What Raft is

Raft is an adventure game developed by Redbeet Interactive and released in 2022. It was published by Axolot Games. It is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Microsoft Windows). It runs on Unity.

The premise, in the publisher's words

Trapped on a small raft with nothing but a hook made of old plastic, players awake on a vast, blue ocean totally alone and with no land in sight! With a dry throat and an empty stomach, survival will not be easy! Resources are tough to come by at sea: Players will have to make sure to catch whatever debris floats by using their trusty hook and when possible, scavenge the reefs beneath the waves and the islands above. However, thirst and hunger is not the only danger in the ocean… watch out for the man-eating shark determined to end your voyage!
