## About Flotsam

Flotsam is a strategy and simulation game developed by Pajama Llama Games and published by Stray Fawn Publishing, set in a flooded post-apocalyptic world where players build and manage a floating colony. Released in 2025 at $24.99, the game features automated-construction systems, mobile-base-management, resource-gathering, and a pollution-system as core mechanics. Players captain their drifters across garbage-filled seas to scavenge, rescue survivors, and explore soaked ruins and rusting factories from the old world. Reviewers highlight the unique art style and how tactical positioning matters during gameplay, while players describe the experience as atmospheric, immersive, and relaxing. Verified on Steam Deck, the title holds an 84 percent positive rating from 1,873 Steam reviews.
