Getting eight friends to work together is difficult enough, but Oar’some Adventures throws them into the same raft and sends them down a river filled with rapids, wildlife and plenty of opportunities for things to go wrong.
Developed by Haymaker Games, the game supports between one and eight players and tasks everyone with working together to navigate rivers filled with rapids, rocks and other hazards. Players need to coordinate their paddling to steer effectively, with mistakes potentially damaging both the raft and its occupants.
The adventure takes place across a large river system with branching routes, allowing groups to choose different paths as they travel. Along the way, players can discover landmarks, encounter wildlife and take on cooperative puzzles and challenges.
Wildlife can be friendly or hostile, while limited equipment and supplies add another layer to the journey. Keeping the raft intact and making smart use of available items will be important if the group wants to successfully reach civilisation.
Oar’some Adventures combines relaxing exploration with unpredictable co-op gameplay, with much of the challenge coming from getting an entire group to paddle, steer and make decisions together.
Oar’some Adventures is currently listed as coming soon on Steam. A playable demo is available now for players who want to try the co-op rafting adventure ahead of its full release.
