Description

About the Game

Aloft is a warmhearted, laid-back survival experience set among the clouds, where any island can be transformed into a fully navigable flying vessel to traverse the endless skies.

Chart your course through an expansive world, stumble upon uncharted islands, harvest valuable resources, construct the home you've always envisioned, and tend to your animals — all either on your own or alongside a crew of up to 8 players.

Beneath the breathtaking beauty of the skies, however, a sinister corruption quietly takes hold. Confront and eradicate the creeping fungi threat consuming all living things in its path. Piece together forgotten knowledge, concoct powerful remedies, rebuild the biodiversity of ravaged islands, and bring harmony back to the sky-bound ecosystem.

Aloft's uplifting take on survival centers on celebrating progress rather than penalizing failure.

The heavens above offer everything required to thrive — whip up satisfying meals that grant helpful buffs, collect materials to forge essential tools, and push your boundaries to unearth new technologies. Glide freely through open skies and delve into ancient ruins filled with mysteries from a long-forgotten age.

Command the open skies across a sprawling sandbox world and convert any island into your very own skyship.

Shape and personalize it into a place truly worth calling home. Construct a helm, rudder, and sails, and you'll be ready to harness the winds and set off on an aerial voyage. Every journey is yours to captain!

In Aloft, the wind is a constant and powerful companion.

Set up windmills alongside an intricate network of cables and pulleys to keep your machines and production lines running automatically. Seek out powerful gusts to accelerate both your crafting output and sailing velocity — just be certain your sails are up to the challenge.

Every island harbors its own thriving ecosystem, one that is fragile against reckless harvesting and the encroaching fungi corruption.

Seek out corrupted islands and cleanse them by engaging and defeating mushroom creatures in battle. Brew restorative antidotes to heal afflicted animals and guide islands back to a flourishing state. Reviving an island's biodiversity unlocks rare new resources and strengthens its natural defenses against future corruption.

Gather seeds and animals throughout your travels and bring them home to your island sanctuary.

Cultivate a thriving garden with a wide variety of crops to prepare mouthwatering dishes, and nurture the most endearing animals to earn rare and valuable resources. Tend to their every need to forge a genuine bond — and they just might stand by your side when danger arrives.

Creative freedom is woven into the very core of Aloft, whether you prefer a tranquil solo adventure or a shared experience with up to 7 additional players.

Bring your entire island base along when entering another player's world, and together build a thriving village of sky-faring adventurers. Leverage the built-in island creator to bring any vision to life, then share your creations with the wider community to populate their own worlds.

Forge the sky island of your dreams, push back against the corruption, revive natural balance, and unleash your imagination across the boundless heavens of Aloft.

We'll see you among the clouds!

This might not be an issue for most people but for me it kinda spoiled the game. The Islands are tiny. I know, you can't exactly expect to turn an entire continent into a flying ship, but that doesn't mean EVERY island

I love this cozy game. While the complaints ARE true, there is not that many things to do, each of those things is extremely lovely. Don't expect some grand immersive experience. This isn't Breath of the Wild. This is a

Casual, relaxing game. Would rate higher, but it does two things I hate: there are far more tools than there are tool slots on your hotbar, so you constantly have to manually swap tools on tool bar... and unless you are

Sadly, this game runs very poorly on my PC with my current rig. I played with the lowest settings and roughly had around 45-59 fps. I refunded the game because i know it will be even more demanding as i progress further

This is a game about survival—but the kind of survival you experience on a sunny morning with a cup of hot chocolate in hand, as you try to enjoy the sun’s rays gently brushing your face while wearing pajama bottoms and

First and foremost an extremely fun game. Lots to do, fun to explore, islands are a bit small but that's to be expected. Game is still in early access so there are bugs (my sheep keep flying off my island) and it's
