The Flame In The Flood

I'm very sad. I've been playing this game since its release on PlayStation because of a Saudi YouTuber. I was truly captivated by the art style, music, and the very interesting concept of the game. The flood reminds me of the Moomins anime. The game is full of potential, and my sadness stems from the fact that the developers abandoned it. I wish they would make some fixes and improvements. The developers have really beautiful and interesting ideas, but I see them abandoning their games and not giving them enough support.

I have many hours unaccounted for on the Switch from 2017.
This is a game I regularly come back to for its Endless mode.
For a playthrough of the Story: Lovely ♥
A bleak & empty world yet eerily cozy for this reason with a unique & almost word-less story-telling.

Embarking on a journey of rafting survival, accompanied by a dog, I learned the preciousness of water. Well, it might actually be a bag shaped like a dog. :P
한 사람과 한 마리의 살아남기.

This is one of those games i wish there was a middle option. This game is amazingly charming with and incredible soundtrack and when this game works it's stunning... When it works. I encountered numerous bugs through out this game that frustrated me but they where not game breaking, until. Half way through the campaign i ran into a dead end. This was a game breaking bug. I couldn't go round it so i died and restarted the area, loosing around 45 minutes of progress as well as my items from a few boss style enemies only to be met with a different map and the same bug. Meaning i would have to restart and loose 4 hours of progress on a well equipped character. Still recommend as this is a good game and many have completed it but after experiencing this bug and knowing that it can happen i don't think i'll be revisiting this game.

Nothing earth shattering but for the most part a nice little game. The art style is lovely, giving off a mixture of Coraline and Psychonauts and it's sound track is quite fitting and enjoyable. The only issue I have with Flame in the the Flood is that the camera could use some work as more than often you'll crash into something while rafting that wasn't able to be seen thanks to the camera position.

This game has great bones and the story mode is solid; it just sucks that it's been abandoned. There's so many little bug fixes and quality of life changes that it desperately needs. That said, I still love the game and still play it, but it's occasionally a very frustrating experience.

The art direction is charmingly crooked with incredible theme thanks to soundtrack crafted by Chuck Ragan of "Hot Water Music" that helps immerse you in old Americana. The strong art style + sound carries it far to set it apart but the gameplay itself is classic survival.
The controls take getting used to, somewhere between odd and annoying to plain frustrating. There are still occasional bug and glitches. Boars are the bane of my existence.
The worst part of all, a bug that sometimes stops music from playing entirely with no real solution except wait or turn the game on and off. Takes away a lot of the atmosphere.
I still enjoyed the game despite its flaws.
