Curator Review

By Penguins Cave August 1, 2018

“流れゆく川のように、時間は常に流れ続けます。時の支流はいくつにも分かたれ、人は迷い、選択し、いずれは立ち止まらざるを得なくなる時もあるでしょう。The Floodは5分間という短い旅の中で、あらゆる示唆を与えてくれます。氾濫による惨状を見て決意を新たにするか、小さなボートで進み続ける己に希望を見出すか、製作者であるOndrej氏の示す「旅」は、きっと人それぞれの形で心に刻まれるはずです。C.P.”

“It’s a simple, but well executed little game that makes for a nice antidote to the hyperactive, objective based gameplay that’s prevalent in modern game design.”

COMMENT FROM DEVELOPER:

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!
