Flotsam Guide & Database for Version 1.0

What you actually do

You sail a scrap town, pull wreckage out of the water, rescue drifters, and research the next workshop. Steam tags it Base Building, Colony Sim, City Builder and Survival. Stray Fawn Publishing ships the current version. Wikipedia records an earlier Kongregate release during Early Access, which began 26 Sep 2019.

The 1.0 news post adds a full story, four specialists (Chemist, Electrician, Birdkeeper, Aquaculturist), radio signals, the Industry region, the Polluted Woods, an upgrade pass and 42 achievements. There is no browser build on the itch.io page, which calls it a downloadable Windows game.

Where to start

Buy it from Steam, GOG, itch.io, or claim the Epic copy only while that store still marks it free. The picture above opens the download page because I could not find a legal page that embeds the game. After install, the beginner guide covers the first two hours: recycler, drying racks, water, then a fishing boat.

Numbers I am willing to print today: Steam US price $24.99, itch.io lists $25 USD and includes a Steam key. The GOG price is omitted because its currency could not be identified. Epic was marked Free Now on 7 Nov 2026, with IGN listing 12 Nov, 4Gamer listing 13 Nov 01:00, and an Epic store reading of 13 Nov 00:00. Each source’s clock stays labelled.
