Thanks for reading, and we can’t walt to share more in the future. The Great Molasses Flood, also known as the Boston Molasses Disaster, 1 2 3 was a disaster that occurred on January 15, 1919, in the North End neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. In the meantime, we’re hiring, so if you’re interested in seeing what we’re up to, send along a resume! We would love to talk about what we’re working on, but we’re going to have to wait for now. The Great Boston Molasses Flood of 1919 killed 21 after 2 million gallon tank erupted The wave moved at 35 miles per hour and was 25 feet high and 160 feet wide at its outset as it rushed through. A day where 21 lives were lost and 150 more were injured, a day where capitalism failed, and death won. A dark wave shocked Boston’s population, when an 8 meters(25 foot) wave of Molasses swept through the streets of Boston, after a catastrophic failure at the Purity Distilling Company. When we started talking with CD Projekt, they made it clear that they weren’t looking to simply absorb us, but rather embrace us and support our own culture and growth.

So what does this mean? We get to build a completely new game in the universe of an existing CD Projekt IP, we get to hire a lot more folks, and we get to keep making games based on the same principals that have always guided us: making games with heart built on rich gameplay systems. We’ve got some pretty cool news to share… The Molasses Flood has officially joined CD Projekt! The Molasses Flood, founded in 2014, is best known for its survival titles, including 2016s The Flame in the Flood, and Drake Hollow, released in 2020. Here is a message from The Molasses Flood studio head Forrest Dowling on the acquisition:
