CRAFT: Survival on a Raft

CRAFT: Survival on a Raft drops you into the middle of an endless ocean with nothing but a few planks beneath your feet. Your immediate concern is staying alive: hunger and thirst are constant pressures, and the waters teem with hazards that threaten to tear your fragile raft apart. Every piece of debris you fish from the waves is a potential resource, and every decision you make shapes whether you sink or adapt. As you gather wood, plastic, and other salvage, you can expand your floating base, add crafting stations, and build tools that make survival more manageable. The game cleverly blends the urgency of survival with the satisfaction of base-building, all set against the ever-shifting backdrop of the open sea. Your raft isn't just a refuge—it's a blank canvas for your ingenuity, a testament to your ability to turn the ocean's chaos into a livable home.

What is CRAFT: Survival on a Raft

Master the art of makeshift living on a tiny raft adrift in a vast, indifferent ocean. Gather, craft, and expand your way to sustainability while the sea throws its worst at you.

How to Play

Use your hook to snag floating debris, then manage your resources and health meters. Craft essential items like fishing rods and water purifiers, and build extensions to your raft to unlock more possibilities.

Tips for Playing

Prioritize a water collector early—dehydration is a more immediate threat than hunger.
Only expand your raft when you have spare materials; a hasty build can leave you without repairs.
Keep an eye on the horizon for incoming storms and reinforce your raft before they hit.
Repair damage to your raft as soon as it occurs; a small hole can become a sinking problem.
Don't ignore the creatures below—their attacks can destroy your hard work in seconds.
