About game

Staring at a blank screen while your coffee goes cold is a sign you need a distraction. Driftworld turns that free time into a grueling test of grit as you navigate a deadly ocean on a few scraps of wood. You must grab floating supplies to turn your humble raft into a floating fortress capable of reaching the distant Lighthouse. Managing your limited resources keeps you constantly busy while you craft better gear to stay alive. Keeping your crew fed and happy is just as vital as fighting off aggressive pirates or surviving a massive storm. Building specialized workstations helps you research new tech branches to upgrade your raft survival capabilities. Every decision you make impacts if you thrive or sink beneath the waves.
