A survival city-builder

Build a home
above the tide.

When the sea wall breaks, six of you escape Makoko in a boat called Hope. Beyond the drowned rooftops, a light is still burning.

Leaving Makoko

Someone is waving
from the roof.

You spot six people on the roof of a flooded school.

You’ve found a crate of supplies, but Hope is already crowded. Everyone moves a little closer, and you help the others aboard.

Then Musa recognises a naval signal through the haze. You follow the light past the last rooftops, looking for somewhere all of you can stay.

Follow the light

Aboard NNS Ekó

You’ve found
somewhere to stay.

NNS Ekó is still afloat, and her diesel still runs. You bring everyone aboard and start clearing a place to sleep.

01

The first night aboard

The carrier is full of wreckage. You clear a section of deck for shelter, then get to work on fresh water and food. With each repair, another part of the ship becomes usable.

SHELTER
02

Another boat comes back

Your crew returns from Lagos with scrap and supplies. Sometimes they bring people, too. You find room for them, build more homes, and send the boat out again.

RESCUE
03

The weather turns

A squall rolls in while the hull still needs repairs. At night, pirates and the drowned come for the ship. The homes you’ve built need food, water and protection, and there’s only so much your crew can do at once.

SURVIVAL
04

A voice on the radio

Then the radio picks up another voice. Other captains are building settlements along the coast. You visit their ships and trade supplies; when you have enough to spare, you can help another crew through a hard day.
