The Flame In The Flood is an upcoming roguelike, survival 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 her 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 player 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 referred to it as a "travelling survival game".[2]
Plot
The player must try to survive a river journey through the backwaters of a forgotten post-societal America.
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 $251,647 of a $100,000 goal. Chuck Ragan composed the soundtrack.[3] The game was originally available in beta, to its kickstarter backers, and was released on Steam [4] as an early access game on September 24, 2015.
