Raft

Raft immerses players in a survival challenge where they start on a small, makeshift raft in the vast openness of the ocean. From this humble beginning, the game revolves around scavenging for resources floating by or submerged beneath the waves. Players use a trusty hook to pull in pieces of wood, plastic, and other materials drifting on the water’s surface. The core gameplay loop involves upgrading and expanding the raft from a barely floating platform into a sophisticated multi-tiered vessel equipped with all the essentials for survival, including areas for food cultivation and water purification.

Craft, Build, and Explore to Thrive

Survival in Raft demands more than just staying afloat; players must craft tools, weapons, and other gadgets from the resources they collect to protect themselves and their home on the sea. The threat of shark attacks is ever-present, adding urgency to the gameplay as players work to fortify their raft against assaults from these predators of the deep. Over time, players can craft fishing rods, grow crops, and develop systems to desalinate water, turning their raft into a self-sufficient floating base.

The exploration element of Raft adds depth to the survival experience. Players can navigate their raft to explore islands and underwater reefs, which are rich in resources and hold secrets of the game’s world. These excursions are vital for progression as they often contain unique materials necessary for crafting advanced items and expanding the raft’s capabilities. Throughout the game, players encounter environmental storytelling elements that reveal the fate of the world and the reason behind the endless ocean. Combining strategic resource management with thrilling exploration and continuous expansion, Raft offers a compelling take on the survival genre, keeping players engaged as they uncover the mysteries of its waterlogged world.
