The survival-based town builder is set in a waterlogged world and features moving towns, procedural world generation, and an eclectic group of survivors. Players will manage a floating village community as it sails across an endless ocean. In their fight to survive, they’ll depend on recycled garbage and scrap, used to construct structures that catch fish and create drinkable water. On their journey, they’ll encounter other stranded strangers, dangerous sea animals, and mysterious ruins and wreckages.
As players steer their town and explore the sprawling, dynamic environment, they‘ll uncover tall ruins, underwater cities, and reefs full of sea life and garbage. They’ll have to choose which obstacles to avoid and which to scavenge as they drift through the harsh ocean world. Players will rescue and care for drifters, who transform garbage, driftwood, and flotsam into boats and buildings, allowing them to collect rainwater, hunt for various creatures, and reel up scrap from the expansive sea floor.
Flotsam is coming to Steam Early Access and Kartridge on September 26th, 2019 for Windows PC and Mac.
"Flotsam's theme originated from an animation project one of our founders created, about people living in a flooded world. We took this spark and created a prototype, which eventually grew to become Flotsam," said Juda-Ben Gordier, co-founder at Pajama Llama. "We fell in love with the combination of the setting and gameplay. We all had an urge to create the game, so we did."
“We're beyond excited to be so close to getting Flotsam out into the wild," Josh Larson, Chief Business Officer at Kongregate. "From the very beginning we've been captivated by the game's whimsical charm set on top of a post-apocalyptic world, and are incredibly impressed by the work that Pajama Llama has done to really make an outstanding game.”
Prior to the Early Access release, Pajama Llama will showcase a new, playable demo of Flotsam at Gamescom 2019. The game will be shown at the Indie Arena Booth in hall 10.2.
