The Flame in the Flood is a wilderness survival game in which a girl and her dog travel down a procedurally generated river on foot and by raft. Players must gather resources, craft tools, treat ailments, avoid vicious wildlife, and, most importantly, stay healthy in a dangerous wilderness.

The game was developed by The Molasses Flood, who consisted of a team of people who previously worked on BioShock, Halo 2, and Rock Band. They had a successful crowdfunding campaign, raising $251,647 out of a goal of $150,000.

This is the pitch deck that The Molasses Flood used to pitch game ideas to publishers. According to Lead Designer Forrest Dowling, the team did not use it to pitch many game publishers because most publishers wanted to see something playable instead, but it was distributed in investor and media meetings.
