You Have Entered the Reality Zone

While virtual reality permeates the New Real culture, many are still drawn to experiences in physical reality. So a large island was restored to its natural state, and populated with several extinct species brought back to life. But can people still cope without the comforts of modern technology at their beck and call?

Welcome to Sanctuary Island

Leave your possessions at the gate

Rejoin the struggle for survival

A new life begins today

No machines, no computers

No TV, not even phones

No factories, industrial polluters

You have entered the reality zone

Out here on Sanctuary Island

You're but a shackle in the chain

You play your part in nature's cycle

This is the Old Real, not a game

Awoken by the silence

Hiding from the cold

Warming by the fire

Captivated by its glow

Mastodons on the horizon

Pandas curl up in the trees

The mighty roar of the tiger

Dolphins circle through the seas
