The Flame in The Flood is a "bleak but beautiful rogue-lite" in which players step into the shoes of a survivor named Scout and sail across a hazardous, procedurally generated river, with the help of her canine friend, Aesop. It will be necessary to make regular pit-stops at the numerous islands you discover in order to hunt wild beasts and forage for food, as well as scavenge any useful materials that can be used to make traps or upgrade your makeshift raft.

Scout's energy, hunger, thirst and warmth must all be managed or death will come quickly.

Forrest Dowling, Lead Designer, thinks it's a perfect fit for the portable console, stating: "Like Scout’s journey of survival, players will be able to shape their story wherever they see fit, be it on the couch, the bus, or even on a boat gently meandering down the Mississippi river.”

“Survival is a tough and draining affair. One lapse in concentration can cause death,” said Simon Byron, Publishing Director at Curve Digital. “That’s why we’re so excited about the Nintendo Switch version of The Flame In The Flood. With the portability of the console, players can survive in short bursts and maintain much needed dedication to the task of living.”

The Flame in The Flood is out now for Xbox One, PS4 and PC and hits the eShop for Nintendo Switch 12 October.
