You can only see and join games hosted by your Steam Friends. If you don't have Steam Friends who own the game or are actively playing right now, there are plenty of other people looking people to play with in Looking For Group sub forum.

The developers are aware of issues in Tangaroa while playing in offline mode and are looking into it:

Thanks for the warning. Fortunately I've already completed Targaroa, but I might head back someday.

I play this as a single-player game. The only thing being online does for me is unlocking Steam achievements. Other than that, there is no need to allow this game anywhere near my internet connection. I see no need to attract spyware, adware, ransomware, internet trackers, excess usage of my data plan, and forth.

I managed fine

This was very annoying, thought my game got corrupted. a similar bug exists in Scrap Mechanic that prevents you from loading single player unless online while the game loads.

It makes no sense to me as both someone who plays video games and is learning how to make them.

Why would you tie a game mechanic to the internet when it doesnt have to be? It makes zero sense on why, out of all the possible pieces of code, this one is somehow tied to a network.
