The Flame in the Flood

Included in the ID@Xbox montage during the Microsoft press conference was another quick glimpse of The Flame in the Flood, the first game from the ex-Bioshock Infinite developers that makeup The Molasses Flood. The survival game with rouge-lite elements has players navigating down the rivers of a post-apocalyptic America, battling the elements and their own physical limits on their way to some unknown destination. The colourful art style and acoustic soundtrack look promising as well, and should help take the edge off of a genre dominated by the stressful likes of Don’t Starve and Rust.
