About the game

Fall into a chill survival adventure, with a talking campfire as your guide. Explore, craft, fish and hunt during the day, and ask your fire three questions each night. Choose wisely: Winter isn't the only surprise in this beautiful, hand-drawn world. Playable in cosy or realistic mode.

Original Steam description

Survival Re-Imagined. Wishlist or Play the free extended demo today! Here's what you can expect:


Well maybe one or two, but not 10,000. All the depth, none of the grind. Because in a real forest, trees fall on their own...

Done your day? Fast travel home. Snackable sessions where you can't lose your progress - or your place in the world...

Depth comes from the Canadian-inspired wilderness, ever changing seasons and an Indigenous-led team with real survival knowledge. Discover what it really takes to live on the land...


Each night, you get to ask the wise fire for three skills, hints or stories. It won't give away everything, but the fire is always there if you get stuck...


Eat once a night, at the fire. Spend your days truly immersed in this hand-painted world - not watching a dozen level bars go down...


Start in fall and get ready for winter, while also trying to figure out how you arrived on this island, and how you might escape...



We’ve all looked at a fire. And we’ve all stared up at the sky. Each time you unlock a craft, the stars come together to tell you how it’s truly made...

From a fox you can befriend and mysterious spirit creatures at night, many creatures help unravel the mystery of this world (Couch and Online Coop also launching early 2027).
