Flotsam

Flotsam is a survival and town-building game set in a flooded world. You gather ocean garbage and salvage from the old world to build homes, workshops and gardens for a floating community of drifters. You also set sail to explore soaked ruins and forgotten islands, looking for survivors, animals, resources and technology.

Build a floating town

Collect plastic, driftwood and scraps, then recycle them into homes that stay afloat. Desalinate water, gut fish and board up shelters to keep everyone safe. Decorate the town with plants, refurbished furniture and statues to keep your drifters happy.

Explore and recruit

Explore flooded remnants of the old world, rescue stranded survivors and friendly animals, and rediscover old technology to improve your town. The old world is polluted, so take care that your drifters do not get sick. Each drifter has a story, and specialists such as the Birdkeeper, Chemist and Electrician unlock buildings, quests and discoveries through their expertise. Completing personal storylines unlocks new mechanics.

Research and production

Research technology to move from burning firewood to generating green eel-ectricity. Build connected production pipelines that turn the floating town into a self-sustaining ecosystem. Clean food and develop cures for pollution-born diseases to keep your drifters healthy and productive.
