Start on a tiny raft in the middle of the ocean and turn it into a floating home, with a shark for company.

What you do
Hook floating debris, expand your raft, plant crops, purify water and follow radio signals to islands and story locations. A shark circles the whole time and nibbles at the edges.
Who it suits
Relaxed groups who enjoy building together. The story chapters are gentle, and nobody needs fast reactions.
A gentle survival game
Food and water matter, but the pressure is light. It is a good first survival game for players who find Valheim or Sons of the Forest too intense.
Building the raft together
Every player can add tiles, walls and stairs. Our groups spent whole evenings just on the deck, and that is half the fun.
Story islands
Radio signals lead to larger story locations. They break up the building with a bit of exploring and some light puzzle solving.
