About the Game

Update 1.2 – NEW TIDE


Floodland has been relaunched with a complete code overhaul fixing all major reported bugs, PLUS some awesome new content, leaving you with a new world ready to build!
As well as core fixes, we’ve also introduced three new starting islands, bringing the total to four. These will randomly spawn when you start the game, making each experience different.
As you progress through the resource tree you’ll also find a new building - the Mushroom Picker Hut is the perfect way to continue develop you food supply.
There’s more! Law system updates, 10 new events, a new achievement on steam and 8 new clans all come to this game overhaul.

Dive in and start building your post apocalyptic worlds!

Unite Humanity - Shape Society

The climate change was a catalyst for a succession of events that led to the destruction of our world; rising sea levels have inundated the coasts. Only you can help humanity survive by leading your band of survivors on a path to redemption. Starting with a lost bunch of survivors, you need to scavenge resources, rediscover technology and maintain the peace between differing factions as you strive to rebuild society.

Explore and Exploit

The world - as you know it - has gone, replaced by islands, swamps and isolated groups of survivors. Gathering scarce resources, you need to explore the world - island by island - helping those you can and dealing with those who do not share your vision of the future.

Grow Your Colony

There's more to a city than just people. Food, shelter, water, health, security - the list is long and varied. Technology to be researched along a branching Tech-Tree, buildings upgraded and specialists to train. It's down to you to make sure all these needs are fulfilled; a job made all the harder with limited resources, space and labour to complete these tasks.

You Are the Law

A society is only as good as its laws; it's up to you to define them. Will you usher in a new utopian age of equality or is your future a benign dictatorship? Not every group shares your vision and the choices you make can have a profound impact on the future of your settlement. A common goal will make your society more productive than one at loggerheads with itself; you need to define and choose your legal evolution and which route to follow on the Law-Tree but - as with all things - there are always consequences.

Unlimited Playthroughs

Each game is different; maps, events and make up of the world are randomly generated, allowing unique playthroughs every time.
