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!

用极简的形式传递出了难得的平静。操控小船顺流而下的过程,像一场无需思考的短途旅行,水面泛着柔和的光,两岸草木随流波动,简单的画面却透着自然的治愈感。没有复杂的任务,只需偶尔避开石块,这种低压力的玩法反而让人放松。搭配舒缓的背景音,水流声与风声交织,很容易沉浸其中。作为一款免费小游戏,它精准抓住了“短平快”的治愈核心,适合碎片化时间里用来放空思绪,值得一试。
overall alright for free.

Dunque...tutti hanno dato spiegazioni filosofiche io vi dirò la verità XD circa 5 minuti dove guidi con WASD una barca attraverso un fiume con svariate strettoie mentre compaiono scritte da psicologo/tutor/trainer sul senso della vita e tempo mal speso. fine. una sigaretta mentre leggete e ascoltate la musica chill di sottofondo si può fare,è gratuito u.u
I wasn't in the mood, I guess. If some meetings could've been an e-mail, this game could've been a video. I think it was supposed to be an art piece, but it didn't move me, on the contrary, I got annoyed and disappointed. Also, it's highly unoptimised. FPS dips when restricted below 10 Watts TDP on Steam Deck... with nothing to justify it.

Даже если привычный мир разрушен, катастрофа оставила вас без крова, это ещё не конец! Жизнь - самое ценное что у нас есть! Супер короткая игра, но с глубоким смыслом. <3
静心之旅 顺流而下,逆流则道阻且艰
Чудова гра - це дуже спокійний і короткий наративний досвід, який залишає після себе приємне відчуття. Гра не намагається вразити складністю чи екшеном: замість цього вона пропонує тиху подорож річкою, де головне — сам шлях, а не фініш. Завдяки простій, але атмосферній подачі The Flood нагадує, що інколи варто зупинитися, видихнути й просто насолодитися моментом.
В начале отнёсся сомнительно к этой игре, но дал ей шанс. К концу игры я правда расслабился, так что описание не врёт. Для тех, кто просто хочет расслабиться и почитать красиво сформулированные строчки, что кстати наоборот помогает, то очень советую! Прошёл полностью за 8 минут
