Games Like Flotsam
If you want the floating-town loop with combat or co-op, look at Raft, Sunkenland, Stranded Deep, Len’s Island or Tidewrack. Flotsam is the one that stays a single-player colony sim.

A comparison, not a ranking
I picked five games because their Steam pages sit near this fantasy: a craft on the water, or a base you grow. I am not claiming a 2026 magazine crowned them. Prices are the US Steam figures I read with the store data on 7 Nov 2026.
| Game | Release | US price | How it differs | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Raft | 20 Jun 2022 | $19.99 | First-person raft, co-op, sharks and a story | 1 source: its Steam listing |
| Sunkenland | 25 Aug 2023, Early Access | $19.99 | Waterworld bases, combat and raiding | 1 source: its Steam listing |
| Stranded Deep | 10 Aug 2022 | $19.99 | Harsher first-person island survival | 1 source: its Steam listing |
| Len’s Island | 19 Jun 2025 | $24.99 | One to eight players, combat plus farming | 1 source: its Steam listing |
| Tidewrack | 31 Aug 2026 | $9.99 | Smaller: haul driftwood until the raft is a town | 1 source: its Steam listing |
| Flotsam | 4 Dec 2025 (Steam) | $24.99 | You set priorities. You do not play one body | 1 source: its Steam listing |
Which itch matches which game
Want a friend in the same session: Raft or Len’s Island. Want to fight: Sunkenland. Want thirst and crafting to hurt: Stranded Deep. Want a cheaper taste of “raft becomes town”: Tidewrack. Want to stay in the management chair, single-player, no avatar to steer: stay with Flotsam. Low-spec players should read each store’s own requirements. I am not copying five spec blocks I did not re-check line by line.
Lower memory and storage requirements
Tidewrack has the lowest published RAM minimum in this selection at 4 GB; Raft lists 6 GB, while the other three alternatives list 8 GB. These are storefront requirements, not measured frame-rate results. GPU requirements still matter, and Steam’s client currently requires Windows 10 or later even where an older game OS field says Windows 7.
| Game | RAM | Available storage | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Raft | 6 GB | 10 GB | 1 source |
| Sunkenland | 8 GB | — (not listed) | 1 source |
| Stranded Deep | 8 GB | 4 GB | 1 source |
| Len’s Island | 8 GB | 8 GB | 1 source |
| Tidewrack | 4 GB | 2 GB | 1 source |
| Flotsam | 8 GB | 600 MB | 1 source |
