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.
The Flame In The Flood Brings Hunting & Gathering Tips In New Trailer
With just a week to go before The Flame in the Flood releases through Steam and for Xbox One, its developers have put together a handy new video full of useful survival tips. The Molasses Flood debuted their hunting and gathering tips trailer earlier today, and players will likely be wise to take tips from it before diving into the game next week.

The video details some of the different types of traps that you’ll be able to craft in The Flame in the Flood, and gives pointers as to how best to use them. Simple snare traps can be used to kill small prey like rabbits, whereas a more complex box trap can capture the animal without actually finishing it off.
This latter option becomes incredibly useful when the likes of a starving wolf appears and you find yourself needing to direct its attention away from your own supple, inviting flesh. Of course, that rabbit lure could be even more useful still if you’re able to bait the wolf into an even larger trap, thus removing the danger completely.
You can see the trailer above, and check out our hands-on preview of The Flame in the Flood right here before the game releases on February 24th.
