Survive 3D is a game where players build structures and landscapes out of textured three dimensional cubes. There are two main modes:

Creative mode

In creative mode, you basically just build stuff. You can watch a sunrise over a blocky ocean that you’ve created yourself. You can even fly.

In creative mode, players have unlimited resources and there’s no monsters or threats to your life.

Survival mode

Survival mode is more like a standard video game. You collect food and resources and make your way through various landscapes. You get chased by nocturnal monsters (the game has its own timezone) and generally try to stay alive. When you die in “survival mode” you lose all your resources and have to start again. Any structures that you’ve built along the way, however, stay in place.
