Sometimes the end of the world doesn’t need explosions and despair—it just needs a fishing rod, a rooftop garden, and a few helpful robots. That’s the philosophy behind I Am Future, the belovedly cozy post-apocalyptic survival sim from tinyBuild and developer Mandragora, now available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch.
Originally a standout hit on Steam with over 1,900 user reviews and a “Very Positive” rating, I Am Future makes its console debut inviting players to slow down and thrive after civilization has already washed away. Set in a sunken megacity following a catastrophic global flood, the game trades panic for peace, letting you build a comfortable new life atop an abandoned rooftop.
A Relaxing Take on the Apocalypse
You awaken from cryogenic sleep as the last human on Earth—but instead of fighting for survival, I Am Future encourages you to relax. The world is quiet, colorful, and surprisingly hopeful. Farming, fishing, cooking, crafting, and base-building form the heart of the experience, with gentle progression that rewards curiosity and creativity.
Starting from a bare rooftop, players gradually transform their space into a cozy camp complete with furniture, power grids, automated systems, and decorative flourishes. Nature is reclaiming the world, and you’re free to grow crops, tend trees, and enjoy the simple satisfaction of rebuilding at your own pace.
Robots, Relics, and Rooftop Living
One of I Am Future’s biggest charms is its cast of quirky robot companions. From automated helper bots that manage daily chores to memorable personalities like Earl the Fridge and Bombshell Barbara, the game leans into warmth and humor. You can form relationships with these robotic residents, making the lonely end of humanity feel surprisingly social.
Exploration plays a key role as well. Players send scouting drones across the flooded city to uncover new locations, gather rare materials, and slowly piece together the mystery of what ended the world. Along the way, old-world relics—like microwaves, kettles, and TVs—can be dismantled through a satisfying system that fuels crafting and upgrades.
Packed with Content from PC to Console
The console release includes all content added throughout the game’s PC lifecycle, from its Steam Early Access debut in 2023 to its full 1.0 launch in late 2024. That means console players get access to the complete experience, including:
- A full Story Mode
- Expanded base-building and decoration options
- A dynamic weather system
- Relationship mechanics with robot characters
- Automated workflows using robot minions
- Pest management to protect crops and infrastructure
Fans of cozy life sims like Stardew Valley, Dave the Diver, and Coral Island will feel right at home here.
Pricing, Trials, and Availability
I Am Future is available now on Steam and Steam Deck, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch. To celebrate the console launch, the game is currently priced at $15.99 for a limited time (20% off the standard $19.99).

For players looking to unwind, build something meaningful, and enjoy a hopeful vision of life after the end, I Am Future proves that even a flooded dystopia can feel like home.
