The first chapter of the story, in which players will start to uncover why the world is covered in water, was released late last year, and the second chapter is due to come out this fall. "Raft" is currently in Early Access on Steam, although it has been there for a while. There's an actual storyline, too, although it doesn't begin until the player has acquired enough technology and resources to craft a radio receiver and three antennas. The true reward of islands, though, lies beneath the water, where seaweed and deposits of ores can be found - provided you've found a way to distract the maneater that's still hunting you. Collect enough resources, and a sail and anchor can be built, allowing for a temporary stopover to harvest rare resources, such as seeds and fruits.
As you drift along, you'll notice the occasional island pop into view on the horizon. The game does get deeper and more complex, however. Every few minutes, the shark attacks a section of the raft and must be fought off. Food, such as herring caught with a fishing pole, or potatoes found in drifting barrels, must be grilled. Each day brings a set of tasks required to survive until the next dawn. It sounds terrifying, but "Raft" is also quite calming and wholesome.
