Floodland is a single-player strategy and colony-building game set after climate catastrophe has submerged much of the world. You lead a group of survivors seeking to rebuild society among scattered islands and the remnants of the old world.
Explore new areas with expeditions, scavenge scarce materials, and build settlements to provide food, water, shelter, health, and security. Manage workers and resources as you expand, and encounter other groups of survivors along the way.
Research technologies through a branching tree and set laws through a separate law system. Different clans have different preferences, so choices about society can affect their approval and the unity of your settlement. Maps, events, and starting locations vary between playthroughs.
In the supplied reviews, players who enjoyed Floodland often praised its flooded-world premise, exploration, settlement management, and decisions involving different clans. Some also highlighted its visual style and music. Enjoyment was mixed, with several players describing it as engaging for a playthrough while technical problems interrupted or ended their runs.
