no sense to have one placed in a large gap between two tents.
** Several inversions of this can be seen in [=TotalBiscuit=]'s original video, where he can walk through crates and trees.
* LuckBasedMission: Enemy attacks that normally hurt you by an average amount will sometimes ''insta-kill'' you, even when your health is almost full (says the useless HeadsUpDisplay). This seems to occur with no rhyme or reason.

* NoEnding: See LeftHanging for more details.

The game follows the adventures of Garry, a cargo pilot who is currently in the depths of an alcohol-fueled depression after the death of his wife and child. While transporting a mysterious cargo, Garry's plane crash lands on an untamed tropical island... Garry is saved when the cargo somehow teleports him to safety. He wakes up to find a native tribesman attempting to ritually sacrifice him... upon extracting himself from the situation, Garry must explore the island and search for a method of escape, all while dealing with hostile natives, murderous wildlife, and other, more unusual dangers.

''Garry's Incident'' garnered controversy due to accusations that the developers abused [=YouTube=]'s copyright claims system to remove a highly critical first impressions video made by [[Creator/TheCynicalBrit TotalBiscuit]]. The added online scrutiny from this incident also brought attention to other alleged incidents of misconduct by the developers, including a number of suspicious reviews on Metacritic inflating the game's score, and implications of [[ShamelessSelfPromoter Shameless Self Promotion]] on the game's Greenlight and Kickstarter pages.

* {{Cliffhanger}}: The game ends just as the plot starts to open up; according to the devs, they plan to release additional content for the game episodically.

* ArtificialStupidity: ZigZaggedTrope. When the AI is not [[TheAllSeeingAI capable of seeing you across the map]], it has some downright stupid moments. For instance, as shown in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjTa_x3rbJE TotalBiscuit's video]], tribesmen will sometimes be hit in the back repeatedly and fail to realise that you are right behind them.
