Kickstarter: The Flame In The Flood

 

The former art director on Bioshock and team of veterans of the Bioshock, Halo, Guitar Hero and Rock Band series have joined forces to create a new company called The Molasses Flood and are now looking to Kickstarter to fund its first project, The Flame in the Flood.

The game follows the protagonist and faithful hound Aesop who roams the backwaters of a forgotten procedurally-generated post-societal America. Fight the elements to forage for food, loot and supplies as well as use survival tactics to craft, stay warm, stay dry, stay healthy …oh, and avoid the unfriendly ecology!

Musical duties for the game will be produced and feature the talents of alt-country rocker Chuck Ragan, and a raft of (pun intended) other special guests.

The team are looking to raise over $150,000 with, at time of writing, under 28 days to go. Currently the game has secured over the half the pledges required and if successful it will come to PC and Mac around July 2015.
