Raft® Survival - Ocean Nomad
Ocean survivaliPhone · iPad · Android
Alone on a raft in an endless ocean. The ocean is your home, sharks are your neighbours and a few planks of wood are all that keeps you alive. Hook drifting wreckage, expand your raft floor by floor, craft what you need and swim out to the islands — while something circles beneath you.
How it plays
The loop: hook, craft, expand, explore
Ocean Nomad runs on one loop, and everything else hangs off it: take what the sea brings you, turn it into something better, make the raft bigger, then risk leaving it. The loop tightens as you go — a bigger raft needs more upkeep, and the further you swim, the more there is between you and the way back.
Hook what drifts past
You start with a hook and a raft barely worth the name. Planks, barrels and chests float by on the current, and every one of them is a decision: reach for it now, or wait for something better. Nothing on the water is free — leaning out over the edge is how most first runs end.
Craft what the sea will not give you
Raw material is not survival. At the crafting station you turn salvage into tools, weapons, clothing and the gear that keeps hunger, thirst and health from closing in. Cooking and collecting drinking water are jobs you come back to constantly, not one-time unlocks.
Expand the raft floor by floor
Every new plank is more room for stations, storage and walls — and more surface for something to bite. A raft that grew carefully looks nothing like one that grew fast, and both of them are yours to defend.
Swim out to the islands
Pacific islands, reefs and trenches generate fresh every run. They hold the resources the open water never gives you and the thread of the quest line, but reaching them means being in the water — which is where the sharks have the advantage.
Get through the night
The day-night cycle and the weather are not decoration. Calm turns deadly, visibility drops, and attacks come at the raft you spent all day building. Keeping a spear close at sundown is a habit the ocean teaches quickly.

The world
Open-world ocean survival
Ocean Nomad is an open-world raft survival simulator: an apocalyptic world where people are destined to live on the water, and the only ground is the one you build. Every run generates a new ocean — Pacific islands, reefs and bottomless trenches — with a day-night cycle and weather that turns from calm to deadly. Exploration is the point: the raft is your base, your farm and your fortress, but what you need is always somewhere out there. Watch hunger, thirst and health, cook, collect drinking water and keep a spear close when night falls.
No connection needed
An offline raft survival game on Android
On Android, Ocean Nomad runs without a connection — the official Google Play listing says you can play with no wifi or internet. The whole loop works the same way on a plane, on the underground or anywhere the signal drops: the ocean still generates, wreckage still drifts past, the sharks still come at night. Only sharing your results with friends needs to go online.
On iPhone and iPad we deliberately make no offline claim. The App Store listing does not state it, and every fact on this site has to be traceable to a store page — so until that changes, the honest answer for iOS is “not confirmed”, not “probably yes”. Ask support if you need certainty for a specific device before you download.

Questions
Ocean Nomad questions, answered
Can I play Ocean Nomad offline without Wi-Fi?
On Android, yes — the official Google Play listing says you can play with no wifi or internet connection. On iPhone and iPad we do not claim offline play: the App Store listing does not state it, and we only publish what the store confirms. Sharing your results with friends needs a connection on any device.
Can I play Ocean Nomad with friends?
No — Ocean Nomad is a single-player game. If you want to build one raft with other people, that is a different title in the series: Raft® Survival: Multiplayer.
How do you get resources in the middle of the ocean?
You throw a hook at what floats past — planks, barrels and chests drift within reach on the current. Islands add the rest: you swim out, gather what is there and swim back before something notices you.
What do the sharks actually do?
They circle the raft and attack it, and they attack you in the water. Keeping a weapon crafted and repaired is part of the survival loop, not an optional extra.
Is Ocean Nomad free?
It is free to download from the App Store and Google Play. The listing also shows in-app purchases and ads.
What do I need to play Ocean Nomad?
It runs on iPhone and iPad running iOS 13.0 or later and on Android devices through Google Play.
Can I play Ocean Nomad on iPad?
Yes. The App Store lists it as compatible with iPad — it runs on iPadOS 13.0 or later, with the same download from the same App Store page.
What age rating does Ocean Nomad have?
The stores rate it 9+ on the App Store and Everyone 10+ on Google Play. Ratings are set by the stores, not by us.
Is Ocean Nomad still being updated?
Yes — the most recent update on the official listings is dated 2 July 2026 (version 2.9.3 on iOS).
Who makes Ocean Nomad?
Survival Games Ltd, a mobile game studio registered in the United Kingdom. We develop and publish it ourselves on both stores — more about the studio.
