Tidewrack

Tidewrack is a survival game set in an ocean with no land in sight. You wake up lashed to a few logs with no boat or memory of how you got there. With a harpoon and whatever you can gather, you build a raft and make your own way forward.

Survive at sea

Gather wood, fish and keep yourself from dying of thirst. Debris fields drift across the horizon and disappear if you miss them. You can discover 26 research nodes that provide tools for survival, and search for 24 message-in-a-bottle fragments that reveal why the world drowned.

Play together

You can play alone or invite someone from your Steam friends list to join your raft. The host starts a new world or loads an existing save, and everyone shares the same ocean and sees the same storms, sharks and raft. Each player has a separate backpack; to pass an item to someone else, drop it in the raft's storage for them to collect.

Explore below the raft

Dive to explore reefs, wrecks and fish in the dark. Your air runs out, and without goggles the water blurs into murk. Anything you miss on one dive remains there for another.

Defend your raft

At night, raiders may attack your walls while you sleep or stand watch, sharks circle the deck, and storms batter what you have built. When your battery bank runs dry, the lights go out. Fire can spread across your deck, walls and sails; a bucket of seawater can put it out. You can also attack raider boats before they reach you, using a watchtower to spot them early enough to take action.

The leviathan

At the end of the journey, something larger than your raft and anything you have seen so far is waiting: the leviathan.
