The player must pay attention to Scout's needs such as her energy, thirst, hunger, and warmth, and not paying attention to them can result in death. Like other roguelikes, death is permanent, although the player can restart at predetermined checkpoints along the river if they are playing in Campaign mode.

About The Flame in the Flood 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, A rogue-lite river journey through the backwaters of a forgotten post-societal America. Forage, craft, evade predators. For PC & Mac. 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 encroaching winter rainstorm. Featuring an original full length soundtrack by acclaimed Alt-Country rocker Chuck Ragan featuring The Camaraderie, The Fearless Kin and other special guests. It was clear the time to move had come when the first rain fell and the cloud mass that spoke of the coming flood rolled south. As the last remaining survivor of Pinewood Girl Scouts Camp, the Scout lashed her few belongings to her Raft and set out for greener pastures and higher ground as the water drowned her cook fire. Just as she was about to leave, The Dog suddenly appeared with a red backpack in its mouth containing a radio which spoke of a way to evacuate the storm for good, a far-fetched ridiculous tale that was her only hope. Her journey would take her through unfamiliar lands of crumbling relics from long ago. It would be a hungry, thirsty, cold, and tiresome trek, with scarce Supplies, cold winds and rain always chasing and weakening her, and hours or even days of constant rafting along the deadly rapids. She would have to build her own supplies from the twigs and cattails and pieces of Scrap she could scrounge, conserve her Food, from meager plants to enriching-but-spoilable meats, for long tracts of barren scrub-land, ration what clean water she could collect for the days ahead, and save herself from all the wounds and maladies the wilderness could throw at her. “Salvation lies at the end of The River,” people say. Scout and her old dog had a long and terrifying journey ahead of them. | Key Features
