Just recently Curve Digital confirmed two games that it’s bringing to the Switch eShop, including The Flame in the Flood (developed by The Molasses Flood). Pleasingly a press release has now confirmed that it’ll arrive next week (12th October), so we’ll get a chance to put it to the test.
You can see the Switch trailer and some blurb below.
The Flame In The Flood is a bleak but beautiful rogue-lite set upon a treacherous, procedurally generated river. With the help of your trusty dog, Aesop, The Flame In The Flood tasks you to make the most of your surroundings by foraging, hunting and scavenging your way through nature and the remains of society. With an evocative, homespun art-style and lilting, original soundtrack by Chuck Ragan, survival has never been this enjoyable.
It seems like quite a challenging game based upon comments from those that have played it elsewhere. Not only do you need to stay safe on the river but also make landfall and find vital resources; nature is rather cruel in the process.
Are you planning to venture into ‘post-societal America’ in this title?
