Made with love in Norway 

Adrift is a survival adventure set on a hostile, flooded ocean world after a global catastrophe.
Stranded at sea, you build a life on a drifting vessel, facing hunger, thirst, violent weather, and the constant struggle to stay afloat.

The ocean is not your backdrop — it is your greatest threat.

Survive the Elements

In Adrift, nature itself is dangerous.
Storms can tear apart structures. What you build must endure wind, rain, and the open sea — or be repaired when it inevitably fails. If the ocean won't get you, the cold or heat will. As the norwegian saying goes, "det finnes ikke dårlige klær, bare dårlig vær", there is nothing like bad weather, only bad clothes. Craft or find clothes and equipment that will help you battle the climate and weather system.

Survival means preparation, maintenance, and hard choices.

Character Creation

There is something special with playing with your own custom character, so that was a given to create. You can use sliders to adjust gender and physique. There are stylish beards, hair styles and colors to choose from, who are you going to be? If you are in a multiplayer lobby, the changes will be live, so you can see what your team mates are making in real time.

Skill-tree

Everything you do will earn you experience in a certain skillset, and the game balances solo-play and coop. Are you playing alone, more xp can be earned so you can upgrade, but when playing Coop, it will be more important to choose a role. Will you be a better archer, harvest more meat and hide from animals as a hunter, or will you be a gatherer who balances hunger and thirst better, farms faster and get more items from every chop? Will you be a base builder and care taker of the boat, build farms and be the support your team will need, or will you be a crafter who upgrades the equipment and makes the survival a bit easier? Each skill-tree ends with an passive aura buff that benefit everyone in your proximity. 

Build a Floating Home With Your Friends

Your vessel is more than transportation — it is your home and your community.
Build shelters, workshops, storage, and farms. Upgrade materials from crude wood to durable metal as your technology improves. Choices will matter, will you abandon your home for a bigger barge with more space? Size vs. speed, form over function, it is up to you.

As your journey progresses, your floating base can grow from a fragile refuge into a resilient stronghold.

Journey Between Islands

Explore a vast ocean scattered with small resource islands and large story-driven locations.
Each island offers new opportunities, dangers, and secrets, pushing you further into the world’s history and mysteries. 

Form a Living Micro‑Society

Along your journey, you may encounter survivors willing to join your floating community.
Each person brings specific skills — fishing, maintenance, organization — and must be given a place and a role aboard your vessel.

NPCs integrate into your systems, helping reduce repetition without replacing player agency.

You will also meet survivors who has formed factions, they are travelers, merchants or just people who want to live on an island and be left alone. Build reputation, get to know their stories and unlock better items and equipment.

Progress Through Systems, Not Shortcuts

Automation and quality-of-life improvements are earned gradually.
Early survival is manual and demanding. Later, smarter systems and modular upgrades allow smoother production, storage, and crafting — if you build for it. 

Distinct From the Crowd

Adrift is inspired by survival games at sea, but it is not a sandbox without consequence.
It mixes a stylized world with realism, atmosphere, and progression — where heavy vessels move slowly, storms are feared, and every upgrade feels earned.
