The Flame in the Flood 2016
Developed by The Molasses Flood, The Molasses Flood
- Adventure, Indie, Action, Survival
A rogue-lite river journey through the backwaters of a forgotten post-societal America. Forage, craft, evade predators. Travel by foot and by raft down a procedurally-generated river as you scrounge for resources, craft tools, remedy afflictions, evade the vicious wildlife, and most importantly, stay ahead of the coming rains. In a forgotten, post-societal America swallowed by an endless flood, the land has broken apart into scattered islands linked only by a vast, winding river. A young girl named Scout, joined by her loyal dog, sets out downstream on a makeshift raft in search of safety. Their journey carries them through overgrown backwaters and the crumbling remnants of a world left behind. Alone against the wilderness, Scout must endure the elements and the dangers of the river to keep moving forward.
