Raft: make a floating home of your own

Raft

What you gather becomes a floor, a room, then a vessel with your own character. Reviews find satisfaction in watching that home take shape.

Reviews enjoy both tending a home at sea and stepping ashore to follow the story.

What makes it fun

  1. Turn debris into a home

    Debris caught with your hook becomes part of a floating home. Each haul gives you a choice: add equipment or expand the deck.

  2. Share the work aboard

    On a shared raft, friends can divide the work of gathering debris, cooking and building. When a shark bites the deck, protecting the raft becomes another job for the crew.

  3. Take your raft to story locations

    The raft you build becomes your base as you explore islands and abandoned places for clues about the flooded world. You can head to the next destination or keep improving your floating home.

A typical run

Hook drifting debris to build a home that can sustain you at sea.

Reviewers enjoy seeing progress whenever their cramped platform grows.

Players describe the pleasure of sharing supplies, cooking and construction with friends.

Island exploration and the story give reviewers a purpose beyond construction.

Resource gathering can feel repetitive to reviewers, so enjoying the process of building matters as much as wanting the finished ship.

What sets it apart

Reviews enjoy the feeling of traveling with the home they have built.

Learning curve and difficulty

One player enjoyed redesigning storage and rooms.

The redesign gave them a reason to gather again.

That is a way to play for people who want their ship to suggest the next goal, rather than only rushing to the ending.
