Raft is a survival game that places players on a small wooden platform floating in the middle of the ocean. Starting with only a hook and a few planks, the goal is to gather materials, expand the raft, and stay alive in a harsh environment. The open sea offers both opportunity and danger, with drifting debris serving as a vital resource and the constant threat of sharks circling below. The gameplay focuses on crafting, exploration, and managing hunger and thirst as players build their floating home.

Resource Collection And Raft Expansion

Players begin by catching floating objects like plastic, wood, and barrels using a throwable hook. These resources are then used to build and upgrade the raft, craft tools, and construct equipment such as water purifiers, grills, and storage units. As the raft grows, players can add walls, floors, furniture, and even multiple levels. Strategic placement of items is important, as space is limited and threats such as shark attacks can destroy parts of the raft if they are not reinforced or defended.

Exploration, Crafting, And Threats

Beyond the raft, players can explore islands that randomly appear on the horizon. These islands offer rare materials, plants, animals, and story-related clues. Players can swim, climb, and scavenge, but must be mindful of their oxygen levels and the danger of shark encounters. Crafting plays a key role in progression, requiring blueprints and workstations to unlock new gear. Equipment upgrades such as better tools, weapons, and sails allow players to survive longer and travel farther.

Key gameplay systems include:

  •         Hook-based debris collection from the ocean
  •         Raft construction and layout customization
  •         Hunger and thirst management
  •         Island exploration with climbing and diving
  •         Crafting stations, research, and gear progression

Multiplayer And Long-Term Goals

Raft supports both solo and multiplayer modes. In co-op, players can divide tasks, build faster, and defend more effectively. The game also includes a storyline that unfolds through found documents and abandoned structures, giving purpose to exploration. Over time, players can transform a small raft into a large seaborne base equipped with navigational tools and automated systems. Long-term goals include reaching specific story destinations, building sustainable food and water supplies, and surviving increasingly complex environmental challenges.

Raft combines survival mechanics with creative building and cooperative play. It presents a continuous challenge where every item gathered or crafted contributes to stability and exploration. The ocean setting adds unpredictability, and the game’s slow but steady progression system rewards planning and adaptability. Whether played alone or with others, Raft offers a layered survival experience built around resourcefulness and expansion.
