The Flame in the Flood

Just noticed this game in Steam and a quick watch of the video has got my attention...!

"A rogue-lite river journey through the backwaters of a forgotten post-societal America. Forage, craft, evade predators.

From the Art Director of BioShock and a team of veterans of the BioShock, Halo, Guitar Hero and Rock Band series comes The Flame in the Flood.

Travel by foot and by raft down a procedurally-generated river as you scrounge for resources, craft tools, remedy afflictions, evade the vicious wildlife, and most importantly, stay ahead of the coming rains."

Has anyone played this one and can cast opinion?

It looks great from what I can tell at least!

It looks very pretty and I am intrigued by the premise, but as I'm on my phone I don't want to burn a load of data watching the videos in order to get a better impression of what it's all about.

Not played it....but the video showing the river generation is pretty cool.

Yeh this one seems to have arrived under the radar...

It's at that price point that I may pick it up anyways.

I embedded the video posted above, it does looks rather interesting

Cheers.

There's an article about it on Rock, Paper, Shotgun which has quelled my interest somewhat.

I also saw this this morning and it's caught my interest, I think I'll grab it.

Guys, well worth a buy if you like survival games. Quite tough but very addictive. I have given it a full review on my website and here is a quick demo (one I didn't last long in).
