The Flood is a short, linear journey on a river during a flood. You pilot a small boat downstream as the water carries you toward the end of the route.
Steer the boat around obstacles and debris along the way. The main activity is guiding its slow passage through the river rather than tackling complex challenges.
As you travel, scenery passes by and lines of reflective text appear on screen, accompanied by music. The experience is designed to unfold in a few minutes, from setting off to reaching the end of the river.
Players who enjoy The Flood often value it as a brief, calming pause, and some appreciate the music, scenery, or reflective lines. Others find the journey too sparse, the text unconvincing, or the experience too short to leave an impression, so reactions to its quiet approach are mixed.

I developed this game alone during a course of 3-4 months. Whole project started when I was experimenting with environment design and it has slowly transformed into this short metaphorical journey which I decided to share with you. Working on this project was a very interesting and rewarding experience that has taught me a lot and pushed my limits.
I understand that this game is quite unusual and it may not fit everyone's style but hopefully there are some of you who will enjoy this journey and find themselves in it.
Enjoy!
