The Forward Scout is then led to the uninhabited Balboa Island and then to Caravan Town, which was once a bustling island town until its residents were forced to abandon it due to a salmonella outbreak. Despite this, the lack of supplies and a potential mutiny forced Olof to abandon the ship and leave the crew to their fate. However, instead of working on anything meaningful, he built the Vasagatan and fled the country. The Forward Scout then comes across a derelict luxury yacht called the Vasagatan, once owned by Olof Wilkstrom, a government official who was in charge of preventing Sweden from being flooded. Their first location is a Radio Tower that used to be a nuclear reactor testing site. Using a radio receiver, the Forward Scout follows a trail of radio signals. With nothing but a simple raft, the Forward Scout sets out into the open ocean in search of a rumored "Utopia" where it is said there is still dry land to live on. The notebook the player acquires at the start tracks the story progression, with each major location visited marked with separate entries. On her journey, she discovers various locations, such as a crashed yacht, a large land mass that seems to be a wildlife reserve, a shantytown built out of scrap metal, and a large dome-like structure floating in the ocean that served as a haven for civilization. The player (named Maya) unveils the game's storyline, in which the world has been deserted, while the player character is searching for her husband and daughter. Eventually, the world's elite decided to abandon dry land altogether to live in floating cities, while the rest of the population is left to fend for themselves in a flooded world. Civilization collapsed as desperate plans to reverse the flooding failed or were abandoned.
In the near future, climate change and rising temperatures have caused the polar ice caps to melt, flooding the entire planet and leaving almost no dry land to settle on. The story only starts with the creation of a radio receiver and the placement of 3 antennae. This synopsis can be achieved once the players begin the story. The player can also dive in coastal regions and collect special items.
During the game, the raft may pass by islands that the player can explore to get special items and resources. One can do so by killing or driving away the seagull. When growing food, however, the player must protect the food from seagulls. The player also needs to manage basic needs like hunger and thirst by catching or growing food and purifying water to drink. These can be used to control and guide the raft, increase the size and stability of the raft, and defend the raft from the sharks. For example, tools, weapons and nets can be manufactured, and a steering wheel can be made. Using a crafting system, the player can use the collected materials to assemble and research new items and to expand and improve the raft. These sharks will also occasionally attack corners of the raft, destroying parts of it. The player can also be attacked or killed by sharks that are always swimming around the raft. The player can leave the raft and collect things while swimming, but must be careful as the raft is always moving due to the continuous ocean current. The player starts only with a hook that they can aim and throw to catch barrels, wood, palm fronds, plastic, crates, and other objects out of the water. With the latter, the server is automatically provided by the game and the game takes place in co-op mode.Īfter a world is created, the player starts on a 2x2 raft in the middle of an ocean. The game is played from the first-person and third-person perspective and can be played either in the single-player or multiplayer mode. Player on a pre-built raft in stormy weather
