## Gameplay

Floodland is a city-building game, where players control a colony of people attempting to survive in a world consumed by flooding caused by climate change.[3] The player can choose between four different types of "clans", which all have their own unique advantages and outlooks on life.[1] The settlers that the player has can be assigned to construct buildings, collect resources, and perform expeditions for supplies.[3][4] As the player progresses, they can encounter other clans that have different worldviews and priorities than their own people. The player must introduce laws to ensure amicable relations between clans,[4] and prevent hostility, which can cause crime and unrest.[3] Stores of food and water must be managed by the player as they research new technologies and create relationships between clans.[1]
