The Flame in the Flood is a third-person survival game by The Molasses Flood. It was initially released for Xbox One and PC in 2016, with PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch versions the following year.In a desolate, post-societal America, you are a lone traveler named Scout. One day, a dog (named Aesop) stumbles upon you, dragging with him a backpack with a radio inside. You decide to adopt the dog and follow the radio's signal in the hopes that you will find other humans.What separates this game from others of the survival genre is that, not only must you scavenge for supplies and look after a hunger, thirst, and rest meter, but you explore the world by traversing on a long, winding, and unforgiving river on a makeshift raft that you can upgrade. Said supplies are picked up on little islands in the river that you can dock on. You must also avoid crashing your raft into rocks and cliffs, lest you get too wet or drown. In Endless Mode, the goal is to travel as far down the river as you can without dying.

Wild Child: Scout can encounter a pair of "Feral Children" on the river. Despite their poor grammar and shabby appearance, they seem quite mature and well-adjusted, and even offer Scout free gear (like traps or arrows) while espousing their altruistic worldview.

After the End: The game takes place in a world where civilization has collapsed due to some unspecified disaster (possibly flooding caused by global climate change).

Your Princess Is in Another Castle!: Scout makes it to the "evacuation point" at Angel Yard, only to find it's a space center with only a single, long-defunct space ship left. Her only option left is to keep going down-river and make it to "the Kingdom".

comment
Action Survivor: Scout and apparently Aesop: the two have had to survive on their own before meeting each other, and if you make it to the end of the campaign without dying, this trope is only solidified. Aesop is also presumed lost by his handlers in The Kingdom, so him coming back would certainly be a surprise for them.

Canine Companion: Aesop will follow Scout anywhere that he's able. Unlike most examples, he won't fight, but he will alert Scout to predators almost a full screen away. He also provides extra inventory space, and any items in his pack when you die will be passed on to your next new save. It turns out the people living in the Kingdom have been breeding dogs like Aesop and training them specifically to search for survivors and bring them back.

comment
Bears Are Bad News: Bears are easily the biggest and most dangerous animals Scout will encounter. Fortunately, they really only want to be left alone - give their caves a wide berth, and they're more a threat to other wildlife than to Scout and Aesop. Unfortunately, there's a location that has one bear you have to fight or flee from.

comment
Super-Persistent Predator: Averted by normal wolves, who will only pursue you in a single area and are easily distracted by other animals. Played straight by The Elder Wolf, who will retreat when injured only to return at the very next landing, over and over until killed. He even triggers a task in the journal.

Mundane Luxury: It's been long enough since the floods that a tarp-tent, wood stove and solid framework are considered high-end upgrades for Scout's raft. Cooked meat, of any kind, is described as "the best meal in the wilds."

King Mook: The aptly named King Boar is a boar... who is as big and as tough as a bear. And then there's the White Wolf and Elder Wolf, who aren't any tougher than normal wolves, but are much more cautious and will retreat rather than die to poison or arrows.

Let's You and Him Fight
 The Flame in the Flood (Video Game) / int_c3bdfbb9
comment
Let's You and Him Fight: One of the most efficient ways to eliminate the feral-starved animals is to guide them to fight against each other: Boars have the audacity to try and kill wolves, who obviously see them as running meat. Interestingly, they're more likely to hold each other at a standstill than kill, due to the differences in their attack patterns. Keep them distracted with each other and you can waltz on by or set up traps. Bears hate anything that comes within five yards of their cave. This is the easiest way to kill a pack of wolves - the bear will maul them all and go back to sleep. If you're quick, you can even steal from the bear cave while they're distracted! Snakes deal more damage than arrows to anything that comes nearby, which translates to a venom affliction for you but gratuitous death for the animal stupid enough to paw it. You can use a torch to lure the snakes, but it's easier to just goad the animal into the path of the snake. Side note, you can release a rabbit to lure the predators away, but given the importance of rabbit pelts in high-end crafting, it's not worth it.
