Flame in the Flood is a survival adventure game in which the player will wander through procedurally generated levels, exploring the slums of the United States, where the blessings of civilization have only been heard of in secret. Playing as the girl Scout and her faithful dog Aesop, players will have to collect available materials and make all sorts of objects that will help them survive in an unfriendly environment and resist various diseases, ailments and “smart” ecology. The death of a character in the game will be permanent, and therefore each playthrough will be the last for the player.
