The premiere floating garbage town survival game! Scavenge whatever debris you can from the ocean's surface and grow your city while doing your best to survive in this colorful post-apocalyptic world.

Story

Survive in a feel-good apocalypse world. Manage your drifters as they try to survive in a harsh ocean world, where everything is trying to eat you or sink your town to the depths of the sea! You’ll need fresh water, seafood, and scrap to make sure your drifters can make the best of this wet situation. Recycle everything! Luckily the flooded environment offers all kinds of relics from the old world to recycle. Your drifters can transform garbage, driftwood, and flotsam into boats and buildings. These allow them to collect rainwater, hunt for various creatures, and reel up scrap from the ocean floor. A moving floating town. Steer your town as you explore a sprawling, dynamic environment with tall ruins, underwater cities, and coral reefs full of sea life and garbage! Raise your sails to choose which obstacles to avoid and which to dismantle.

What is happening now

Flotsam is a strategy-simulation game where you construct and manage a floating settlement built from the wreckage of civilization. Released in December 2025, the game tasks players with organizing a community on the water, balancing resource management and structural planning as they transform salvage into a functioning town. The game recently became available for free on the Epic Games Store during a limited promotional window in November 2026. Players claiming the title during the giveaway period retained permanent access to it in their library, making it an accessible entry point for those interested in its survival-management premise.
