Described as a 3rd-person Disaster Survival Game, SURVIVOR puts players into highly interactive simulations of "the most dramatic events" within the past century. Scenarios include the Titanic, Hiroshima, Earthquake in Mexico City, Hurricane Andrew, 9/11 and the recent shopping mall fire in Paraguay.
Along the way, players will be presented with optional subquests where they can earn Hero experience as they save people, though the main objective of survival remains constant throughout the game.
