About This Game

River Runners is a cooperative multiplayer adventure where you and up to 3 friends must work together to survive a dangerous, ever-changing river. Each player occupies a single seat in the raft, controlling a paddle on their side. Only by paddling in sync can you effectively steer and stay on course. Communication is vital as you react to sudden obstacles, sharp turns, and unexpected events.

The river grows more dangerous as daylight fades. Time is a limited resource, and as the sun sets, visibility drops, making it harder to spot threats ahead. Along the journey, collect resources to purchase useful items and upgrades that improve your chances of survival. But beware—colliding with obstacles can damage the raft, tearing holes that must be patched quickly before it loses air. Strong teamwork, quick decisions, and clear communication are the key to making it to the end.

Work Together

Maneuvering the raft is not a one person job, everyone in the raft needs to coordinate to avoid obstacles and collect loot.  Clear communication and quick decisions are essential.

Avoid Crashing

Bumping into terrain and other obstacles floating in the river can puncture holes in the raft.

Patch Holes

Holes in the raft drain its air, too many holes for too long will sink your crew.

Collect Money

Collect chests floating in the river to turn in for money once you reach base camp.

Purchase Items

Purchase different items with the money you've collected at the start of each day to aid your team in their next day on the river, each one is harder than the last.

Have Fun

Explore the different twists, turns, and challenges that each leg of the river throws at you and your crew.
