About Floodcore

We are developping Floodcore into a full game!
Join our discord server for updates and chat with the devs!
Floodcore is a puzzle adventure game in which you explore an ancient civilization in a flooded world, and discover a mysterious power to overcome the temple's challenges.

This game is a vertical slice made by 5 French students within 8 months as a graduation project. You can expect 15 to 30 minutes of gameplay depending on your affinity with puzzle games and your sense of spatial awareness in a 3D environment.

Your power allows you to swap positions with specific objects in the world, or swap them together. Delve further into the temple and solve puzzles that require you to become a part of them.

Each area expands on the swap mechanic and makes you use it in different ways.
Some will challenge you and require you to anticipate several moves ahead, while others will need you to figure out every possibility, and there are often several different solutions for them!

You will discover multiple ruins laid by an ancient civilisation, each with its own visuals and purpose.
From the temple's surface to its underground, all the way to a luxuriant garden, you will experience each area differently with their puzzles and atmosphere.

At any point in time, you can take a step back and enjoy the calm atmosphere with the sound of waves, birds, wind and waterfalls.

[h1] [b]Should be called Swapcore[/b] Short adventure with some puzzles. Tag and swap places, bond can be created between two objects and activated when close enough - neat idea. Nice scenery. Game is optimized poorly, I can run Far Cry 6 more smoothly. Very short is the biggest drawback here. [/h1]

This is not a game. It is a cute little demo which was the result of a student project. The graphics are 3D cartoon, and are absolutely amazing. Also, the scenery in here is positively beautiful. It is a nice casual atmosphere with some soft background music. You play as a pilot of a small seaplane who lands next to the pier of an island covered by a huge temple compound. Your objective is to walk from this end of the temple compound to the other end of it, while solving puzzles along the way. The puzzles are fairly simple. You must put the right box on the right pressure plate in a couple of ways, most commonly by using your powers of position-swapping. You can swap positions between yourself and a box, or swap the positions of 2 boxes. The Store Page says you should be able to complete the game in 15 to 30 minutes. However, I experienced a glitch where a puzzle kept "[i]crashing[/i]" itself and would reset me back to the beginning of that puzzle. Thus, I had to screw around with this for 1.5 hours before being able to complete the game. It was the puzzle with the 3 boxes ([i]1 pink, 1 blue, and 1 white[/i]). It did not matter which box I used. I tried all 3 of them…

A small little demo of a game, but its got potential. I found it on a list of "free Steam games that will remind you of Zelda", (a series I have missed since I turned to Steam.). It actually would up reminding me more of Ico than Zelda, but that is by no means a bad thing! I wish them luck in developing this into a full game!
