Gameindustry News:

I’m a fan of gaming as a relaxing way to get away from the real world for a while, hence my profound love for the Elder Scrolls games, but there is some part of me that enjoys the pragmatism, maybe even the fatalism of doing the best you can and still dying. I mean that’s life, right? So The Flame in the Flood is a tiny little simulation of life where you’re lucky enough to get a raft and a dog, and that’s pretty great.

The Flame in the Flood earns a perfect 5 GiN Gems for being so amusingly awesome.

Score: 5/5

Kotaku:

As I navigated The Flame in the Flood’s dangerous river, I felt that same merciless pull. Despite its flaws, this game perfectly captures what it feels like to live on, with, and against the water. My journey downstream has been studded with unexpected victories and dramatic failures, tall tales to rival any told by the characters I’ve met. It retold a part of my life in a strange but familiar way, offering a glimpse into another world that felt both foreign and like home.
