Flotsam (v1.0.0)

Set in a flooded world where much of the old civilization lies submerged, *Flotsam* challenges players to build and manage a floating community by gathering and repurposing ocean debris. As the leader of a group of survivors, you collect plastic, driftwood, and scavenged materials from the water’s surface to construct homes, workshops, and gardens, transforming waste into a livable environment. The game emphasizes survival and resourcefulness, requiring you to desalinate seawater, prepare food, and secure shelters to protect your community from environmental hazards and pollution-related illnesses. Along the way, you can decorate your settlement with plants, refurbished furniture, and statues that boost the morale of your floating town’s inhabitants. Exploration plays a key role in *Flotsam*, as you navigate through submerged ruins and forgotten islands to uncover remnants of the old world, rescue stranded survivors and animals, and gather technology to improve your settlement’s sustainability. Each drifter in your crew has unique skills and personal stories, which, when recruited, unlock new buildings, quests, and gameplay mechanics. By researching cleaner energy sources and creating interconnected production chains, you gradually transform your floating village into a self-sustaining ecosystem. Balancing expansion with the health and happiness of your community, *Flotsam* offers a hopeful vision of recovery and innovation in a world reshaped by environmental disaster.
