Story

Most likely due to global warming, the waters have risen to a level leaving only a handful of places habitable. As a small group of survivors, you need to extract resources in order to build an ark and move to a safer place. But beware, with time the waters are getting higher, leaving you with less land to use!

What is happening now

Flooded is an indie real-time strategy and role-playing simulator that launched in April 2023 across PlayStation 4, PC, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. The game blends tactical strategy with RPG elements in a simulator framework, offering players a distinctive experience across multiple platforms. Recent coverage of Flooded has been caught up in broader PlayStation community discourse rather than focused on the game itself. The developer's trailer became entangled in wider backlash directed at Sony over physical game format policies, with the video accumulating downvotes alongside commentary about PlayStation's strategic direction. While this visibility has brought attention to the indie title, it reflects ongoing tensions within the gaming community rather than developments tied to Flooded's content or updates.
