How AI is used
Some 3D models (characters, sea creatures and ships) were generated with AI tools and then edited, retopologized and textured by our team. Parts of the store page text were drafted with AI assistance and reviewed by the developer. The game does not generate any AI content live during gameplay.

About P.A.L.S: Lost at Sea
One wild night. One raft. No idea where we are.
P.A.L.S: Lost at Sea is a chaotic co-op raft adventure. A group of friends headed out to party at sea – and after one very, very big night, they wake up hungover in the middle of nowhere, with nothing but a tiny raft, a few fishing rods and terrible teamwork. Fish up whatever floats by, grow your raft into a fortress, and sail across a seamless ocean past bigger islands, nastier weather and the most ridiculous bosses the sea has ever seen – all on the long, messy way back home.
Fish for everything
Cast your line and see what bites: fish, scrap, wood, weapons and plenty of junk. Big catches don't go quietly – they flop, thrash and bounce all over the deck. Smack them with your paddle before they slip back into the sea.
Build your floating fortress
Expand your raft plank by plank, raise walls, mount cannons and upgrade your engine. One crewmate steers from the back while the others defend, fish and argue about where to go next.
The ocean fights back
- A hungry shark stalks your raft, biting the edges and tearing down your defenses.
- Storms and tornadoes rock the waves and can fling your whole raft into the sky.
- Whirlpools guard the border of every region and will happily swallow careless crews.
- A living world with a full day–night cycle and random weather.
Absurd bosses, bigger engines
Each region is ruled by a boss, from a giant crab to a ghost ship crewed by zombies rising from the deep. Defeat them to earn stronger engines and get one step closer to home.
Make it yours
- Create your castaway: pick hairstyles and outfits, choose colors and patterns, or draw your own clothes.
- Ride frogs across the islands – they hop, swim and let you shoot from the saddle.
- Strap on a jetpack, grab your binoculars and scout the horizon.
- Meet up with your friends on a party boat before setting sail.
Grab your pals. Find your way home. Try not to fall overboard.
