About The Deluge

"The forest seemed like a fairy tale when you were little, one where you might wander down the trail and never return. In truth, it only stretches a few acres to what used to be an outlying subdivision. Now, though, it might fulfill its old potential. An adventurer could wade, then swim, then find an entire realm under the still and clouded water. Do you still believe that?" A hypertext exploration game about the physical and emotional landscape of your flooding hometown and your attempts to get the hell out.
