The Flood

The flood is a 5-minute experience in which there is no action to perform, no story to follow or element to interact with. If not to advance a small boat on a river. The game is presented as such so you can not be surprised by trying it and it is obvious that it will not suit everyone. The music is very nice and soothing and we immediately discover the graphics full of charm. At the outset, we are persuaded to spend a few nice minutes. A few sentences (in French) punctuly our progression on a theme, also announced. And this is the end of the game that happens after a final sentence. And now I'm terribly frustrated. I don't know why so many keys had functions that you never have the ability to use in the game (you need only 4 directional keys). There were so many details of the décor on which I wanted to be able to click, if only to have a zoom or a document to read. There were several places where I wanted to dock and explore the shoreline, open a door. But no, it's not possible. What if I missed something? If I had passed completely beside a whole part of the game? If I had not understood anything and it was possible to carry out more actions and access to secret places? Okay, I'm doing the game again. The music is always pleasant and the decorations are always charming. But the text seems to me already less relevant, not very original, even gnangnan. And the speed of the boat is slow, but so slow. You'd have to be blind, one-armed and paralytic to hit an obstacle. I dig a little, I try to go to new places with my boat but no, I will find nothing. So I come back to this music and to this universe and I hope that these 5 little minutes are the first glimpse of a future game, that soon I will know what is happening in this world that crosses this little river and that I will be accompanied by this same melody. No reason not to recommend this title but everyone should understand before playing it if it suits him or not. At worst, it's free and it only takes me five minutes.
