Two different games share the short name FLAM, and they do not share a developer. FLAM EVAW (炽澜号) is a paid Windows live-action detective story set on a cruise ship, released 17 October 2025 at $9.99. On 11 November 2026 the English Steam page showed 1,376 reviews, 95% positive, labelled Overwhelmingly Positive. The store copy promises 12 endings, 74 achievements, more than 200 options, and 300 clue decks. I use those store figures as the headline and I do not replace them with a community recount.
There is no browser build and no official embed. The night-ship picture at the top is a scene of that cruise setting, and the picture itself links to the FLAM EVAW store page. “Play the story” opens the chapter walkthrough on this site. If you want the free game instead, that is FLAM: The Purge of the Century, a 2022 Windows download by Denis Blondel, French audio only.
Where to start
What changed after launch
The useful freshness is in the patches, not in a made-up news ticker. Patch 1.1 on 18 October 2025 lowered the self-rescue Speech/Tech check from 80 to 75 and added a Realistic-mode exclusive ending. Patch 1.2 on 19 October 2025 lowered the AIKO high-Justice check from 50 to 35 and the affection check from 60 to 50. Those patch 1.2 numbers are the ones in the endings table. A free DLC, the Immersive movie graphics style package, shipped the same day as the base game and is required for the Movie Expert achievement. Steam lists 27 GB of required storage for that DLC; the community guide says an extra 25 GB. I keep both figures.
Full Motion Emotion, writing on 23 October 2025, put a first run around 4 hours and a completionist run around 11 hours, against the store’s “428 minutes of video.” I treat the clock times as one reviewer’s measurement and the 428 minutes as the publisher’s claim. FMVDB’s copy-sold estimate is not on this page, because it is an estimate.
