Small raft instead of vast expanses: Raft is a unique survival game. In this maritime adventure, you must survive on a small piece of wood in the sea, rather than fighting your way through an open world. Raft is now playable on Steam in Early Access.
Raft is available on Steam: A new survival game has now launched on Steam in Early Access with Raft. In Raft, you do not fight your way through an open world, but must survive on a small raft. This breaks with the tradition of the survival genre. Instead of wandering through endless expanses of desert, jungle, or a post-apocalyptic world, your world is pretty much limited to what you build around you.
Survival game with a hook: You start alone or with friends on a better piece of driftwood. You find materials by pulling in drift debris like barrels and planks with a hook. In the containers, you will also find recipes for new items. You can then build your raft almost endlessly – right up to a huge, floating fortress.
Dangers in the water: At sea, you must always make sure you have enough food and water. And no, drinking saltwater is not a good idea. Hunger and thirst are not the only enemies.
Your raft occasionally gets visits from curious sharks that like to nibble on the wood. You must also defend yourself against the sea creatures if you don’t want to capsize.
Discover the world: In the seemingly endless ocean, you’ll find islands from time to time. You can dock at islands to harvest their resources, find food, or hopefully discover new recipes and materials.
If it gets too boring for you at the water’s surface, you can also go diving. On the sea floor – which is not as deep as you might think – you’ll find more materials for building your raft. But be careful: The sharks don’t like visitors.
More is to come: Since May 23, the game has been available in Early Access. It is still at the beginning of its development. However, the three developers already have plans for the future.
In later versions of Raft, you should be able to explore shipwrecks and sunken cities. In the ruins, you will find special treasures and recipes. However, it is not yet known when new content can be expected.
