Flotsam Game Information

Flotsam is a survival game set in a flooded world where players build and manage a floating town. The environment is an endless ocean filled with floating debris and submerged ruins instead of land. Players guide a crew of drifters as they turn scavenged garbage into a functional settlement, constructing buildings, water generators, and propulsion systems to keep their community afloat. Gameplay centers on gathering resources from the water surface. Wood, plastic, and scrap metal drift past the town, requiring players to dispatch salvage boats and set up collection nets. Crew members have needs that must be managed alongside the physical expansion of the town. Keeping people fed, hydrated, and sheltered determines whether the floating society survives. Building out the town involves connecting makeshift rafts and structures with wooden walkways and bridges. As the settlement grows, it transforms from a few bobbing platforms into a sprawling nautical village complete with fishing operations, sail power, and recycling infrastructure. The visual presentation uses a colorful style that contrasts with the premise of a drowned planet. Managing priorities is a constant test because resources are limited and the ocean presents hazards. Players must balance immediate survival needs against long-term expansion goals while navigating the open waters. The game focuses on methodical city-building, resource management, and survival mechanics set in a maritime environment. Flotsam is available on PC and the Epic Games Store. It delivers a loop of gathering, crafting, and building that focuses entirely on life at sea.
