The Flame In The Flood is an upcoming roguelike video game developed by The Molasses Flood. The game is being developed for Microsoft Windows, OS X, and Xbox One.

Gameplay

The only companion that the player will have will be a dog called Aesop, who can sense danger and fetch supplies. The player must pay attention to Scout's needs such as his energy, thirst, and warmth, and not paying attention to them can result in death. Once the player dies, the death cannot be undone. There will be a crafting system allowing the payer to create new items. They will also need to scavenge areas for valuable items. Factors such as the weather will impact the gameplay. The player will be able to create insulated clothing to protect them from the cold.[1] One of the developers refereed to it as a "travelling survival game".[2]

Plot

A man must try to survive in the harsh wilderness in a world where nature takes control.

Development

The game is being developed by a team of people who previously worked on BioShock, Halo 2, and Rock Band.[1] It had a successful crowdfunding campaign, reaching it $251,000 of a $100,000 goal. Chuck Ragan composed the soundtrack.[3]
