I know this game... It was something about survival on an island. I don't remember the name though.
I've been hooked on Tinker Island. It's like an incremental sim builder. I got quite addicted to it pretty easily
Tinker Island fits this description to the T.
It's a island survival game where your survivors must uncover the mystery and story of the island. You'll have to make decisions and face the consequences. You also have to find fellow survivors to make your rag tag group of fighters stronger. When making improvements to the camp, the timer is based on real time to you can leave it to play itself!

Maybe not quite what you're looking for, but Tinker Island is similar, available for free on Android and iOS. It is what I call a timed game, in that you assign tasks and wait for the timer to finish to complete said takes, but it's all resource management, exploration, and building things.
Like I said, maybe not what you're looking for, but I've really been enjoying it, and it's free, so definitely worth a try.
It has some parts of an incremental game. You are on an island and need to collect resources and explore the island. It also has some story elements, where you have to choose how to proceed. I've been enjoying it for quite some time now. Only downside some waiting periods are quite long, but I usually do these task then at night.
Tinker Island for iOS and Android.
It’s an island survival game with an interesting game mechanic. It’s a little difficult to explain but essentially you have cards for various survivors and assign them to different stations in order to explore, build, and gather resources.
The story is not particularly unique, but I think the gameplay makes up for it. If you don’t mind games with timers, try it out!
