Initially an MFA (Master of Fine Arts) thesis, flOw is a game about piloting an aquatic organism through a surreal biosphere where players consume other organisms, evolve, and advance their organisms down toward the abyss.

Its not a sequel as such, but it will have new content, better graphics, improved controls, better soundtrack, online play etc. Basically taking the game to the next level, while addressing consumer feedback from the PSP version (the developer collected about 60 pages worth in a doc). At Neogaf developer Mario confirmed the game will have a free downloadable demo.
