Updated on Nov. 4, 2026 in Environmental
Indie developer eelDev revealed Just Us, a two-player co-op survival crafting game, for Steam. Players take on the roles of a couple surviving on a remote island in Sweden after global warming and rising oceans have covered most of the planet with water.
Why it matters
The reveal adds a cooperative survival title to the Steam catalog, letting interested players track the game through its wish list ahead of launch. The game's focus on two players working together in a flooded world reflects a broader interest in cooperative survival design.
The only quantitative detail disclosed is the two-player co-op format, with no figures on pricing, sales, or player counts. The developer has not yet confirmed a release date, so the full scope of the project remains undetermined.

An indie game developer that created Just Us, a two-player co-op survival crafting game set on a remote Swedish island.
The details
Just Us features animal breeding, a dynamic weather system that can shift from sunny days to snowstorms or thunderstorms without warning, crafting, farming and greenhouses, vehicles, fishing, cooking, resource gathering, and weapons and combat. Players manage food sources ranging from breedable animals to crops and medicinal herbs grown in greenhouses, and can access boats to travel to new islands.
Timeline
Published November 4, 2026: Just Us officially revealed for Steam
Future date not yet specified: Just Us planned for early access launch on Steam
Big Picture
Just Us joins a steady stream of independent survival games launched through Steam's early access program, where developers build audiences before a full release. Its two-player cooperative structure places it within a smaller subset of survival titles that prioritize teamwork over solo play.
Players interested in Just Us can add the game to their Steam wish list now to be notified when it becomes available. Because no release date has been set, buyers should wait for an official launch announcement before planning a purchase.
The takeaway
Cooperative survival games ask two players to depend on each other, and Just Us puts that dependence at the center of a flooded, unpredictable world. Interested players can follow its progress on Steam's wish list as the early access launch approaches.
