About the Game

Tidewood is an open-world survival crafting game set across an endless world of oceans, islands, continents, and changing biomes. Begin with nothing, gather whatever you can find, and build a new life on land or out at sea.

Collect sticks, stone, wood, ore, and other natural resources to craft tools, weapons, equipment, and building materials. Start with simple stone tools, then upgrade to stronger equipment as you explore farther and uncover better resources.

SURVIVE ON LAND AND AT SEA

Manage your hunger and thirst while searching for food, fresh water, and materials. Fish, farm, swim, and explore the world, but stay alert. Sharks patrol beneath the waves, while slimes and other dangerous creatures emerge after nightfall.

BUILD YOUR WAY

Construct a home on land or create a floating base on the ocean. Begin with a small raft and gradually expand it with floors, walls, roofs, storage, crafting stations, and everything needed to survive.

Whether you build a quiet coastal shelter, a large inland settlement, or a mobile home on the water, the choice is yours.

CRAFT AND UPGRADE

Turn gathered resources into useful survival equipment. Craft axes for chopping trees, pickaxes for breaking stone and ore, bows for defending yourself, building hammers for construction, and upgraded metal tools that make gathering faster and more efficient.

EXPLORE AN ENDLESS WORLD

Travel across a procedural generated world filled with open oceans, large landmasses, different environments, wildlife, resources, and hidden dangers. Each journey offers new places to settle, new materials to collect, and new challenges to overcome.

FACE THE DANGERS OF THE WILD

The world changes when the sun goes down. Defend your base from hostile creatures, fight enemies on land and underwater, and prepare yourself before venturing into unfamiliar territory.

PLAY ALONE OR WITH FRIENDS

Survive by yourself or work together with your friends. Gather resources, explore distant lands, fight dangerous creatures, and build a shared home with your friends.
