Raft

Raft floated into the house in 2022 and we were immediately drawn to what Redbeet Interactive had built. This wasn't some flash-in-the-pan itch.io prototype—they'd been developing for years, and the Final Chapter update represented their most ambitious work yet. Voice acting, new destinations, trading systems, story conclusion to everything they'd been building. We streamed co-op sessions where the house watched teams of one to eight players trying to survive an infinite ocean, scrounging wreckage to expand their floating bases from tiny rafts to absolute mansions. The resource management loop was satisfying—every plank you fished out of the water meant your base could grow, and the farming system added another layer of planning. Those man-eating sharks weren't just environmental hazards; they were consequences. We put 26.5 hours into Raft in 2022, watching audiences who'd followed the game through early access finally see the complete vision realized.

We streamed Raft for 26.5 hours in 2022, pulling 6,812.8 total hours watched with an average of 258 viewers and a peak of 330. The numbers reflected a solid, engaged audience—people who understood what Redbeet had accomplished with this ocean survival game. Steam reviews hit 'Very Positive' with over 124,000 users validating the experience we were streaming.
