Throw your toys into your fire, and play with them as they burn. An adventure that takes place almost entirely in front of a fireplace - about looking up up up out of the chimney, and the cold world just on the other side of the wall. From the creators of World of Goo and Human Resource Machine.
The game primarily revolves around burning various objects in a virtual fireplace. Players are given a catalog of items they can purchase and then ignite. As players burn different combinations of items, they earn coins to purchase more objects to burn, creating a cyclical gameplay loop.
The fire effects are highly detailed, with flames realistically licking at the items and producing ashes, sparks, and smoke. Burning items elicits diverse reactions, from simple ignition to complex behaviors like explosions or gravity-defying physics. Watching these satisfying, tactile burning animations is a major draw of the experience.
A key part of the gameplay is discovering "combos" - specific combinations of items that, when burned together, unlock special effects or rewards. The game provides cryptic clues about these combos, challenging players to experiment and figure out the solutions. Solving these combo puzzles and witnessing the unique results is a rewarding challenge that keeps players engaged.
As players continue burning items and earning coins, they unlock new catalogs of increasingly unusual and bizarre objects to set ablaze. Progressing through the game's content and unlocking new items to experiment with provides a sense of progression and discovery.
Interestingly, the act of burning items in the fireplace is interwoven with a deeper narrative. As players burn their way through the game, they receive letters from various characters that slowly unveil a larger, more thought-provoking story. This narrative element adds depth and meaning to the core gameplay loop, giving players a reason to continue playing beyond the base satisfaction of watching things burn.
