Raft is a survival game by small indie studio Redbeet Interactive, in cooperation with Axalot Games (the creators of Scrap Mechanic). The production started out as a free game designed by three students. Due to its growing popularity, the author decided to develop a commercial version.

Mechanics

Raft is an FPP game. You play as a castaway, who wakes up on a small raft in the middle of the ocean, only equipped with a plastic hook. To survive, they first have to find something to eat and drink, and then gather resources to improve their wooden shelter.

Thanks to the crafting system and resources gained from gathering the floating trash and objects found on the sea bottom or found on small islands, the raft eventually becomes a full-fledged base, and the protagonist earns increasingly advanced tools.
